Bryan, I agree with those who complained about the message lists. I suggest:

1) Get rid of the zebra striping. It's inconsistent with the other lists on SI, and the diminished contrast is quite painful for those with less-than-perfect vision.

2) Use only one line for each message. Reduce the length of the text string extract, and/or truncate the person's name, and/or abbreviate the date. Eliminate the inconsistent wrapping that sometimes spreads these fields across two or three lines.

3) Increase the space between lines, and perhaps increase the font size a notch.

Brian, the message list is by far my biggest complaint about the New SI. The bizarre thing is that if you're on a thread where one poster has a long name, it causes all the lines to wrap. This is why I wonder if you and your developer's are using the same monitor configuration as normal people. Are you seeing this problem? It just looks so tacky.

I really hope you can do something about this.
