1. The old SI limited the length of each line (in a thread's message text), similar to the way a newspaper limits column width. The human eye/brain can deal with only so much on a line before it becomes over-tiring. Your new version needs to limit the line length similar to the old version to avoid this problem. (This is much more apparent above 800x600 cisplay.) 2. The list of subjects in the subjectmarks list is much more difficult to read in the beta than in the old version. Perhaps its the boxes around the old version that helps readability, but again the lines are long and to get the data my eye has to follow along the line alllll the way across the page. The old version used multiple lines but the pertinent data was close together and easy to spot at a glance. We can't afford the time to be slowed down in this way. 3. The multiple message view is a good enhancement as long as the problem in item 1 above is fixed. Also need to be able to make multiple messsage view the default and to adjust the number of messages on the page to more than 10.
