I wouldn't want to see the table width set to 70%. I use a 21 inch monitor at 1280x1024 resolution, but I always set browser windows to what I consider a comfortable reading width -- about 640 pixels. If the table is set to a percentage of that width, then a portion of the window becomes useless screen waste. It would be better to choose a set width (630 has become the web standard, it seems) or to leave it the way it is, so users can set the browser to whatever width they wish. My only complaint about the current setup is that the bottom information bar ("Symbol/Last Trade" etc.) on stock message boards is too wide. It requires a browser width of about 800 pixels to fit the whole thing on the screen. I'd prefer to see the "More Info" cell moved to a second row below the other information. And the colors: I like them. I prefer them to the pastel easter-egg colors of the old site.
