I'll bet your lips get tired when reading those long lines, too! Seriously, I agree. The lines are too long. It's like reading a legal contract - you have to re-read some sentences to get the thought not because the sentence is too long like this one, but simply because the line is so wide.

I suggested this format: unicus.com 640 wide, everything inside of a nested table

I'm finding I like the newer message formatting much better than the old version. I like the way a post "auto word wraps" the lines of text as I reduce the width of the browser window. Before I was stuck with a fixed message width... now I can change the amount of real estate an SI post takes on my screen without resorting to horizontal scrolling. I usually position my SI window to cover the right 2/3 of the screen and layer other windows on the left that I can click on to bring to the foreground when needed. (I think the L/R margins take up too much space though, I would like to see the text cover more of the horz width of a line) The width of some of the bars/buttons on top/bottom require occasional horz scrolling now though, but that is minor.
