I wanted to use the new layout for a while to see if I would get used to it before I made any comments here.
On my forum at
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/175790.html I already had a custom style sheet with very small indenting to prevent most threads from going over to the edge. That meant 8 was too small for the cut off.
I also made a similar style sheet for my friend Sia☺giah who posted below. I will let Sia☺giah know of the improvement.
