This layout and design is awful. It's like a child with a my little p[ont fixation dreamt it up. It certainly doesn't work well in Firefox (text is misaligned in various places) and I'm not going back to the bug ridden easily and frequently hackable Internet Explorer.
Why change it? If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. If this stays, I only hope there is an option to have the previous skin. Don't like it at all.
