I am guessing here, but the new site was probably designed for the bulk of newer machines/monitors out there that run in at least 1024x768 display resolution.

the site is built to fill up most of that, since it is almost the defacto standard display resolution these days.

In my case, it's too small for the screen.  
I have a 19 inch, and it doesn't fill the width of the screen.
The discussion board wraps lines much sooner than it should.
There's an artificial right margin that stops only 2/3 of the width.  When you combine that with the left menu section, the main body is very narrow and almost all subject lines wrap to a second line and it's difficult to read.  The old format always shows each subject on a single line, and the indenting looks good.

Which poses a prob on monitors with 800 x 600 or say I dunno...the many many TER guys (and girls) who like to sneak a look during the day.  You could size the old site to a small browser and see everything ok, which is very very good if you like to keep things discrete and multi-task with lots of different things open.  Unfortunately, the staticness of the new site makes that difficult.

One of my web friends suggested this: Right column needs to have its width removed and the buttons along the top need to be in a separate table.

Perhaps you understand what that means. I am not a web techie, just passing on that message.
