>Expanding the threads? What do you mean? The little box to the left of the thread with a plus or minus sign [i.e., the treeview feature]?

Yes, I mean the treeview. Before, I had them all collapsed and would expand the threads I wanted. Now, if they are collapsed, I have to expand every level, which is too hard. So I had to change it back to having them all expanded. It was easier to skim the messages before and I liked it.

>FWIW, the critical area for the browser at this site is the threads at the top and the messages at the bottom. Now that areas has been maximized. The only buttons I care about 95% of the time are the new messages, replies, agent and private messages. I also love the 2 combos.

It is nice having it a bit wider. I would have prefered simply making the left frame adjustable so I could make it skinny when not in use. As to the combos, I'm just glad there's nothing in the second one that I use often since it's a pain adjusting my IE so I can see it.
