The indentation of comments in expanded mode could probably be a little bigger. Right now the indentation is a big too subtle.
The pages look kind of bland without the story icons.
Other than that, good work.

Since I can't read unicode from numbers, being only a lesser geek-aspirant, to see what the author intended, I fired up my editor (TextMate), started a new html 4.01 transitional, and did a browse window on. Why not just use utf-8 on undeadly and show the characters as nature intended?

The "Comments", "Flat" and "Expanded" seems out of place. They shouldn't, because they are placed similar in the new and old layout, I think maybe it's because the font is the same as the one used for links in the news items. The same goes for the "Show thread", "Reply to this comment", "Mod Up" and "Mod Down", they look misplaced. The threading of comments looks weird again, it shouldn't, because it hasn't really changed.
Making layout for websites i an ungrateful job, people will always complain. Really I find that the worst thing you can do is starting to define fonts, it will never look the same on every system. Just drop all the font stuff.

I agree with these posts (and with the people who say put the cute images back) in addition:
* the navigation links beneath comments are too intrusive (font size is too large, and those dashed lines...) I liked the old ones
* the grey bar at the top of every page which contains the "search" box needs to be taller to fit in the search box (or move the search box back to where it was, it was fine...)
* the vote counter / display (top of this page) is broken in so many ways (too wide, histogram not displayed correctly, border box looks silly)
* we need an "older stuff" pane on the sidebar of the front page and more padding at the top of this sidebar
Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this, I look forward to seeing the final product!

perhaps add multiple stylesheets, some with more colour than the default grey on white.

The outline around the '30 comments : reply : flattened' looks rather out of place to my eyes, and strange.

It's not too bad, but there are some issues with it; namely, the code semantics aren't all that hot, as it appears tables are still being used. The threaded discussions would look much better on non-CSS-aware browsers if an unordered list rather than a table were used to show them. CSS is good, but its purpose is defeated if the code it's applied to isn't well-structured.
Another issue is that the front page seems to stretch for me under Gecko, but I'm not sure yet whether or not that's just a fluke. On the whole, the style looks nice.

and where else are tables used where they should not?

My mistake. I was looking at the old source by mistake. The newer layout is coded somewhat better, but using divs rather than tables still presents the same problem, if not a worse one--tables at least provide default styling that can be understood on even the oldest browsers, whereas with divs, in the absence of style sheets they're unstructured blocks. As I mentioned, a much better solution would be to represent comments as items in an unordered list:
This would be even easier to style than the indented-div scheme employed in the new style, and in the absence of CSS support, it would still look acceptable.

i see what you're proposing but is not totally clear to me yet how to do this w/ the current cgi and templates.
i'll see

-increase the indentation a little
-maybe pick a slightly bolder/larger font
All small nits... I like it regardless. Great work!

Who could believe that it has come so be such a mainstay in just a short year? Great work!

I also quite liked the grey background of the sidebar-boxes.
CSS-compliance is always good, keep up the great job!
