Not sure what anyone else thinks, but I really like the new webpage. Good job Jay.
Overall good but forum text is almost unreadable on a 1920x 1200 screen

Very true. Need to do something about that.
Yes I like the new look very much!
I was going to comment that the image map isn't accessible, but then I started to wonder how many blind drivers really race in Lemons anyway.
Teensy weensy font is almost unreadable...
I can't read it either (but mayhaps that's good at times!)

Doesn't work on IE6 and before you laugh at me, I have no choice on my work computer.
I love the new site layout.
IE6 is no longer supported by a ton of site. Your work needs to keep up.
Yeah, no shit, but it's one of the largest companies in the world, so I doubt they care if I can read this site without squinting. Hint... they make the P71.
I'm having the same issue here as well. If I check the forum out from work I have to twist my head sideways, stick my tongue out, and roll my eyes to the heft to read the font. Maybe it'll get better in 4 years when IT upgrades to IE6. >:)
MODS PLEASE!!! USE A DIFFERENT FONT!!! PLEASE!!!?!?!?!!
Hell, I'm not even sure what I just typed. ,.|.. hey that one looks good!
replace all the forum text with comic sans bold 
Can you not increase the text size at all in IE6? Isn't there a drop down menu for that? Like View >> Text Size? Or does that not work?

You aren't alone. I work at two different hospitals, and both places still use IE6. Why? Anything 'new' is considered a HIPPA (health care privacy protection stuff) risk. And new = more recent than 2008. Bleh! The last three times I've strolled over to the forums, I've been at work. So tiny. Unreadable! I even found the option for increasing text size... which didn't help.
I was so pleased that the site was easily viewable on my MacBook Pro. Then again, at home I have a 'real' computer with a 'real' network and 'real' viewing options.

Unsubstantiated bullshit. IE6 is the security and privacy risk of the century.
They're using it as a cover for the fact that they dropped millions of dollars on some bullshit piece of software (typically billing-related) that breaks horribly if you don't use IE6.

Well, kinda sorta maybe yeah, but I can't say that out loud, can I?
Oh, and BTW, I repudiate the content of your post.
You IE sufferers could try this:

It's not that IE6 is anything great from a security standpoint, it's that the big companies have been using it for years and have plugged all the holes. Go to a new version and they need to pay IT a lot of money to tailor it for their needs. The company load is very different than the retail versions. They have nearly everything locked down. We used Win98 until about four years ago and we will keep using XP for the next few years for the same reasons.
Hello - I still cant read the forum on my laptop - the home machine is ok if I put the screen on 200% , but I cant do it on the laptop - what am i missing??
Have you emptied your cache? The forum looks very much like it used to on my laptop, blackberry, and desktop with blue bars above each post, light blue in the post itself and a lighter blue to the left with the user information.
Where's the "LIKE" and "DISLIKE" buttons?
