I like the new layout. It looks good and I'm not having much trouble reading it. One question, when I look at threads where pictures are posted, there aren't any thumbnails any longer and when I click on one, a new tab opens to display it. Is there some setting(s) that can bring back the original functionality?

Also, I do feel compelled to make one comment. As an information security professional, I'm very dismayed that you appear to be pushing everyone to Internet Explorer, stating that other browsers aren't fully compatible. I use Firefox with several plugins such as NoScript, specifically to protect myself from many of the Javascript based attacks that proliferate the internet. Pushing people to IE is quite simply a bad idea. And no, I'm not an Apple fanboy or a Linux geek, I use Windows, but I take appropriate steps to make it less likely to be subjected to a successful malicious attack. Please reconsider whatever is breaking the Firefox functionality.
