It's the double columns and the flag in the left background. It condenses the information in the center, even on my 19" monitor, so I have to scroll more frequently as I check out headlines looking for stories of interest. But more frequent scrolling adds more movement of text - which is annoying. My eye is distracted by the colors and double sidebars as well, leading to a more visually confusing experience.

Well, I have my screen resolution set really high, so I usually narrow the windows down anyway for easier reading... Long unbroken lines are harder to read for me than narrower columns... back to the newspaper thing. I hope you like it fine in time. My eyes arent' distracted by the the sidebars... They are like a frame that blends in for me.

I really like how the "My Comments" (Self Search) lights up in the sidebars... when you refresh a page and have new messages. No more having to do a self-search to know if anyone has replied to me.
