I agree, joke and sarcasm icons are redundant. I'd rather have a yawn icon, which *is* different from a sleep icon BTW.

The way some people react, joke and sarcicon [tm] are needed, if only to show the target that you think they are too retentive to understand written humour.
For example, with the likes of you, or DD and POH, I would probably not bother to emphasise that a comment was made in jest. But for other, shall I say 'special' people, the prompt would be mandatory.

Maybe then I want a no-sarcasm icon too.

Do not forget that we have different cultures that may not grasp the point. English is not the best language for understanding a sentence.

I agree entirely. If you need to indicate it, it's not sarcasm. The best sarcasm is subtle, biting and works on many levels.

An icon for sarcasm? How about this:

That's a smiley. I think the Joke message type icon covers the original request.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

While we are at it - how about a 'bow in respect' icon - it can be used whenever a good answer to a problem is suggested.
Something like what they have on Skype.
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

.. and a crawl-and-implore icon, "plz. plz. do my homework, send me the codez".

Then we need an icon which says "get lost" or something similar.
The icon request list is growing....

Hey Chris,
The new style seems to be less readable than the old one. For one, it's smaller (not that big a deal), but the change from black to green makes the text less readable, specially for edited articles. Unedited articles have a bluish gray background that makes the green stand out, but the yellowish background edited articles have doesn't make the current shade of green an ideal foreground color. I may get used to it after a while but right now it does look a little odd.

IMO it is bad: both smaller and less contrast. Why oh why?

Yep - totally agree. Just a small oversight. It will be reverted.

Seems other styles were changed, such as the color of "Welcome to the Lounge"... was that intentional? I think I liked the green more.

I'm getting a completely wrong layout on the forums (the left forum list is expanded all over the page and the forum itself is underneath it)
Seems to happen only on web15 (but did have it on web22 as well but that seems to be ok now)
[Update] pressing 'post message' just fixed the layout but didn't actully post the message (I think) [\Update]
[Edit]Web18 / web19 seem to be suffering from it as well now [\edit]

Ctrl F5? Failing that, screen shot?

Using FireFox:
Ctrl-F5 doesn't fix it. Picture this:
It looks like the tab contents are being displayed to the right of the tabs themselves, and is overlaying the search/drilldown/announcement pane.
I'm seeing this is in "My Posts" by the way...
This is not happening in IE8

Hi, I am not sure if this is an issue or if already known but...
in the Quick Answers, I have posted an answer and afterwards realize the OP had already solved it (added new answer instead of editing question). So I want to delete my answer, but... no "delete" link there.
I can see the deletes for the other posts, but not in my own.
My answer has no posterior answers and/or votes yet.
This[^] is the Question, and here[^] is a capture of what I see.
EDIT: Forgot to say: Win XP, SP2, ie7 (don't know if that helps)
Regards.
--------
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

There is one more rule [^] that says if the post has a non-minor edit then you cannot delete it. For e.g. for this[^] post I can see delete link but for this one[^] I don't see it.
