I had made this suggestion in an IM to the Admins, but I wanted to attach a picture that shows what I was talking about: "I'm not crazy about the left-hand-side navigation either, but I can live with it. What I CAN'T live with is the fact that the MP font size no longer is affected by my individual browser settings. The text is TOO SMALL to comfortably use now." I'll just add that the navigation bar is too cramped with the small text & the underlines...in fact, I really dislike underlines on hyperlinks (and have set my browser NOT to show them), so I wish you'd get rid of those, too (or make them match the browser settings). Here's a pic with what I'm talking about and I hope these changes can be incorporated, too.
