Pretty dazz! I also like the new stats display at the top. Just for fun eye
candy, you could juice that up and show a graph of the stats for the past month
or whatever.
Another idea:
Consider the display:
http://beta.forum.dlang.org/group/general
and compare with:

After each post, the first non-quoted line of text from the post is inserted.
(The n/m means n = non-quoted lines and m = total lines.) This gives a nice clue
which one would be most interesting to click on. Slashdot does this:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/15/06/04/2250233/researchers-power-a-security-camera-with-wi-fi-signals
Slashdot does it even better by expanding/contracting the clicked on post inline
rather than opening a new page, and having to go back and forth between pages. I
think this significantly better.
