I'm not really loving the new layout.
The maroon/crimson and gray don't contrast enough so it's hard on the eyes. Plus, they just don't compliment each other. A lighter gray (the gray that shows up around the post box when you're writing a post, for instance) would look better than the current main gray color.
And the posting page needs to be tweaked. You can't see the white text on the light gray background.
