#1 I have the same problem with my site re the sizing. I've heard it's from absolute sizing of the tables, but I think it has to do with the way I have my stylesheet set up. See, I like the purty colored scrollbar. So it sizes fine in my resolution (1240 by 780 or whatever it is) but at smaller rezes I get the Dreaded Horizontal Scrollbar. What to do? I haven't been able to figure out a hack yet. Rrrr.

#2 I think that's what it is. I set my narrow table to a fixed size so the links fit into it somewhat, and leave my main table to resize.

#3 It is pretty damn impressive looking I have to agree. However Opera hates it and crashes sometimes. It looks good when Opera finally takes to it.

#4 I'm seeing the same scroll bar at 800x600 in IE 5.0. IE 5.0 has a bug in calculating content + padding + margin + border. It often goes wider than the designer intended. And sometimes assumptions are made about how much width you have in an 800x600 display. The answer is not 800 pixels, it's closer to 775-780. But I agree, other than minor quibbles I'm sure will be fixed, both of her redesigns look nice.
