Indeed v3 is aesthetically pleasing. Very nice loooking, without question. And thus far it seems pretty sweet. A couple of things, that seem to not be there that were two days ago

are being missed by me, but still hoping it'll be brought back, while they're working on all the bugs. Not quite getting the whole rating thing for the devious thoughts on my page though. Not exactly sure why I'm supposed to rate the message you left me?
As for DA being slow... I never found it that, that slow? And no I'm not even on cable modem.
