Yeah, just some thoughts:

Move the sidebar thing to the right side, it just seems like it would fit better on that side to me.

Instead of having the press releases all spread out, in boxes, I think it would look much nicer (and cleaner!) if it is more of a list with everything on top. So, the "title" of the PR would take up the entire width of the sidebar (potentially), and the "subtitle" link would be directly under it. Then, instead of scrolling down a lot to see the next one, it begins immediately below. I'm not sure what would be a good use of the remaining space, or if it might be possible for posts "below" the PRs on a page can overflow to take that space back again. Well, it is possible to do that, now that I think about it, only it complicates the HTML considerably.

Also, I'm noticing that on the post-reply page, the text in both Firefox and IE is extremely close to the border. I tried in both because I've generally seen something like that happen in FF, but not IE. Perhaps add a little bit of padding, a pixel or two, for this page. The same thing is on the main forum listing, but the Post Icons help out with the spacing, and the problem isn't as noticable.

And to drag an old issue up: I want the bullet logo back, damnit
