I use a whitelist for cookies because of how often they are abused. I have Javascript disabled because it noticeably speeds up page display; Javascript has a negative effect on incremental display and it makes Opera's instant back/forward much less instant. Also, it's rarely used to do anything useful. Usually there are better ways to do what Javascript is used for, e.g. with CSS. In this case, bolding new threads could trivially be done serverside (and I'd gladly let it set cookies for that). For now, I suppose I'll just use the 'All threads' page, which still has timestamps.
And I'm not the table guy, I wuv CSS. However I do agree there are a bit too much span/div tags in your code (it should use lists instead in some cases).
