I'm especially interested to know if there are any display problems. If so, OS and Browser please. IE6 or earlier should get the old page.

Hmm I have IE7 and see the old layout

Not the front page. Just individual news items. For now.

Hmmmm. Tiny pic of the product in question tucked away below the text, massive advert for something else right beside the text.

Bit intrusive and misleading.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

What's different?

The advert is labeled as an advert and it should be in the flow of the text (right aligned). Of course some news items are a bit short so it may look odd being so large...

Unfortunately KVR isn't a charity and we need to generate revenue from somewhere. Ads are the easiest way.

Are you using IE6? If so you won't see the difference.

Actually looks fine with Firefox 1.0; but I expect you knew that.

I agree about the distraction of the advert.

If I look at this page in firefox v1.5.0.9:

http://www.kvraudio.com/news/6659.html

It's fine, since the advert pushes to the bottom. I can see it, but it doesn't overwhelm the text and graphics of the news item. But if I look at this one:

http://www.kvraudio.com/news/6662.html

The advert falls to the side and seems to be the main focus of the page, more obvious than the text and to close to the company logo. I think it'd make more sense if there was a demarcation between the text and the advert. Like if the advert always fell to the side, and everything related to the news item fell to the other side.

Even something as simple as this, a vertical bisecting line forcing a fixed width on the text of the news item and a little extra space above the advert:
