Is it my imagination or did the background get darker? Now make the reply from area different from the new message section. Maybe grey out the text or lighten the background. Maybe a thicker border line. Getting rid of the red text was a good idea also. Starting to look pretty good imo.
Hint: When refreshing a page, it will refresh to where the cursor was last active. If you use the scroll wheel to go from the first post to let's say the 12th, and hit refresh without making the 12th post the last clicked, it will refresh to the top.
