Good point about the visited/unvisited links, the only skins I've seen that highlight visited/unvisted links properly are the Imperial one, The JtL one and the original SWG skin, guess which ones happen to be set on my three accounts 
Seriously the visited/unvisited colours make it so muchg easier to use features like the Dev Tracker/Admin Tracker as well as the main forum views, and its such a small easy thing for a template maker to add that you wonder why they don't!
Also points I made on another post about the huge font sizes, large image banners and large amounts of wasted space on pretty much all of the newer skins:

PS is there any reason all the new skins have those huge banners at the top? My favourite skin of all time is the "Starwars Galaxies" skin (the original one from when the game was released), I only switched away from it a few months ago because looking at it every day for nearly two years got a bit much! Its good points are A) its work-safe as it only has a small banner at the top, B) it (like the JtL skin) has a smaller font, and less wasted "white space" around the page, meaning that posts take up less space, and you can read the pages with much less scrolling.
I'd really love to see another "lightweight" skin like the "Starwars Galaxies" one, with a thin banner along the top, a minimum of wasted space on the page, and without huge font sizes, if you guys are looking for ideas for future skins.

The stacking is driving me nuts as well...

Shame that the new skins don't have a different color for visited links like the imperial skin does. I might have actually used it.
/sigh
