The thing I liked about the right side bar is I can see what I haven't read and can click on the next item. Would be fine if side bar was smaller. I will get used to what ever works best. Thanks for all your work!

What kind of washer does it have between post and base? My 5XL doesn't have a washer there, metal to metal. What kind of washer does it have between nut that holds post in place? Mine has a 7/32" tall X .635" dia. nylon washer, sort of small. That post looks like it is held a little different. thanks
