I like the little icon up at the top letting me know I am signed on...
Looks great!
dRD: I remember you said you wrote all the software for the site/forums. Is this still the case? Just curious. Looks great regardless.

JXP2307: Yep, that is still the case, although I have now two guys helping me out. Teemu (our gfx guy) does all the layout, so if you like/hate the new layout, he'll hear your comments :-)

I like the changes, they kind of shocked me at first (I had to recheck my browser to make sure I was at the right site. ;)).
Maybe its just me but, is the site 100% width now? It looks like it but I could be wrong.
Peace,

Yes, it takes about 10 seconds to re-orient and recognize everything and I think it is a very positive improvement. Excellent job!!!

I like it too. Only took me a minute to find how to get to my List of Forum Posts, so now everything is great! I like the green, for the tab you're in. Adds a little more color............. :o)

i prefer the way the top used to look...withjust the old blue background for the links to be against, it's nowhere near as attractive :(

sorry,
but i have to say this,for some reason the new top of the main page is now too bright and hurts my eyes when i look at it..
maybe its the contrast of the black blue and bright yellow that makes it hard to view..
i have problems seeing as it is..the brightness makes me want to turn my head away..or move the page down as fast as i can..

Those huge tabs at the top are a real annoyance, they're too bright and visible.. And i'm missing one tab, as we normally could use navigation to get to our accounts... now i can only find my account page through the main page.

I'm also one of the many that went "WTF? Am I on the right site?" when I saw the new menu layout.
@The Fiend
The "My Account" tab is now just a link at the top left of the page. It's in that row of links with Mobile/PDA, About us, and Advertise Here. You've probably already noticed it by now though.

Couple of things to say about this:
First of all i like it sort of. (read on)
I think the tabs are WAY to big doesn't fit with links under it at all.
Don't like the black bar at the top at all.
Like the strech so it fill full screen.
Everything else i like :)
Good job all in all

Indeed, i found the account thingy, so that's solved, sort of..
It's just that the whole layout looks f*cked up now, even on 1280 X 1024 resolution.

i think it's great, not sure if i like the big tabs yet, but the top of page has a nice 'shine' to it - clearer; i have a 'brightview' laptop screen so it looks really crisp - about time, the old look is very bland.

put a brill and contrast control on so the brightness can be changed..for the tabs and back ground....
when ye have poor eye sight the brightness of the new change is a blur
and smeared.......

All in all it's an improvement. I like it. The blue Nicks really almost look irridescent on my CRT. It's a lot nicer on the reply page where the big red ad does not appear. Good job.

i spend very little time up top of screen, all our work/searching is done further down the pages so i don't personally see changes up top causing major problems.
for anyone that can't see the changes, here's mine using the Epiphany browser -
