Well, I think Spoony's still playing with it...but I do miss(already, and its only been 10 or so minutes) not being able to see the last post in all the forums.
I'm done with it, but I'm not sure I like it either. The goal is to get rid of the intimidating flood of information on the main page. Now forumhome only shows the main categories and their child forums. If the icon is red there's been a new post.
If you click on a category it will bring up it's section and that will be displayed the way it was displayed before.
Again, the goal is a reduction of clutter on the forumhome page. I'm certainly not enamored to this new look either, so if anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them. If no one (including me) starts to like it in a few days I'll change it back - no big deal.
Well, I know I reduced the old thing by minimizing the sections I didn't use. Of course, that probably isn't helpful for new users, but this interface makes it hard to just browse the forums.

Alright, in fairness, I will let it grow on me, to see how much an effect it has...anyone here has a problem with this solution, no?
Too me it doesn't look like a message board anymore. If that makes any sense. I like the layout and look of NTL, rpg.net, etc. This new layout is so different than these that I have to say this is the worse change I have seen here yet. Sorry Spoony you do a lot of hard and good work but aesthetically the new layout is not my cup of tea.

Can you make the text bigger at all? That may help the illegibility.
