[QUOTE="Jer, post: 3764432, member: 19857"] My biggest complaint about the layout of the page is that the "tabs" on this box are completely unnecessary, given that there are buttons on the left side of the page with the same names that SHOULD take you to the same content as the tab buttons. And automatic changing of tabs is EEEEVIL - my browser shouldn't do things content-wise that I'm not telling it to do. If I'm in the middle of reading a paragraph, it shouldn't suddenly switch to a different page :( Plus, as you say, the center box IS the page - it SHOULD BE THE FOCUS. A slightly larger box could hold more than 6 article titles in it, and right now 6 articles is less than a week's worth of content. Beyond that, the 4th Edition banner across the top is singularly unhelpful, given that they don't seem to update it when they add new 4e content. If it linked to the 5 most recent 4e articles I could see why it was there, but it's static and mostly links either to things from the Gen*Con announcement or to categories of things that may or may not be new. The rest of the layout is just basically the old D&D page shuffled around - the same content is there, but it seems like a differet style sheet was slapped onto it or something. I mean, I'm not going to complain too much given that it is a FREE resource, it just doesn't make for very good advertising for their proposed "pay" resource in my mind. [/QUOTE]
