Thanks very much. I honestly tried to tell everyone that it's coming, but everyone seemed to freak out and start "abandoning ship" to other forums.

I had not intended to release the new home page until it was done, but panicked and impatient users being what they are

Just be patient. More changes are coming, hence the "beta" in the logo.

I'm not sure why anyone is freaking out about the changes here! It looks and feels pretty similar to me?

Agreed.. I like this much better..

I like it too. I particularly like the new logo in the Topaz typeface.

Awesome job Wayne! I look forward to seeing the other changed you mentioned, as your personal time permits. Thanks for all your hard work!

I jumped on pre-beta and was a little confused with the layout. NOW, on the other hand, things feel like things never really changed. Me loves it!

PS- now I just need to find my blasted avitar pic again and upload it...

Just in case anyone isn't aware of what the little orange boxes (with a tiny arrow pointing upwards) on the top right of each title bar are for.

They allow you to show or hide sections on the page.

For instance if you dont want to see your avatar at the top of the front page you can collapse that section thusly:

I hope that was useful for someone if it wasn't already glaringly obvious.

Looks good here on IE6 Wayne (all I can use at work). Nicely done and hopefully the "panickers" will calm down now. :-)
