    to be fair, there are so many options for us unlike any other websites, if we know our way to the user control panel - may be that needs to be highlighted in the mse introductory video

    but we're true moneysavers :D we want a lot for free and don't settle for tokens like options hehe

    ps: there are too many threads on the new look now, I'm lost :o

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Overall, a great improvement. Clean, clear, fresh and much more professional looking. Sorry Martin - I do have to mention your picture. The pose really makes you look defensive but even worse, rather smug. The shirt colour is now good but it still looks like some ironing is needed! The lighting is much too toppy, meaning we can't see your eyes. We need to see them and with a catchlight in one at least. The picture was taken with too short a focal length lens - giving big arms with a little head. Just my personal thoughts from over 40 years of professional portrait photography. PS, going by the preview, this will appear with my paragraphs removed. Sorry but I don't know how to correct that.

    At least rethink the 'placard' images, they look like something a 6th former might have made. Lame.

    It is fantastic with these colors when you hover it and the royal blue subheadings. I like it :j

    These miscellaneous stuff on the sides now look simply fabulous because of that uniformity. I'm getting a little tired of curvy outlines though. I used to like it but you're late :p it is not trendy anymore.

    and then the forum navigation

    I still believe these icons are disproportionately big. The idea of icons is to symbolise something, to use it as an accessory and shouldn't be overriding the text, imo.

    By the way I remember seeing Martin's q&a videos here and there - no idea which pages they are on - why not compile it and give us a link to it?
