    I think the new lay-out and design are very good and will be helpful for newbies especially to find their way around.
    I actually think it looks a bit like a Monopoly board and if that was the aim - given the link with money - then I should receive 1st prize for being the 1st to spot it! :)
    Of course, as you and your designers will be aware there are too many colours in use but I can see that that may have been unavoidable given the number of sub-divisions.
    Whatever else, when you are tweaking never forget your myopic members who quite possibly out number those with 100% sight.
    I love you all for working so hard. More power to your collective elbow!
    Stop looking for answers....
    The most you can hope for are clues.....:)
  • Great new look, didn't spot forum link - going back to look, but love the new layout, well done all xx

    Doh, now I've found it!!
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

    Looks good and agreed that it needs a makeover. Need to be careful it does not start to look too commercial though, in my opinion (if it counts at all, im no expert!).
  • It looks nice.

    I really like the new look, modern and sleek. Looking forward to it going live!

    Too many colours I agree, bit of an insane colour scheme to use and the forum link is far too hidden.

    Nice to see that it's valid XHTML 1.0 however (so many developers don't bother) :)

    You're right about the colours, imho it looks like a sweet shop facia! The existing home page doesn't look corporate, the new one isn't as easy to navigate and I agree with the other posters who took issue with the hard-to-find Forum link. Apart from that it's okay. Looking forward to V 2.1 :rotfl:

    Only just seen this link - where have I been you say :rolleyes: :p !

    Looks bright and colourful and looks easy enough to find our way round. No doubt hiccups at first but should be great!

    Well Done Martin ;) :T :T :T

    I agree with the forum comment - I couldn't find it and only found out where it was after reading above comments!! Maybe a different colour and some movement in the balloon showing that the forum is 'live' would help! It's looking good though!
    I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!
