Moving this to GameBanshee Discussion. With a redirect, so you get two-forums-for-one, except with anchovies.

| If bunny rabbits can't troll, doesn't that mean that trolls rabbit bunnies? 
Anyways, I like the layout.

It also puts more of a spotlight on the forums that were toward the bottom of the list and makes it easier to see the "What's Going On?" panel. |

As a side note, I also liked the previous lay out better. This one makes me click each and every category. Unless I can get it to show the long list again? |

| | | I also preferred the original layout but I can understand the reason for the change. Might I make a suggestion? Now bear in mind I know nothing of programming so what I ask may be a monumental task. I really couldn't say...the only progamming I was ever able to understand was Basic on my Commodore 64...now that's old school! How about drop down menus for each of the different categories in question? Gets rid of clutter but keeps checking the forums easy.

Yes, I understand the reason why the new layout has been introducet, but it makes keeping up with some forums rather hard.
For example, with the old layout, it was easy and fast to check if there was something new in Fallout -section. Now, I have to go to the RPG subforum every time to check IF there is something new...

| | | Also, the "newest reply" highlight loses relevance. Most of the time, said thread titles are rather general and don't mean much without the title of the game they're referring to. |

Gets rid of clutter but keeps checking the forums easy. | Does the "Forum Jump" dropdown at the bottom of most forum pages help in this regard? There really isn't a good way for me to add another set of dropdowns under each category name on the main index, as it would require changing the vBulletin templates and would mean that I'd have to keep all the links up-to-date by hand. |

| | | I stumbled upon a vBulletin modification that allows me to display a tidy list of sub-forums on the forum index. Hopefully this helps better navigate the forums with the additional tier. |

| | Just when I was getting used to the new layout, you changed it again. Hehe.
Buck, I usually don't comment on things like this, but if you want our feedback, I'll let you know how I feel about the latest changes in a few days after I've gotten used to them. I mean, complaints about something right after it has changed usually don't mean anything besides, "We don't like changes, waah, waah!!"
