One thing I just noticed: on the main page, under "Latest Posts", it lists posts that aren't available to the main forums, like the Moderator's forum. The top post, the "Not moderator of my forums anymore?" or some such. We can't read the whole thing, since a message comes up saying I don't have permission to see it. I imagine this kind of thing would want to be hidden?
In general, I don't mind the redesign, though I must admit I really miss the News forum, as I used the forum to browse the news and see the comments. Its a little more difficult to do that now, and since recently commented news no longer gets "bumped", I'm not sure that the new format encourages discussion. That's just my personal opinion though, based on how I used the forums.

| I haven't seen that before. Funny how different stuff appears on different computers.

Isn't the news comments section coming back after the redesign is finished?

All of that content would be duplicates anyway since all of the previous news and comments have been imported into the new design. It's just wasn't possible for me to switch over to Joomla and still have vBulletin recording all the news and handling comments.
There is the news archive page if you want a listing of all the latest news, and then there's the "Latest Viewer Comments" section on the homepage. What I might end up doing is creating a full page summary of all the latest comments, but that's going to have to wait until I get through other pending issues.

It would be nice though (and more helping and tidy for Latest Viewer Comments section), if default comment's Subject contained the title of news/poll being commented upon (else I'll have to teach myself some discipline q: ).

Noticed that the forums have changed so that the left panel and top section (GB Logo, signing in etc) has disappeared. Anyone else experiencing?

I'm getting that too, and the forum is stretched to fit the width of my monitor, which is 22 inches. It makes reading posts become an exercise in reading very long lines, instead of paragraphs.

I've just went ahead and uploaded the previous forum style until I can work out the problems with the new one.
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused everyone. Please hang in there  .

Heh. Wondered why everything was suddenly fixed.

I thought it looked familiar, nice to have the 'New Posts' feature back. Prefer this forum layout anyway.
It wasn't broke, so why did you fix it?

I'm happy to see the New Posts feature is back, I was just recently getting used to that. I've encountered another little bug on the main page. The flash object at the upper center of the page is always shown as the upper layer of the page, which can obscure the side of the Banshee Network drop-down menu. See attachment.
Edit, using Firefox again, by the way. Latest version. An older version of Internet Explorer shows the same.

Also, I am not sure if this is supposed to be possible, but I just exceeded the maximum attachment size by three or so kilobytes for that screenshot. Hope the limiter isn't off or something.
