I try not to get too worked up over colors and layout (as you might know, I save that energy for getting worked up over other things...) Smile - but I like it.

I also noticed that there is now a link back to the forums from the PM page. Nice.

Also cool that you can visit the old homepage from the new one. For now.

That's a great feature.

I like the new homepage, it looks pretty and so far seems much easier to use.

Actually, yes, that is a distinct improvement. It regains much of the focus that the old home page had lost, imho. Well done.

My eyes! Oh, my eyes!!! PLEASE STOP!!!

Haha. Just kidding. Big Grin Looks great. I'm glad to see the menu is on the left, not that I mind it being on the right in the forums.

Definitely prefer how it looks to the old one. Think the old one may have had more info on it tho. Didn't find 'Recent discussions' on the new one but I haven't looked properly yet.

One thing I haven't figured out yet is why it's possible to choose "Bootsnall Travel Forums" and "Travel Forums. " Either choice seems to yield exactly the same results, or am I missing something?

Excellent Question! It seems a little redundant.

Also...on the home page, you call these "message boards," yet everywhere else they are called Travel Forums or Travel Community. Message Boards seems a little cold to me, but, either way, consistency would be good.

I like the new look! Very nice, easy to read, sensible layout.
