I don't frequent the Raypeatforum that often anymore. I hang out more on peatarian.com. I notice the new design. I find it less user friendly than the one before. I have a few thoughts:
1) I think the font is different. It's more difficult to read. I preferred the one before. Was it Verdana?
2) The color washouts in the boxes don't add anything (from dark blue to white blue). I find them rather distracting.
3) I used to be able to go through the most recent topics to the oldest ones on the portal page. Now, I count eight topics and the system doesn't let me explore topics older then those. I miss that. I used to visit the forum every three days or so and check out the topics that have been added since than.
4) This last point hasn't changed since the update. I think that the most relevant box of all the boxes on the portal is the one labeled RECENT. I think it should be on top and the box WELCOME MESSAGE second to make it for regular users more appealing who are interested in the more dynamic content.
