Any new design takes a few days to get used to. I personally like the new design. I find the page listing all the forums to be clearer; the subforums are more clearly shown. The previous design ran together a little too much. I can see ways that this new design will encourage more messages into blogs and such, and probably has more options for advertising. But I did not realize that:

- each user has a blog? is that new? can someone discuss this? presumably, indexed in google too?

- what are Articles? those are separate from Forum posts? also indexed in google? Can anyone post an Article? What are the rules - do you have to be an expert on something - is it factual only, with no 'opinions' (hope so)

- what else is new? mainly, how can i sell more domains!
