First thought: "what did i break Now!?"
Second thought: "Couldn't they warn before they do something like this?"
Third thought: "Its kinda cool! Where can i customise my page?"
Fourth thought: "Where is the Dev-Tracker?"
Synapsis: I like it, but i would like to see an option to select which profession, trade and galaxy boards i see on the main page 
P.S.: Yay, the tracker is back

Dev Tracker is showing up in Giant Red Letters at the top of Wanderhomes Galaxy trade forum
Otherwise I like it

This part seems a bit rendundant, as the buttons on top are more accesible.

I LOVE IT! I hated the old setup, too much scrolling when I was at 1024x768 desktop at work. This is a GOOD change for me, though as with anything, people like to be given a choice. Perhaps this setup can be made choosable like a skin. Anyways, I love it and i'll keep it!

I think all my book mark should be on top. it's a pain to scroll down for them.

Not my favorite to be honest. But I was curious..where it says notes..shouldnt that be Inbox or something like that?
The users online...that is a bit much. Not like we can see them all anyway. Can we hide things?

I like it. Some suggestions:
- Bookmarks on the right-hand side,above or belowthe quick stats - bookmarks are those kind of threads I am interested in most when coming back to the board.
- Any chance todefine my own favourite boards within each category? So I could have in Galaxy TradeFarStar-Trade included, because that's where I'm playing. I'm not so interested in other Galaxies. Also I don't understand why the chef board is shown at the front page with very few entries, but jedi is not. What is the key for having specific boards on the front page?
- Don't need the top boards, as it's most of the time Galaxy-specific. Only players in these Galaxies would be interested anyway.

I dont praticulerly like the way it's currently set up, But if we were able to modify the contents of the main catigorys on the main page to those the individual user wants i will agree that its a good change.

OK i noticed something i dont know if its a bug in the linking/coding or if its supposed to be like this. But in the Notes section it lists like the top 10 most recently received notes....but when you click on the topic in the notes section it brings you to ALL of your notes.....shouldnt it bring you directly to the topic you clicked on?????

this layout is a bit on the confusing side.
Things I hate about this layout.
- No Dev Tracker on the main page ( I see it is now added in REALLY BIG letters. Stil the positioning isnt very friendly)
- looks cluttered
- No last new post titile
- Notes Section (PM Mail Box) I dont want the message headers on the front page. Links to Inbox (with unread total) Out box and folders would be fine)
- I dont care what the "top boards" are, it adds too mych clutter.
Things i like about the new layout
- buddy List on Main Page
- Quick Stats
Personally I thing that column on the right would be nicer on the left hand side. The block for Quick Stats shoudl be the top. Then announcements, polls, PMs, friends list and the online list.
On the main column, my stickied forums shoud be on top, a seperator, then the rest of the forums listed below, cut the top boards block, and then book marks and subscriptions.
if you have the ability like most portal software to have 3 columns, then put the bookmarks and subscriptions on the right column.
