it has some "features" that look cool but which are useless like how many times I logged in etc.
with the old style I could see all the important threads on the first view and didn't have to go into detail.... it was nice for an easy and quick check (like at work
)
is it possible to combine these two?? or at least to have the individual chance to change it back??

I would like an option to turn off the "Top Boards" section please.
I don't need or wantBria, Chimera, Ahazi and Eclipse spamming my portal because they can post more.
Thank You
Oh yeah, I would also like an option to turn off "Users Online", pretty please.

that is an opion in your preferences, check the show latest message box
Clarification, at least as far as I've seen.... Snipaho mentioned each forum, whereas the option to show the latest message box only applies to the top forum boards. I most certainly was one who browsed the forums not only by forum title, but also by the most recent message title. I won't repeat what I just wrote in this thread, but I did want to point out the limitation of the "show latest message box."

Please move the subscriptions to the top....
They used to be visible right away after the page loaded, but now i have to scroll down.
this is more annoying than it might seem.
Overall I like this much better. It would be even better if we could reconfigure the design of the page more (as in, decide what sections come first on the page)

if I go click those two little boxes, every single forums lists newest thread...

Dev Tracker and Admin Tracker are on the right side under Announcements.
Love the new layout. There should be an option for people to choose either one and then they can use whichever they like....
I do like the idea someone had also of all the boards for your server (Lowca, Bria, Starsider, etc) listed on the main page for you...Otherwise, keep up the good work guys.

Agree here

I think I like it. My thoughts:
-- Making it optional would be great. It's really just a matter of how it looks, right? Allowing it to be chosen, like one chooses a color skin, would be nice.
-- Allowing us to specify our own immediately visible links from the front page. i.e., I don't really need a link to Bria, Farstar, and Sunrunner. But a link to Kettemoor, Starsider, and Bria would suit me nicely. Is there some way to allow us to select our own "hotlinks", so to speak?
-- I like the quickstats on the side.
-- The inbox on the side is kind of neat. I don't think I mind it being called Notes, but it's a bit confusing for some. It just makes me think of passing notes when I was in school.

I do like it a lot, especially with the shorterned view set in the preferences. I also thought i'd broken something at first hehe.
However, i'd love the ability to close 'tabs' to get more space or even open areas of the forum that i use reguarly. For example, i don't particuarly want to have the Top Boards 'tab' open as i would never use it - Maybe just show it shows Top Boards with a button to expand the menu.
Also, maybe allowing us to alphabetically sort things like the galaxy trade forums, etc...
