Made a few changes to the header tonight. First, the logout link has been moved to the top. You should spy it pretty quickly since it's next to the Notifications link.

Second, you'll see that the little block that tells you how many points and reviews you have has morphed into two images. This way, they're a little more noticeable and a bit more fetching. If you have fewer than 1,000 points or fewer than 10 reviews, the two image blocks will say "X Points" or "X Reviews." That way, newer members should be able to catch on to what they stand for.

Third, you'll notice a little question mark in the header now. That links to the 'Help' page, which is a list of the 12 most common questions on YWS. Hopefully it'll prove to be of great aid to many people.

Thanks Nate!

My favorite thing is the location of the new logout button.

Heh. I wondered how long it'd take me to mess this up. I accidentally clicked "Logout" when going for my notifications (I tend to click more to the right of notifications). Mildly problematic, as that wiped them out and I hadn't checked in a few hours. But no real big.

I like the changes, though. Despite how much easier it is to make the mistake I did above, lol Everything's a bit more noticeable, but easier to skim at the same time? Odd to describe. And I do like how I won't logout in Chat. It'll just take a bit to not hit logout when I check my notifications, lol

Nifty, I've nearly done the same thing as Rosey a few times though, logging out instead of checking notifications.

One question, are they meant to be aligned on the same side of the page? When I was at home on firefox both blocks were on the left of my screen, but here at uni I'm on IE and the points are on the left, reviews on the right. I'm not sure you've shifted things around since I was at home, or if I should really be posting this in bugs
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)

Exactly what I was aiming for, so I'm glad you said this :)

Nope, and thanks for pointing that out. It should look like how it does in Firefox, so I'll go ahead and fix the IE formatting soon.
