Mm, I agree, I like it below the header.

I don't really like the order. Maybe it's just because I'm reluctant to change, but I think the read/write should be at the front. It is a writing sight, and it being at the end just doesn't make it seem as important as the blogs. Maybe it's just me.

I actually like the new order. It's cool that YWS news has its own category.

Heh, couldn't help myself.

I am sulking right now because I keep clicking the wrong thing, but once I get used to it I'm sure it'll be fine xD

Ooh, smexy! Mr.Knightley likes. I love the news section!

Also, I like the idea of the header above, versus below, now. :P

I don't like the new order. I'm going to be clicking things I don't want to click for a while now, just like Lauren and Ranger... o.O The way it was before was fine for me... And I think that it fits best beneath the header. Still, I'm just someone who doesn't like change very much... I'm going to be sooo confused when I come back on later.

Just as I predicted, I've already been confused when I didn't see Blogs where they usually were. xD But, given a few minutes, I've adjusted just fine.

I'd say keep it as it is. Read/Write does seem in a more noticeably place (even though it is toward the end). I don't know, it just seems to stick out more where it is now than where it used to be.
Got YWS?

I actually lost read/write for a while. Scary stuff.

I love it. I noticed it immediately and laughed at myself when I got reviews instead of blogs. But, I think About is in an excellent place in particular, it focuses better for new members. Resources fits well at the end. My YWS is now centre of my page and I can pick it out quickly. I really like the changes.

I do remember when the bar used to be above the header in the old YWS. It worked, I wouldn't mind seeing it there again if it works better in practical terms although I agree that this way creates a nice barrier.

The new order threw me off too, and I'm still amused at how I don't just read before I click a link.

Below or above the header doesn't really matter to me. As long as I have my buttons, I'm okay with what you do. The buttons' black color may blend in with the ads though, so they would be harder to spot for new members. Maybe. (I've had a long day, so I could be uttering nonsense here.)

But like you said, they're minor changes, and they wouldn't really affect me; so more power to you!

Yes, I suppose that "Read/Write" isn't important enough to deserve a spot in a noticeable place.

Of course not Galerius, which is why it's been moved to the bottom right hand corner of the site rather than smack dab in the center of the screen.

I didn't really care, to be honest, though I noticed right away the difference. The one thing I don't like though and I'm getting this with the site as a whole more and more, is the clutter. It feels like there are too many subject headings and drop-down menus...I liked it when it was simpler. Can we merge some?

Like putting My YWS as a menu option in Community, or Groups/Blogs as menu options in My YWS or Community even. Something?
