A lot has been changed and so now I need to now if everyone likes the changes.

Some of these, I think, everyone will like such as the spell checker and the soon to come favorites list (sort of a bookmarks folder for your favorite authors and topics). Others, such as the VIP ranking, everyone may not like.

The biggest thing, though, is the organizational change. This was done as the page loads faster and so as to direct more attention to the literary forums.

So do you like the new changes?

The organization is much better.

All the other stuff I could kind of care less about, but, yeah, I don't mind 'em.

The new organization is really cool but one thing, you know on the top of the page it says "The Young Writers Society Forum Index" and "Rules Information and Official Polls"? well I think you should change "The Young Writers Society Forum Index" to "Lounge, etc." because its not the forum index anymore, its seperated. You know what I mean? but thats it :D

It looks weird on Firefox, as if the forums are posted lower than they should be. Very confusing, if you know what I mean.

What do ya mean? I'm using Firefox and notice nothing different, and also nothing changed in page layout. All that changed was splitting the forum index up into three different indexes.

The pages are all right, but when you go to a main forum page, they're lower than they should be. It's rather hard to explain.

Say this is the menu.

It just looks really weird.

Can you give me a snapshot of what you're talking about?

To do that, go the screen you are talking and hold down shift + prt sc. Then go to MS Paint, and click ctrl-v to paste the snapshot. Save it as a .bmp then send it to me at webmaster@youngwriterrsociety.com.

But nothing should be different than before in terms of how everything is laid out; just organized.

Well, the new updates and changes aren't really bad, its way less cluttered, but now its harder to find things, and can't you make it so that every time you click the logo in the top corner, it goes back to the old thing (with all of the forums), isntead of going only to the Lounge, etc. selection. It wouldn't really make a lot of difference, but it would be neater.

But the new changes are cool. I like them. Not really different than the other ones.

I'm having a hard time sending it to you via email, but I'll put the picture on the web:

This is what it looks like on IE and Firefox at my house. This is the user group page, which looks very very weird, but the other ones are misaligned too. Also, note that it's only for forum index pages.

That is very strange. Is anybody else having the same problem?

I'll look into it and see what the cause of it may be; changing the width of the tables may do the trick.

Yeah, I've been seeing that, too. It's better on the Literary Forums and Lounge, etc., but it's really obvious on the Usergroup section.
