New Home Page: As you can obviously see the Home page has been redesigned. It's wider and yes I know, if you've got a 15 inch wide monitor the right side is cut off but c'mon now it's 2008, what are you doing with a 15 inch monitor! I've spent a lot of time on a new top and bottom horizontal menu system which allows people to immediately view and access specific pages of the web site as well as go directly to their favorite forums. Plus there is the box on the right with a "Live Feed" of the most recent six posts from the Forums. The rest of the pages are the original narrow design, they work well once you are into the site so I've no plans to change them.
