In case you haven't noticed, there has happened quite a lot on the site.

The left menu is gone, simply because we wanted to be able to utilize as much width as possible to actual content. The things that were in that menu are all relocated upwards on the site.

Also, the top menu is completely reorganized and there are more items to be put in there very shortly.

There has been numerous bugfixes and optimizations, but the biggest one is that the forum should now be running at full speed. It wasn't doing so before due to some unnecessary complex plugins I had created, but that's all sorted now.

Do not miss clicking your nickname up to the right when you are logged in, since you'll have the chance to tweak some settings of the site there.

If you find any peculiarities, don't hesitate to send us a comment via the forum or on IRC and we'll take a look at it.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that if you experience any weirdness with the layout, try to refresh the page, clear the cache or similar measures before yelling about it. :) Ctrl-F5 is a good friend in Windows, for instance. ;)

I really love the redesigned page. The "Next show" thingy fits perfectly into the Sputnik pic and the voting system moved to the top where its still unassuming doing its important work.

Good work Ziphoid and Staff! :)

yes, losing that menu on the left has improved the flow of the site a lot.

Makes the forum browsing experience much easier.

And make the site look slicker, too.

Hi hi! :)

Dunno if this is the right place to ask about, but I just shoot.
It's about the "Member label" everyone gets/has. I.e. John is "SceneSat Staff", I'm a "Junior Member", Fee1 already is a "Member" and so on...

Is there a list were someone can see all this "ranks" or is it -well- more of a suprise? (Like in most forums) :)

Cheerz,
Sven

This is not really what we have put our efforts into but apart from the obvious SceneSat Staff title, these are the default three different titles and the amount of posts needed to get there:

Junior Member 0 posts
Member 30 posts
Senior Member 100 posts

*hehe* Isn't spamming in your nature? ;)

Well, tbh, it's mostly a miss that these levels are still there, since it's a default feature of vBulletin. I don't really see the point of having such a label, since you can see how many posts people have made anyhoo, but now they're there so I guess we'll leave them be.
