One thing is for sure. the site loads much faster then before. New layout is nice and smooth. For a moment i thought i had the wrong website =P
Nice work.
One thing ive noticed is that the ads are missing (not exactly a complaint just an observation lol) from any but the main page. Not sure if they were there before to be honest since i was just used to them, though the new layout seems to 'highlight' (for lack of a better word) the empty space on the right side of the screen.
I might be insane and just not have noticed it always being like this. Figured i should mention it since its a feedback section and all.
