I second the motion to dump the blogs.

Crazy. Just hit refresh and got a hell of fright.

Good work though... totally unexpected but looks nice! Good to have the old heads back too.

I'm not too crazy about having to scroll down now, everything used to pretty much fit nicely on one screen.

Same 'complaint' here.

Thanks for all the comments, and compared to previous front page changes they've been very positive.

Of course, it is still in flux but the new page will allow us to integrate better with our forum software, reusing buttons, etc.

There are more latest posts being displayed, 20 as opposed to 15, which explains (some of) the scrolling down.

However, I've turned down the cellpadding so you should now see more at the top of the page.

I've reduced the username size too... Hope this helps.

/me focussed on the negative and ignored the positive. I like the look and layout of it - it's very professional looking. I just don't like the size of the icons - and if they were reduced a bit then there'd be no scrolling to see the latest posts. Couldn't give a monkey's about the blogs

hehe... In my Firefox Tab the title of the front page looks like it says Ireland's Largest Bull

Down with this sorta thing. Too ugly vB imo.

The old, old www.boards.ie/new from last year was soo much better. What ever happened to that one?

Snaga

three thumbs up!

Mixie

Ooh, fixed already, that was quick

Vokes

Yeah, with the name fixed, its perfect now.

simu

Very pretty! Well done!

BlitzKrieg

StickyMcGinty

I like it I must say Its more friendly and fun than the other which is what the community is all about really. The icons above the user name are a bit too big though.

Good to see the old heads back as goodshape said!

Looks good, its fine on my 20" imac, but scrolling on my 17" monitor.

At least there are no hip street skateboards this time.

joe.

Took me a couple minutes to adjust but I'm liking it.

Did you apply for an EU training grant so you can train your users up on the new systems?

halkar

SouperComputer

Liking the new look.

I never use the front page, but I do like it. Looks less cluttered than the old one.

As for scrolling? Who cares? Get a mousewheel you moaners!

Cloud, is that a customised template or coded from scratch? Very well integrated with the vB3 template.

kenmc

The drop down categories get hidden behind the ads. Didn't used happen. Please fix this.

I'm using a vBulletin 3.0.0 RC3 stylesheet, hence the matchy-matchy!
