Some critiques:

Why the “popular words” at the top of the forum page sidebar? That just takes up space. Also, some of the words disappear due to the large font and insufficient size allocation for the “popular words” box.

== So does the Browse by Forum. It would seem better to put the selected sidebar groups at the top.

== I hate having to scroll halfway down the page just to see the ‘breaking news’ headlines in the sidebar. That sort of defeats the purpose of having ‘breaking news’ as a sidebar item.

Why the huge font change for the sidebar? My eyesight isn’t the best, but the huge fonts consume too much space, considering the sidebars are just headlines. Is there a way to adjust the fonts just in the sidebar without having to re-adjust the fonts (via browser) for the whole page?

Buttons? I don’t see the need for them. I don’t change my viewing format from one to the other. Were those not originally set in the user preferences?

I do like that allot of the ‘clutter’ at the top of the forum page has been cleared out. Instead of sticking most of it at the top of the sidebar, perhaps place it at the bottom of the sidebar or bottom of the page.

Click on "more", upper right side of window, and then subscriptions.

You can decide which category comes up first and on down the line.

This Link will take you to it for now.
