Anybody noticed the changes to the front page (might have already been there, but I so rarely take a look at it that I may have missed it when it changed).

Ok I think someone fixed the post button on top...NOW IT WORKS. Thank YOU!!!!!!!

Here is a post of mine of my opinion of the new top bars:
»What's going on????

The New design sucks, imo. I frequently use the buttons taken off the top bar more than the ones that stayed. This should be a user controlled part of the site, we should not have that part of the layout chosen for us. Also, the news is already on the side, why add more junk to the top of the page? I personally could care less about the "news" on this site, so I happily ignore the left column, however, it's kinda hard to ignore the news at the top. It has annoyed me ever since the first time I saw it. Please, either go back to the old style, or at least allow the user to control some aspects of it.

I may have to suggest a feature to allow us to vote down posts strictly to vote down the changes to the top toolbar; it has totally ruined my experience in navigating this site.

Ok, who let the kiddies take control of DSLR/BBR and muck up the upper toolbar?

I agree with Wiz, I want the ALL FORUMS button back in the upper toolbar. If I want DSLR/BBR news, I'll goto the homepage.

Or at least provide users with the ability to customize the upper DSLR/BBR toolbar to our own liking.

"well how about the 'fav forums' defaults to 'all forums' if you dont use fav forums." justin

Can't you just use the images in there? I used both the favorite forums, and the all forums links. If you have done anything you have removed useful quick links. Take out our names on the bar, just put back all the links please. I agree with Frosty, and if you going to do this, please let us customize it since you basically stripped it clean of many useful quick links.

Also the news at the top just seems very annoying.

I won't say that anything sucks, as I think that that is an insult to Justin who has over all done a terrific job trying to please all. I will say that I really don't like the "ETC" button, although it is usable. It merely adds to what needs to be done now. I too used those buttons that were all up there before and are now only found via "ETC". Do I like it/ No. I don't like it at all and would rather see the "Posts" removed and the bar restored to the way it was. But, do I think it sucks? hardly. I just dislike it intensely as it is.

To reduce the clutter up top if that was the problem or intent, I would sooner see the news items removed. Actually, in trying to click on "posts" or the lovely "etc." it's all too easy to hit the news instead. That space should be left empty, IMHO.

All of a sudden once I look at a forum I have to reload the site or press the back button to get out of the forum. All the links for favorite forums, all forums, posts, and everything else is gone. I can't see any of the things other people are seeing?

What happened?

Me too, I use both extensively, I start out my my Fav forums, then after looking at them, I usually click on all forums to look at things like the Security forum, etc.

The top bar may even go away completely, if I straighten out navigation to instant messages and forums and posts properly. I think its a waste of space.

Wow look at all the little angry andrews.. its been a while since I stuck a stick in the nest and twisted it about.

Just for the 5% who are in such a state about such trivial things, I'm leaving things exactly as they are for a while, and going back to more important work. There are more than enough normal answers/info in this thread, to not fly off the handle in a new post.

Then when this loud minority is bored with complaining about the way their wrist movements have had to change, I might revisit navigation. Or not. Depends how pissy the posts are by then

I like the changes (personally) - makes it a bit easier to navigate through the site (and if I want to view all forums, it is usually only a click away in any given page) - and as for the news at the top of the page, I like it there now I don't have to go looking for it in a forum thread or the frontpage.

Good Job, thanks for the additions!
