Obviously this is new as I didn't know it yesterday (9-27-04 was yesterday), but I noticed that some of the sections were moved around, and a walkaround link (which I think is nice). So, and maybe this should be put into a survey, but what are your views? Did you even notice it? I personally didn't really notice it until I clicked on the lower left link (before, the link for the forums) and I came to the walkaround page...Backup...oh there is something different here. Oh ok. That was my process, what was yours?

I already posted this in the staff support and I think the change is very good. All the important features of the site like: News, Reviews, resources are now immediately in focus for everybody who visits the site. Also even in 1024 by 768 resolution you don`t need to scroll down anymore for the latest posts button on the homepage.
Definately a good change all the important elements in reach in one screen.
My 2 Euro cents

I noticed the frames were all mixed up, put it down to maximizing IE instead of the usual window I run it in...
then I thought it was just the drugs I had to take after seeing steeldog51's SS bust... :-) LOL
nice to have a change every now and again...

I don't mind the changes.
It'll take a while to get out of old habits, but the new layout is no problem and soon it'll become second nature....unless just as it's beginning to feel comfortable more changes are made...lol.

After a few days of getting used to the new layout I've not found any problems.
However I do prefer the community panel down and the people on-line panel at the top. But its only a minor thing.

When I log into armorama, typically I visit "latest posts" first. I get there by clicking on the "latest posts" link that was displayed with the most recent 5 or 6 topics. So when I logged in and kept getting photo's I was a bit confused.
I have to say that I like the new layout better though. It will just take some getting used to.
