              ... me too Agree on this. :thumbsup: It was very nice. Atleast, we were able to see Articles, Blogs and Tips separately. Now, we may miss new Article, Blog and/or Tips in the long run. What the hell is going on? I like the previous tab structure.

                It was great - if you had a wide screen - if everyone clicked all tabs instead of just scanning the top tab and leaving - if we promised never to add another tab (oops, too late) We upgraded Alternate Tips to be their own thing which meant a new tab appeared. As soon as this happened things no longer fit. We're also adding a new tab and this would have simply made the problem worse. Further: who clicks the other tabs? And more importantly: why should someone who has posted a technical blog, or a tip, or an alternate tip, etc, not have the same exposure as an article author? They are all information, albeit it in different forms, lengths, and from different sources, but they are all worthy of being presented front and centre to reward those who took the time to post.

                  Tips and blogs are usually easier to write, so eventually they'll out-number articles. When this happens, the front page will end up having 2 or fewer articles at most times. Not good at all I'd think. At least consider having one tab for articles only, and one tab for everything (articles + tips + blogs).

                        I just checked the front page. Every single entry is a blog. This is really bad news for article authors. New articles will now get a lot smaller period of time when they are on the front page. This will mean reduced exposure and less peer feedback. Not sure that's a good thing. The core of this website is the article content. Blogs and tips are good but should always be extras that complement the articles, they should not directly affect the effectiveness/visibility of the primary content.

                          This is because a single member just added their feed and their blogs were consumed. For the most part blogs are far less frequent than articles. Technical Blogs are articles and are subject to the same level of quality control as articles. Just because an author decides to publish on our site by using our blog feed system doesn't mean they should be treated as second class citizens. If you see technical blog articles that are inappropriate then report to ensure we continue to improve the level of quality.

                            Agree. The layout can be simplified but adding more levels, tabs, etc. would be evil. Please, don't add extra controls to the site, especially of the click-only types. Just my opinion based on my own taste and convenience. Thank you, --SA

                              Couldn't you have the tabs in multiple rows? That wouldn't take up too much more vertical screen real-estate.

                              while (e) { Coyote(); }

                                Of course it was nicer - that's why it was changed. CP is supposed to be a challenge.
