    My tuppence worth. Quite like it (an improvement over the previous version). The fluid layout works really well. However (you all saw that coming), I'd say that the vertical spacing in the messages is slightly too much, IMHO. Good work though!

    I dislike the new layout! We're becoming a dashboard society. We get bigger monitors so we can have a dashboard on every side of the monitor and a very small space to do any work. The spacing is great if you're over 50 and your eyes are shot, but I need to get more done. Put the content back in a smaller space, I don't want to scroll! Hogan

      IMHO It looks like Microsoft Style, Windows 8, isn't it? Well done, looks better, new and stylish! :)

        I'd call it a fail. There is too much whitespace and fewer cues to see how things are separated, 'hot' etc.

            I wouldn't call it a complete fail... but having to scroll for the news pretty much sucks

                    Not seen the news over the past few months? Take a look: http://www.geek.com/articles/geek-pick/microsoft-discontinues-use-of-metro-name-2012083/ No-one is allowed to call it "Metro", it's "Windows 8 Style" now. Best explanation I've seen is that Microsoft failed to do a trademark search and another company with the Metro trademark has forced Microsoft to back-track on the name Ed
