You wanted my feedback so here it is.

I don't like the feel of the site. It's like you've tried to combine everthing into the one area but now I can't find the things I used to use easily.

Like trying to find a list of the forums, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I liked the old style much more than the new style.

You do get used to it, although I find the tags box annoying :)

I agree, it looks like the site has been designed by somebody who has a screen definition of 14 million by 10 milllion. I run a reasonalbe resolution and still find it cluttered. personally I would like to be able to remove the side boxes and improve space for the meat of the site.

Kind Regards

Tom,

I've got a comp for a new 2-column homepage and community page design that I will post today. This should give the site a less-cluttered look and help with navigation. I'm looking forward to getting feedback on it this week, so we can make the changes next week.
