Wow haven't been by in a while, raising 3 teen age grandkids takes time for us oldtimers. Really nice makeover easier to read. Need to start spending time navigating but look like it will be easier
I have finally finished evaluating the available calendars and I think I've settled on one. I hope to get it installed in the next few days.How about a calendar were we can post upcoming get togethers, shows, demos, etc. ?

So you'd recommend a layout like we used to have. All text except for one featured photo?Jeff being you are asking yes way too many photos. The featured Photo was always the main attraction on the home page and was a big deal to make it there and it meant something. Now it is the smallest photo there and gets drowned out by the large photos on the left that are to me distracting. Why do we need the members photos on the front page if you are going to have random photos that I assume will roll or change somehow make them smaller. You asked and that is just one opinion. Make the center portion larger and take space away from the left side.
I like the 5 recent member photos on the left , but perhaps just a slightly larger featured photo in the center , if you plan on having a featured photo . However , I have no problem with it the way you have it now . I think you are correct - people like photos , judging by the `it didn`t happen if there isn`t a photo`comments , and the admonishments to new members to post photos of their work .
The wide variation in photo quality might be a concern in deciding what gets shown on the front page . I seldom am happy with my photography , so my pictures usually won`t be posted . Please forgive me for exercising a small degree of editorial control on the front page by doing that .

There isn't a "main photo". What do you mean?I like the layout OK but was wondering if:
1. the sidebar photos could be reduced by about 25%.
2. Could the Front Page Photo be about 25% larger,
3. and the "Member Photos" be shrunk a tad.
This would give more prominence to the main photo; Other recent photos would be seen, and last, I like the random old photos popping up so that we get to see pens of yesteryear.

Jeff,
I'm in favor of eliminating the lh column of photos and replacing them with a second column of forum postings. One column of "What's New " my first view on the forum. Second column could be what you feel is required. RH column could be possibly reduced in width.
Asking for thoughts doesn't always give you preferred layouts. You can never satisfy everyone, it's the old 5% rule.
First column would be: Home - What's New.What would you like to see in a "second column of forum postings"? Today the proposed page has:
Center column tabbed section: New Posts, Recent Threads, New For Sale Posts
Right Column: New posts from the vendor forum
Thanks
