Autopia New Homepage Threads TINY Section

Ok am I the only one who is not digging the layout of the new site with all of the "recent threads" stuck way over on the side in a VERY small column?

I mean I know you want to advertise but every other forum I go to puts the ads on the side where you have the forum threads... Just wondering.

I have to agree on that one and I believe other people have also stated that they miss the old layout of the recent threads. It really should be the largest section on the front page, not the adds.

Instead of having autopia.org in your favorites, change the link to http://www.autopia.org/forum/search.php?do=getnew to bring you to the posts since your last visit.

Best way to navigate a forum, IMO.

Excellent idea! It appears Autopia has taken a turn, be it good or bad...........Its changed.
I actually find myself here, less and less........Im not sure if thats due to time constraints or just a general lack of 'warm and fuzziness'.......

Same here. I think it is the latter. First, all the adds just seem to have taken away the warm fuzzy feelings. Second, the site is no longer navigation friendly. Something else too, but I can't quite put my finger on it, but the personal touch seems to be gone. Now it feels very impersonal and mechanical. My number of posts have increased dramatically on other forums. I miss the old Autopia.
