Something that struck me as odd... Round border for the bottom of the search box but not the categories below it?

I still keep thinking that there's images missing there. I recognize the fading of the sidebar but it still seems kinda iffy.

New layout is a huge improvement over the last one, but theres a few small things with it that are a bit odd.

Top stats no longer show the numbers, not really anything major was just interesting to see them, maybe something on the right side of the box. Mod description box is too small under FireFox 2.0.0.11, but fine under IE7 http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/130/examplecs8.jpg , for archive files under the mod edit page it's always bugged me how it has basically the same header twice instead of listing the column titles in the "main" one and just scrolling all of the actual archived files. Also, I deleted all of pre-SSPVP2's archived files but they seem to have appeared again ( http://www.wowinterface.com/download....html#archives ) not sure if thats related to the upgrade or not.

It would be really really really nice to have comments back in the main page, even if it's under a group that can be collapsed, it's a bit annoying having to switch tabs to see comments.

nice layout. I will post more as i come across them (if i come across them).

I think the symbols for the boxes on the right are reversed. Personally i think it should be - when it is open to show that it can be closed and + to open it.

Actually, it would be nice if change log was listed on the main addon page as well given you're likely going to check it every time you visit the page beyond the initial download.

Within an addons page for the tabs at the top, it would be nice for "Archived Files" & "Comments" to have a (#) at the end...more so for comments to see if there is a reason to look there.

It lists everything on the same page if noscript is enabled. I'll look into making an alternative layout selection though. Will be ahwile though.

First and foremost, grats on the new layout, a seemingly flawless server move, and the tightened file security!! Not to mention that I love it when a popular site takes the time to give everything a fresh new look every year.... kudos

On the Community page, the right side column does not float all the way up to the top. Or is the new posts box supposed to float all the way across but isn't? Hard to tell lol.

I wanted to check in IE to see if it looked the same there, and much to my surprise when i typed in the address it took me right to the Find page instead of the Community page. Does that have something to do with the order that the tabs appear? Kind of threw me off not seeing the Community page there to greet me when I went to the site (I've never been to WI in IE... I only use FF).

Will you ever be adding a collapse feature to the other news posts on the Community page? Right now it collapses all of them in one shot... I would love to be able to collapse all news posts accept the most recent two.

Once again... Kudos!

Your blocking the 300x250 ad that is there. It uses an iframe so that users that do choose to see ads it doesnt delay the loading of the site for the java.

If your not logged in default is find tab.

Not sure I understand... if I am a premium member, should the adds not be blocked? Now I'm very confused! lol

Looks good. Biggest thing is the visible search bar, been needing that for a LOOOOONG time.

Just in case you missed this, Dolby.

Love the new layout

It's great but I can't edit the title of a post.

I didn't word it right and now people might skip reading it because of that. My post is here:

I wanted it to read, "Lightheaded directional arrow now a square cloud?"
