The forum highlights should be back. Or meaby I don't see them in the front page? They were very useful to have a general view of Ngemu Forums (and to have a fast summary of a NGemu day). The forum news should too (about new events in emulation), I mean as it was with the Bobbi style.

Anyway, some remarks.

-The google ad in the banner (the one currently showing the supercard thing) seems not to have its place there. The ad is too much shown, present and does not, IMHO, reflects what is really NGemu, aka an emulation community. Meaby it can be moved elsewhere? anyway seperated from the general NGemu banner?

-Viewing what the three general panels (popular articles, recent articles and Best of Ngemu) are carrying as informations, I found them too similar.There is too much redundancy. One should meaby be dedicated to the forum highlights, the second to the ngemu news and the third to something else?

-About theses three general panels again, the fact they don't have the same size is not really visually pleasant, and they are moreover showing that some parts of the page are empty, so not efficiently used.

-The links about emulation (Playstation,PS2,etc...) are leading to forum threads? And what about general things about a specific console (Emulators, Downloads, Description?). Meaby there is a mean to improve them making them instead lead to a page displaying a brief history/description about the console and all which is related to it, emulation talking? We are not only a forum, I think.

-I find the footer too big. It have too much importance concerning the general page design. I'm conscient we are now members of a much bigger community and that it should be shown, but meaby it can be shown with a little more discretion?

So that is all I have seen for the moment. More feedback later, when I'll have the time to browse more deeply in the new NGemu style.
