What about what I reported? An internal function of the forums is messed up because of this external page.

Also, if a new style is created, would the old one would stay? Maybe it's just me, but I like the current look of the forums better than I can envision that as a style, and I even preferred the old main page to this new one.

Edit: As for the three columns I think the center one should show Emulation News Submissions. It's the main feature of the site, afterall. Simply set it up to draw the latest so many number of posts from the Emulation News Submissions forum as the old page did.

As for the other two columns, one can show featured articles (left), and another can show the latest so many posts of the entire forum, polls, and other random stuff (right).

In other words, keep it similar to how it was. You may have updated the software for better control and ease of use, but the layout of the information was good and working as it was, so I'd stick close to it. For an emulation homepage to be reduced to a simple forum portal showing the latest random posts is a travesty. It needs it's news, and it needs it's various console specific sections that had their downloads.
