This is the biggest problem. It doesn't logically flow anymore. The previous design was more intuitive and user friendly.

I think it was handy how the old design had just about every link in the site accessible via the drop down menus in the header. However, the down side of this is that it made the pages extremely "heavy." Part of the reason the old RIA was so slow. I'm very hopeful that once the redesign gets tuned, it's going to be screamingly fast. As far as navigation, the most important links: recent reviews, new stuff, profile page, top reviewers, are all available from every page via the "shortcuts" box.

Hard to say just yet. One thing I don't like is that I can't tell if I've got any new messages without first going to my user page. That's inconvenient compared to the old system.

I'm lost. WTF happened here?

Right now I am not liking the navigation, but I admit that this often happens when familiar websites are redesigned. Imagine waking up in your bedroom, and all of the rooms in your house were still there, but redesigned and in different places. It would be pretty strange for awhile.

okay so far. maybe I will give a higher points when I get used to it. I was surprised when I got on RATEITALL and found it was redesigned. I will get used to it. As for now I am learning my way around like I am new here>LOL!
