Cars are first here, so I put em up top. Also added some new new categories and improved grouping. Thanks to Jimmy and Geokilla for the (needed) prodding!

I moved the mothership 850 forum down a bit just for a change of scenery. Get some fresh blood in. They're no less important than they were a day ago, I'm just mixing it up a bit for some fresh air.

Look for changes in Performance, Detailing, Classifieds, and Referrals positioning when I figure out what to do with them.

So is the new MVS design coming up to the homepage soon?

Don't like it, was not necessary but if you must change for the sake of change.....
remove the silly XC forum that has been closed for 3 years!

Justin: I updated WordPress and ran out of time putting the skin back on it.
JRL: Give me specifics and I can work with them. (Besides XC forum that I will remove.)

Everyone else: feel free to register your thoughts. No opinion is unimportant.

Honestly, I kind of liked it the way it was before. It kinda makes sense to introduce the forum with the "general/specialty" categories, especially with a couple sub-forums relating to the website specifically. Then you get to the "meat" of the website, with the cars, in the middle. Followed by classified and stuff.

I understand how you want the "car" forums to stand out, but I feel as if that is accomplished better through the reorganization of sub-forums that you've already done. Having all that straightforward and clear is the most important thing.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Ed. Here's what I'm thinking.

I'll put the non-car block back at the top, but without Dons and Non-Auto Talk.

I'd like that too, but can you re-order the little menu at the bottom to the way it was before? It was so convenient the way the forums were set up before :(
