I really like the design of the new homepage.
Still I think there are some things which you could improve like:

The "great" logout button is useless - I think most people just stay logged in and if they want to logout they could click a small red button at the very top! change it to JOIN GATHER NOW :D

Ban history - why should everyone see who is actually banned and who is not?

Gather - don't force everyone to tick the box with the rules - just make it once if you are about to join your very first gather!

Where is my gatherstatus thingi???? If I surf on the webpage I still want to notice whats going on in the gather without going to the gather section the whole time... maybe you could play the music no matter on what page the guy is?

Thanks for the feedback mp.

The ban list is there so we can all observe how many times you have been banned. ;)

Yeah I was planning to do this but forgot about it.

I'm making a bar at the bottom that will have it.

nice jerky!
Also please

If i hide the informations at the Gather join section i cannot show them again I need to reload the page. :S :S

translation missing: en.gathers_join

I really miss some kind of little box with the latest comments and latest active forum topics ... <3 !

Eistee that's coming!

im not staying logged in once i closed the page. cookies enabled.

Great <33 ^^ !

frG Commenting 29/Jan/10 18:59 Harassing an admin. i find this ban quite funny ; p but i agree with mp about bans section, it's silly and not neccesary. also it would be nice to have this thingy like when i click on ensl logo i get back to the main site instead of trying to click that small tiny "news" button, you could replace "news" key with logout key and make it how many ppl are the in the gather atm and info about recent comments in threads or players profile like in the old site, i really liked that.
ALSO DANNY SEE FOR YOURSELF HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN BANNED FOR BEING AFK, DONT TELL ME I'M ALWAYS AFK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FATTIE! no bad feelings here just so ya know!

That's the best idea ever Comrad MP, I support you!

What's that Patrick, you want to join the labor camp in ns_mineshaft?

Oh and i am the onlyone getting just a white page after posting in the forums? .. that is a bit annoying you know!

STASI HAVE GOT TO ME, SAVE YOURSELVES!

The block is not closed at the bottom of this page

Also Gather > Instructions points to http://www.ensl.org/articles/125 ; is it intended ?

Also some other blocks are not closed, or we can't see it because of the bottom gather bar. Example : http://www.ensl.org/articles same for the movie page

Also needs a link on the main logo to go back to the home page

That's all so far good sir ;)
