Hi,
 
I don't know how anyone else feels but given the comments and criticism of late I would just like to say that the new Home Page layout is just about spot on. It certainly looks like the comments have been well taken notice of.
 
So I hope I'm not the only one to say 'Well done the web page editor' - plaudits all round.
 
How long it will be before  there is need to 'improve' it remains of course to be seen but for now it's looking fine.
 
Thanks - Ramon
 
Many thanks for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.
Kelvin

It looks better but I can't see why we need the " latest posts" twice, practically right next to each other.
 
I know people wanted it back there but come on.

Hi There
The latests posts are on the home page.
When you go to a thread, you can no longer access the home page latest posts without going back but you can still access the latest posts from the left hand pods.
That is why we need both.
regards David

Sorry - just got to disagree - the home page is much too large, and much of its content is available on other pages accessed from the green tab bar at the top of the home page (e.g. Albums, Modelmaking, etc).
 
IMHO, it would be better to keep the relevant material on its page, and (for example) change the tab colour to indicate new content on a page, instead of endless scrolling/searching through material which seems to have been on the home page since inception of the site (I know, it hasn't, it just seems that way!). Why have a method of selecting different pages if you are going to stick it all in the home page anyway?
 
 The individual pages are fine - simple, not cluttered , and easy to access - and the content is great, so lets have a home page with a simple index and current  or vital information.
