Much improved.
Def a nice upgrade over the 1998 style.
I've been a web developer since 1995. I don't get the new layout. At the end of the day, you have articles and opinion pieces. Why does the home page have so many different sections and divisions? It's just as disjointed as the other layout, only with muted colors.
Love my fellow software engineers, but Erik should have pushed back on these design decisions.
I don't like serif fonts either.
I love it! Much better style than the last website. Good work!
I might have to suggest that if you are going to update the website, you should change the message board/forums as well so that they have a consistent theme. Since the MBs still look a bit old and the home page is fresh. Good stuff though!

I like it, but would prefer if the sections were in multiple columns. I don't like to scroll.
Much improved, I hope the message board still keeps its old haggard look of a digital legal pad.

new frontpage looks great
missing the yellow a bit tho
Maybe highlight the forum thread titles in yellow like the old site?
I liked the old page; somehow my eyes always knew what to pick up. Everything looks the same on this one. Could use the MS Paint Logo instead of LETSRUN.com at minimum.
I NEVER give kudos when they are not warranted, so know that I mean this -- very nice job! I like it a lot.

Give me a week & I'll warm up to it, but at first glance not digging it.
Except you didn’t really change anything
Will you be upgrading the mods?

This
Looks good. A bit broken on mobile, but overall an improvement I think. I was totally expecting this thread to be announcing the Rush black page.

lol
With ad block on, the home page looks like udder crap. Barely anything shows until you are almost "below the fold"
This is in Chrome on Mac..Can anyone reproduce this?
I miss the yellow around the message board posts, but overall it is really nice to look at.
I have a hard time noticing what is new content though. It used to be that your latest stories would appear near the top. It doesn't seem like that is the case now. This takes A LOT more scrolling to find something new in a topic category.
For a second, I though I am on a different website

I’m investigating an issue causing some bugginess on mobile articles. Hope to patch soon.
Thanks everyone else for feedback.
