Sorry, as I know someone put effort into the redesign, but I don't really care for the change. To me it looks to much like a lot of other sites now, and has lost it's unique look and feel. But, like most things in life, you can get use to it in time (I guess).
My main complaint or issue with the change is that we users had no warning of the change...I almost exited the site thinking I had opened up the wrong site...
Just my two cents.................
