So we're working on a temporary but new forums landing page - the thread and mocks can be found here. I'm really excited as we tackle the forums, and have another thread asking for feedback on what you like/don't like about forums, so please post here smile
Its going to be a long road, but I know the journey will make it worth while - we'll have improved forums smile I'm also working on new forums categories (that will also be mirrored to guilds), and announced 3 new guild categories this week: LGBT, Religion & Morality and Sports. So if you own/captain/VC a guild that falls into one of those categories, you can change your category by going into moderator panel-->edit guild settings. We'll be announcing more as we move through the re-categorization process - and I even have a feedback thread for that here. its been a busy, busy week!
For those living under a rock, we also launched the new navigation. I can't believe that it has over 315 pages of feedback (that's 4700+ posts) in less than an hour! My colleague, gracewar7, did an amazing job wrangling this project and is pouring through the comments, I'm sure smile
Well, that's it for now. Stay tuned for more forums stuff - and don't get swine flu talk2hand
I love the new navigation unlike most forumers. stare
I can't wait for the forum landing page.

@Melaugh: Just because you like it doesn't mean everybody should like it as well.
I like the menu style but would like to customize the color.

Great job~! I like the new navbar; it seems to load SO MUCH FASTER on my computer than the previous one. eek Hooray for faster loading~!
Thanks for letting us preview things and add feedback before big changes are made; I know I can't be the only Gaian who's grateful to have a voice in some of these changes.
Your team certainly has been busy this summer; I hope Craig bought you all some ice cream or at least a Midsummer Swirl. blaugh Keep up the fantastic work~!

⟣˳Thanks for letting us know! I just finish posting in one or two of them. With the new toolbar I've been avoiding the SF like the plaque talk2hand
I like the new toolbar. The color bothered me at first, but now I'm used to it whee

LOL with the Swine Flu. When nothing can move economy, launch a disease. xd
Anyway, for the only exception of the My Post/Trade/My Clan I actually enjoy this new navigation. Feels more Gaian, if you let me say.
PS: ADD A zOMG! COMMUNITY subFORUM! scream
