>>Feng Shui tells us to declutter and keep things clean. I've long thought the UI here on the Universal Thread was way too cluttered. I've expressed that to Michel who said something about needing all this information. Well, I'm coming back to how poor the design is, especially the home page. If I was looking for a new support forum today and hit the UT home page, I'd move along to somewhere else. Whitespace is important. See here

I think Craig means the homepage (which I also think is far, far too cluttered). The forum is good.
