>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
http://www.designyourway.net/blog/inspiration/the-importance-of-white-space-in-web-design-with-examples/. Michel, please think about a major redesign. Don't think like a programmer. Think like a designer. If you can't do that, find one.
I think we can agree now that with the upcoming version that most of that has been resolved. As far as the main page, lots of things have been removed. But, for a while, there will be a section to let members know about the new version and some of its new options. After that, it will be removed making it very simple.
