You already know I like it. 8-)
One thing I noticed is that the "Support Area" image doesn't links to the support area. It happens to me frequently that I need to check the home page and then I want to get back to the support area, but I'm already logged.
I can use the Messages Area link from the left menu, but this image could have its link as the other circles does, don't you think?
Definitively, the new home page is a LOT faster, not only because is lighter, but also because somehow it is more "cacheable" by the browser.
Great work!
