Well, here it goes. To be honest, I don't love this new look Bhuz, but I recognise I have no choice in the matter, and I know lots of other people will like the additional functionalities.

What I do like: The artwork is pretty.

What I don't like: The stars twinkling across the artwork *all* the time. I think they look lovely when you first arrive at the forum, but the constant movement after you've been here a while feels very busy and stressful to me. I would like it best if there was a way that you could see the pretty stars when you arrive, and have them settle and stop.

The ad layout in conjunction with the new banner. Again, it looks busy to me. I personally would rather see the ads go all the way to the top than sit under the banner. It may be an artefact of the banner colour and texture, which is pale but not without detail, and whatever block of bright colour/movement somebody's booked at the top of the ad column.

The typeface. To be honest, it seems to me to fight with the forum typeface. You have a "soft" homespun handmade look with a set of standard forum boxes and faces stuck below and to me, aesthetically, they fight. Sorry.

What I'm not sure about yet: Everything else. The profile setup seems to be good, though there are two pointers I notice - gender seems to redefault to male, and also? Cabaret is spelt cabaret, not caberet. It would be awesome if that could be fixed.
