I will let the tech team know so it can be fixed. Also, when I look at the recalls it seems to be populated for me. Can you check again?

Thanks!

Here... I will give you an EXACT comparison. Same page on both. Still same result

Looking at the components, the space is really the same, just the ad and search bar are in a different position down from the menu. The biggest change is the header graphic is twice the size. I'm on a 23" monitor @ 1680x1050 and it's sized nicely.

The update notice header will be gone in a couple of days I'm sure, Clint.

Below that I see we have a sub header for the forum we are already in.
Seems completely redundant.

Ah, It's the sponsors I'm not seeing with Adblock+
That's why there's so much whitespace.

I agree kw.
Think I'm going to go into display options and see if I can tone it down a bit.

No more 'edit on page' either.
That kinda sucks.

ETA, Seems to be fixed now.
Good going IB team!

Just a bare bones header? No truck pic's? No HOTRODS?

It's faster - but seems to be missing something...

IT'S NAKED!!!

It's right next to the quote button for me.
But it takes me to a new page.

It is like only the advanced edit is enabled.

I agree with Greywolf. Just seems to be a little lacking. But I like it other than that so far.

I like the fact that it goes right to the log in now. I had my link set so it would before, but if I typed in the URL it went to the old home page and I had to select forums to get a log in screen. I agree with Jim, but I am also running adblock plus so don't see the ads. I just tried it disabled, and there is the sponsor list.

Thank you for all the feedback!

We are working on trying to put the ad in the header, like it is on the homepage to get rid of the white space you are seeing. This will also help push the content up.

There are a few things we are still trying to get perfect, in the meantime we thank you for your patience.

Hey - right here right now we have the choice to put the "Ride of the Week" in the header with a touch of java...

What do you think of that?
