Today I'm proud to announce the re-launch of the 6G Celicas main site!

Let me know what you guys think...good, bad, I want to hear it all!

Hmm...seems like a lot of people don't like the red? Is it just the color or what? I could make it blue...would that make it better?

good job! i really like it. way better then the old one.

one small thing i dont like, when you are looking at a members profile, the list of mods is on the right and google adds are on the left. i think it would flow better if the mods were one the left and the ads on the right. ... if that makes sense.

The ads are on the left because they fall under the basic Celica info and above the high-res photos. Due to the nature of the mods listing being long for many members, it makes sense to have these three sections side-by-side with the mods listing. Moving the Adsense ads to the right would require moving the basic Celica info to the right as well, and I think it's important to have the basic Celica info as visible as possible. Putting it on the left side makes it more visible than the right side, IMO, and that's why it is the way it is.

I played with the member profile page for a couple days messing with several layouts, and in the end, this one turned out to be the best IMO. I could consider laying it out differently though. I appreciate comments like these.

You already know from my posts in the other new site thread that I like the upgrades a lot. I don't like the home page. I thought something had to be wrong there. Everything else that was done is great, but the home page just looks cluttered and not near as professional as the old one. Like I said before though, I love everything else.

I agree...the home page does seem cluttered, especially the left column. Too much text, not enough whitespace, no gray seperator lines, etc. The home page was the last thing I did, and I rushed through it in an effort to get the site up and online. I will be tweaking it for sure soon though to make it look a lot better.
