On the main forum page, the long descriptions for each section (category?) really make the page long. Normally, the recent unread link is the quickest way to new content, but when browsing from the top level those descriptions R E A L L Y stretch out the page. Maybe sacrifice some SEO value and shorten them up? I miss the succinctness of the prior theme.
Hopefully I wasn't the only one who had to Google the word "succinctness?"
We could have gotten by with the limited amount of content that was on the forum homepage, but now the forum ranks for hundreds of new keywords. Plus, professionally written content is now a ranking factor with Google. The old content was written by Drew, the founder of the forum. And quite frankly, as much as I like Drew, the content just wasn't up to par. I can't believe I left it there as long as I did.
There are things I really miss about the old forum, but I have to keep improving it if I want it to stay competitive.
