I hope you will agree the layout is now less cluttered and more user-friendly
Disagree... still a low signal-to-noise ratio. When you view the page with the most common 1024x768 resolution, there is hardly any visible content... it has been pushed out of the way by an overly-tall blondepoker logo, gratuitous mugshots (who actually cares what Snoopy looks like?), another large banner ad taking up the whole middle section of the screen, and more banner ads running down the centre of the screen. There is no visible link to the forum, which is your most valuable and/or popular asset. You have to scroll about three pages down to find the articles -- a real shame, because some of them are quite well-written.
Basically, all the important stuff should be immediately visible... no one wants to fuck about scrolling around searching for stuff. And you can't just shove advertising in people's faces and expect them to bother coming back. I never go near the blonde homepage.
Someone should fix the photos...

Also, read this page; and you need a site map.
