I see that today the logo is changed. Yesterday's logo looked much better. The red is too loud and the line drawing is distracting away from the words "Signs of the Times". It looks very messy.
The red underline links are not very pleasing to the eye either. Why do the links even need to be underlined? Inserting dashes link underlines among the already-dashed table elements on the home page makes it look even more messy.
The former design had a really clean look to it.
The nav bar at the top is a confusing read. I think It needs some sort of separaters between words -- e.g. Forum | Podcast | Archive -- something like that.
One thing I do like is the lack of flash animations. Flash is nice and incredibly useful. But if developers don't allow a person to stop the animation (via a right-click menu) then it puts a huge load on a Web browser. The previous design only had the ability to stop one of the Flash animations. If you insert Flash please let us control the animation.
When I signed up for a new account in this new forum, the resulting page shows the Webmaster's email address in a clickable link. That will very quickly lead to a ton of junk mail . . .
I'm not sure why, but the site has a very slow response time today.
