Hi Adam, I did much of the earlier work on the beta site. In my opinion, the beta is not ready for production. It looks pretty rough. If it was launched I think it would reflect poorly on the community. I am sorry if my feedback is not very helpful. I could put together a list of issues that I can see, but what would be really great is if we had a visual designer to fix the styling and typography issues. Regards, Stew
