i like it better thsi way but make the font smaller, cause the forum names are kinda long and are unsightly and make the screen cluttered. i suggest using a smaller font on the subforusmto make it easier to pick out the main forums

Good idea (smaller font)! We'll see if we can do that.

takes away from the main categories

How about making the lists shorter, e.g. "1st gen" instead of "GS- first generation" or "engine/trans." instead of "Force Induction, Engine, and Transmission Section".

This would be especially helpful in the classified section. Remove the word "classified" from each listing and it will be shorter. Maybe even shorten the titles a little too. So it will be: "Feedback, Lexus Vehicles, Wheels, Audio/Video, GS, SC, SC (2nd gen), IS, LS, RX, ES, LX, GX, General, Deals". Keep the font the same size so it will be easier to click on the abbreviated listing.

I think shorter name (1st Gen) and smaller font would be ideal.

right now i think its too big and cluttered.. i noticed it and thought there was something wrong with my computer/net. big without anything, i think people will be unhappy.

GREAT. Go for it, Dave. The slower the download and response time is on the Internet, the more time it saves.

In fact, that was something I suggested many months ago.

I think the type should be bolder or change the color, but keep the font the same size.
