That's why there's the Errors & Omissions Team. At your service, Sir! Big smile

BTW, I really like it now! Clap

I've updated hundreds of covers over the past few months - some more ppl helping out with that chore is much appreciated. Still loads of cover art here in tiny (100x100 pixels) resolution.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but the 'stars' rating in each album are gone :( (not when reviewing) Is that going to be permanent?

Overall I like the changes, but I do feel showing the member's avatar in the review causes confusion, especially when that avatar is the sleeve of a different album.

It's not just your browser. I'm not sure why Max doesn't put a hard limit on the size of uploaded avatars, it would make that problem less noticeable when it breaks out and would save him bandwidth.

Exactly my point Bob. The avatars take away the attention from the cover art and especially brings confusion when the avatar is another album cover.

I liked it better with the reviewers' avatars on the homepage, but also I can accept that for newcommers it may have been confusing, especialyy in the case of cover-art-based avatars.

I also agree that for now Avatar are a distraction from the reviews in the homepage and will be removed.

Kept in the album pages though ....

Just my opinion, but I feel the reviews should stay at the top, not be pushed down by anything that was formerly in the "right" column. 

I would even move the sound samples below the reviews, but that's just because to me the reviews are the number one feature, as a user. 
 
Also I notice the Avatar issue was not present at work this morning, meaning it wasn't present on IE, but it was screwed up on Firefox.

I think everything looks beautiful now. Frontpage looks great and album review pages looks great too. A real treat.
