Unhappy, to put it mildly.

For a start, how inept do you have to be to design a layout that doesn't fit on a 800x600 screen?

The new logo is mystifying to me - it's well done, but I feel like I should be shopping for car parts.

The white background is literally painful to look at. Yes, I know we can change the background to black (thank goodness) - but first time visitor/customers/clients will encounter the stark, ugly default scheme and I can't imagine it making a good first impression on many of them.

We have marketplace, gallery and freestuff thumbnails all designed to look good on a black background. Didn't it occur to anyone that they might not look quite so good dropped into the middle of a vast expanse of white?

Apparently not :(

In another thread someone suggested that you temporarily revert to the old layout while you get this mess sorted out. Sounds like a good idea to me.
