Neither of those chat links works right now, but I imagine its under construction at this moment. I would move the other chat back to the top and advertise those other chat boxes some place else, like in the resources tab, and then Ill see if I can link imminst.org/chat, imminst.org/meetings and imminst.org/tv to it. Although Im hoping we can still find a way to harness the ustream chat potential, because if a bunch of us are ever going to be chatting at the same time for an event or something then we might want to try to do it in the ustream channel because once you breach a certain threshold of viewers then the imminst ustream page gets in to the top, popular page in the ustream channel and picks up exposure like that.

Other wise I think the box is good and should stay at the top there. I hope it doesnt become perceived as to redundant with the other two lines of tabs there right above it. One way to get around that might be to link the things in the latest news and announcement box to little pictures if that can be done.

Oh, and I just had my brother donate $50.00 to F@H for me with his bank card, (I dont have a bank card for my bank) and he said that after he donated that it redirected him to a dafault page that said something like, "you have accessed a non existent page" or whatever it says. I figure this is because its under construction right now, but that you might want to know about that.

My only critique is that the top of the age is getting too cluttered. I realize it is a work in progress and you have done a great job so far increasing the functionality of the forum, however, the menus and the new functions/links need to be reformatted and streamlined so it is not too junky/confusing/cluttered at the top of the page, IMHO.

News and Announcements is good, but once I've read it for the day, I'd like to be able to close it and have it stay closed. At the moment, it re-opens with every page refresh. I agree with Mind on the clutter at the top of the page. We've lost the link to the membership listing. I know it's somewhere, I just stumbled on it the other day, but now I can't find it again...

I noticed the membership link was lost - it now goes to the membership forum. Here is the original link. You can still find this on the home page under "Start Here".
