@wazua sounded like a politician on that last post.
Change is good, but sometimes, change(especially when it is "too much" change), when not well managed can be a risk. What you should be working on now is that risk management by managing that change... one of the ways is being sensitive to your members requests that you can easily incorporate in the site - may be considering to have a "quick navigate" where people can easily view topics from all sections in one page (as it used to be) that can be put in some corner - like the left hand side is all empty... Infact, you dont need to put all of the 20 list for one group.... just some few, and make them collapsible such that when you move from "investor" to "CLUB SK" the "investor" collapses thus reducing the space required to view the topics while still maintaining the main pages as they are(hope this is possible).... we can do with the smilies below the edit menu and use that space for something more important or some convenience... Remember, the reason why you are getting those new hits is because of the old members and old peeping toms - you need them to keep this site attractive so that when the "guests" come, they do not want to leave and they get hooked too.....
