Looks great! well done.
Much more user-friendly. I've using the site for years and didn't know you had all of the different areas. The left menu is great.

ps- You shouldn't force people to add their email address to these posts. I see that the email gets posted right in the thread here for all the spam bots to see. I have used a fake address avoid getting flooded with spam from having my email address publicly posted on your website.
