Well, as you can tell, the frontpage of the website looks different. With the recent upgrade of the forums, we decided a change was in order. This was a long time in the making. e107 served its purpose well while we used it, but we have outgrown some of its functionality. Recently, after switching the forums, we found out that with some modifications and upgrades to Invision, we could make it do everything e107 could, and then some.

So, without any further ado, welcome to the new site. For those of you who are in a panic wondering where your favorite skin went, worry not. We are currently converting them from e107, so the site should look better than ever. We also added some menus to the top to help organize and make things run smoother. You should notice that the site without e107 is much faster.

Some things to point out:

• The Bugtracker is in the Support Menu, for those who need to submit a bug regarding DWARF or the website.
• The Help Wanted section has also been moved and has its own link up top
• The Downloads and Gallery sections are also all new, so enjoy their new menus
• There is a new tutorials section in the Information menu that will be being updated frequently with links and our own PW-authored tutorials for artists
• The IRC and Developer Blogs links can be found in the Community menu (for now) under "Live Chat"
• The links (GameDev Links) section is still here, under the Information menu, with more links than before regarding MMO and Game Dev

There are more changes going on. Don't expect this to be the final look of the site. We have a number of things planned to continually improve the site and make it a great place for our great community.

Let us know what you think in the Feedback forums, or reply to this with a comment!

My only complaint is that I keep triggering the drop-downs from the top buttons when i try to use the View New posts. Can you move those lines a bit further apart?
