Some feedback thoughts:

The site tabs, how are they supposed to behave? Sometimes I have to click the tab for the sub-menu to persist, other times I can get away with hovering. Still other times, it didn't matter which — I had to move my mouse cursor fast or the sub-menu disappeared.

The size of the indentation when using a list format in a post has always annoyed me, even on the old site. Just want to put that out there.

Does mission submission have to require inputting a CAPTCHA? I'll sometimes try to join a mission that has only several seconds remaining until closure.

I miss the compactness of the tables used for the Registry, Armor, and Weapons pages.

FWIW, the CAPTCHA is some really old code that was removed years and years ago, and is probably showing up by accident. You can ignore it, the mission will still go through if you leave it blank. As to spacing... there's a post in the feedback forum that might interest you!

In general, I'd say don't sweat the layout details at the moment, especially in HMW. Its old code isn't playing too well yet with the new site structure and will get tuned later.

I just added all Seibertronians who last visited Seibertron.com's forums in the past 6 months to the BETA testing group. They would have had to have been logged in.

Time for feedback. I'm buckling up and putting my helmet on now!
