I'll start off by saying congrats on launching the new stackideas site. The tour for getting people interested in EasySocial is visually engaging and shows quite a bit in a single page. I'm also pleased to see ftp/admin login placed in a single place which saves both the stacked team and users work. The icon choices are good and are used in places that help create simplicity and less text. So overall I'm pretty pleased about the new design, even the forum has a design change I thought about literally less than 24 hours before the new site was in!
Suggestions and Commentary:
App Section ought to have a Filter for "Free" and "Paid". Right now it's obvious which ones are which, but eventually when lots of apps exist, a method for distinguishing the difference would be nice.
Display forum post reply order by newest first rather than oldest. Right now I have to go to page 13 to see my latest forum post. Kinda silly if you ask me.
The font choice in the forums feels a little too light. Either something with just a little more weight or make it slightly darker. I know going easy on the eyes is a good thing, but at the same time a balance must be met to make it as easy to read as possible. This is coming from someone with good vision.
The frontpage feels a little plain. That's probably the point, but I did like the old frontpage design.
The edit profile section should have bigger fields for the site details as seen here:
I'm not asking for too much more space usage, but some url's might be longer which it seems silly to waste space that could have part of the domain or login info covered up due to the field being too small. Also note the word "Edit Profile" slightly clashing into the left side.
Also I'm going to miss the old team status in the forums. It was very theatrical with the tropical sun icon and the support heroes statement.
