Looking nice! This is pretty easy to read and the organization does seem simplified. After browsing around a bit the website seems smaller than I know it really is, which is desirable. Those are the easiest to note changes.

I've noticed a few things aren't working quite right though. I don't know if it was like this before but I'm getting some bunched up images on the news page. See attachment.

If I notice anything else that doesn't seem quite right I'll let you know.

Bunched-up images? You must have been seeing that page BEFORE I fixed it (well, after you let me know about it :goofy: ) Thanks for that! Some bugs undoubtedly slip through at times, but I'm content the bulk of the site presently looks and behaves as I want despite being launched a lot earlier than I intended.

In general, I still want to get a Flash-based review browser running again, but I need to figure out how to encode that properly to work with the new set-up.

You should add some redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs. I browsing our repairs and tried to go to a repair page on your site. I was hit with a broken link so I had to find it manually. It was annoying. When we switched URL structure I made sure to add redirects to make sure everything works as smoothly as possible.

Some redirect pages have been set-up. Working on building in others, though due to some of the nature of the changes, it would be exceedingly difficult to create new pointers for old pages since they could be called to from so many places due to the old database architecture of the site articles. There has been a LOT of page re-organization for all the articles on iSoaker.com. The only pages that could easily be re-directed to their new location were the blaster review pages.
