I don't know if maybe I just don't see this option, but I'd love some bookmarking icons.

Hi Kathryn - thanks for your feedback.

The member widget is due in Jan as per member feedback but the bookmarking icon is still in the wishlist.

You may want to add your thoughts to Rene's discussion on future widgets.

I love the new layout. I think having the RSS feed is a great addition, and I love having top members instead of the founders listed (but that doesn't mean I don't love and respect you!).

This is a great site! Thanks for the improvements!

Yep, you've really got to earn your stripes now. Looks like we both have a little bit of work to do.

Redesign looks great!! One thing...I'm sure it's being discussed...and i'm sure there is a better place to post this...but I often notice duplicate news posts between different members...anything being done to try and limit this?

Hi Dan - glad you dig it

Re articles rotation - this is a rotation on refresh of popular articles (ie qualified for min voting) that way only the good stuff gets exposure.

And if anyone is wondering "Hot Question" is based on recency and a small threshold of minimum answers - this will also rotate on refresh, but has a smaller number to rotate given recency criteria.

looks like the featured article is actually just a random article.

It will be even better if we can customise all the sections, like moving around, or make something bigger or smaller, and even close some sections. That might be something to do in the future. For now, things are improved.

Thanks Sam - a nice idea for the future - customize your gooruze page. Might be a few releases away but worth adding to feature wishlist.

Looks good Jackie. Like the additional real estate given to a top question. This this will really help get Q&A cranking.

It looks good. I like the colored backgrounds on Featured Article and Q&A -- really helps draw attention.

Looks good from what I see.

I would like to see a little bit more of the " Hot Question" text, vs so much image. The current one cuts off here "Hourly Reports in Google Adwords..." maybe show the entire title? Just a quick thought. Maybe make it similar to the featured article layout?
