Maybe I'm just too dumb to figure out how to navigate this new site, so can someone explain it to me.
Where is the front page? Where are all the updated videos?

At the moment the recent videos page is the home page. This will be changed after the site racks up enough front popular videos.

Where do the new posts go? In recent? I couldn't find a submission I made, maybe it was just swarmed by people trying to get points so they can comment?

The comment section could use a little work, honestly. The text boxes open is very odd places when responding and it's difficult to tell which comments are responses and which comments are root level.

I agree with FullAuto here. It sometimes get confusing figuring out who is responding to whom.
Edit: For example, could you obviously tell that I was responding to FullAuto's comment? Or did it look like I was creating a new comment unrelated to his?

I didn't find it hard to tell you were replying to fullauto, but the further along it goes the harder it is to tell. I believe the issue is with the dual text boxes when you hit reply, but I'm not 100% sure.

The replies work better here in the poll than on videos. The reply box opens right below the comment here, but on videos it's down below the "add new comment" section.

I like the layout.
I don't like that when I press "back" on the front page it always updates and returns to the front of the page, I do not think this is a browser problem, I use opera.
I don't like that it is all one page neither.
Is the difference between the frontpage and the "recent content" that "recent" is sorted on latest edit ot comment date?
Will there be a classic recently added/front page set up?

I mean when I pres back TO RETURN TO the frontpage.
I don't like that I can't edit, btw. Not vitally important but it would have saved us all from me commenting on my comment.
Oh, and I don't understand why some are nationals and others are spikers although there is no real difference in points.
Also: I can't post pics or smileys in replies.

Same here. If I scroll down the continuous list of videos and find one I want to see, click it, watch it, then click the back button, it does not take me back to where I was but back to the top of the list, meaning I have to scroll scroll scroll to get back to where I was.

Jut checked my junk e-mail an found this message from spiked nation:
daftcunt,
We are sorry!
You have lost the number of points required to be a National.
You no longer have access to the areas and privileges of the following role:
Role: National
Points Required: 5000.
Well,
I must say: Fuck you spiked nation!
Thanks for reading this.

I would have to say that the "points" thing seems very strange to me. I can understand how it can have benefits but it also has drawbacks, such as making people who have been here for a long time feel as though they are hitting a glass ceiling.
