Wow, were to even start.
I guess, first of all, why is the thing constantly refreshing? There is no need to automatically refresh at all and it causes the page to jump which is really, really, really annoying.
That "news/commits" selection tab is huge. I would suggest making it smaller, but you really just need to get rid if that instead.
I don't think anyone would want to click on a button to see the current commits. It needs to be directly on the page right next to the news. It's OK to make the commits section small because the average viewer only needs to see that things are going on, not the details of each commit. (Anyone who really needs details on the commits will probably go directly to the mailing list or SVN anyway)
On the green buttons in the "get in touch section" there is some kind of extra blue selection shadow when mousing over that extends to the right that doesn't need to be there.
Also making the text bigger when mousing over those buttons doesn't seem needed.
Slow down the rotation of the random screenshot thumbnail! You don't want to give people seizures do you? Also some people might want to take a closer look at a screen shot before it rotates off.
I assume more screen shots can be added to the rotation? BTW, I can help make more screen shots if needed.
Are you even testing this in older browser? You know a lot of people will load up an older browser under ReactOS because it is more stable and then visit ReactOS.org. It needs to work well.
In SeaMonkey 1.1.x, Firefox 2, and Opera 10 the border around the links on the left does not display correctly. And there are numerous other formatting issues on various pages.
What he heck is MM_Forum? I though you were going to stick with PHBB? As a user I don't think I have seen any other forum that works as well as PHBB. But I can't log in to test the forum to really compare.
Are user accounts not migrated to this test version? I would assume not, but I can't log in to test things that need a login.
In the CompatDB there is a ton of blank space displayed at the top of each entry in my browsers. Also the screen shots are not appearing.
Other than that the CompatDB looks good as everything seem to be the same. You just brought the entire application over from the old system? If you did, you probably brought some known bugs with it, but I guess we can worry about those later. (I was under the impression it was somehow tied to RosCSM but I guess I was wrong)
At any rate, I can see that it took a lot of work to get this put together. I appreciate the work and effort it took to get this this far. Awesome job! And heres to hoping the last few bits here can get hammered in to shape so this can go live!
