What should be on the main page?
Some have suggested having the latest reviews, although these are already within each genre. What would be the most useful/helpful to have on the page?
The album charts are definitely staying, but besides that I am open to your suggestions |

The latest reviews from the whole site would make sense; you can still see the latest reviews for each genre within the genre headings of course.
Also, lots and lots of pop-up ads. |

my main incentive to check out the original forum was to see who wrote what lately, and so far i haven't really paid much attention to the new site at all because it has yet to feature this. |

I checked what was new every day I went to the forum version, so.. some cookies that tell you which reviews are new each time you visit might be good. also some mission statement that these reviews are written by the users of the site, not being paid for, etc.. |

Maybe near the top reviewers list could be a link that lists the latest reviews. So it saves space on the main page, and still you can see all new reviews.
Or a small box with the reviews like it is on MXTabs. Besides that, I'm happy with the main page as it is |

I like the mission statement idea and keep top reviewers. Most recently reviewed also seems like a good idea to prevent reviews sllipping away without ever being seen..

I think, on the Latest Reviews list, we don't really need to see the number of replies and views. Having the genre in that space would be a lot better, in my opinion.
Anyone agree/disagree? |

Anyone else support my call for cookies that can tell you all the new reviews and reviews with new comments since your last visit?

i think to help site viewers to discover more, you should find the best Metal reviewer, best alt/indie reviewer, best jazz reviewer, etc, have have them do a write-up of the genre, linked under each genre title, so the visitor can check out all the genres and learn a little more about them all, so they can open up more than just browsing one genre page over and over.
either that, or just cite Allmusic.com's genre descriptions, rather than having MXers do it. |
