If you hadn't already noticed, things are looking a little different around here lately.

Over the past few months, HEXUS has been hard at work redesigning our .net, .lifestyle and .gaming channels to help make all your favourite content more accessible.

The latest revision, v2.5.75, is now live and offers what we've dubbed our "featured content" row. Sitting close to the top of each of our HEXUS channels, the featured row provides quick access to our most-recent exclusive content. All our reviews, previews and features are all now firmly in the spotlight.

Above the featured row, you'll find a selection of newly-added tabs. Whether you're looking for the latest in-depth review or the hottest first look, these tabs will help you find your content with ease.

Keep your eyes peeled for further enhancements in future, and as always, share your thoughts, suggestions and feedback in our HEXUS.community forums.

It's good, but it would be better if the panels under the ‘featured’ bar were in a grid. They seem to be in three columns but once you've scrolled down a few lines the rows don't line up and the items are all over the place vertically, which makes my head hurt trying to find things. It's natural for your eyes to scan left-to-right then down and left-to-right again, like reading a book, but you can't do that with the current layout.

Just the one teeny suggestion. Can you not call the Buy now: SCAN International : £399.49 just Buy now: SCAN : £399.49? It's fine, just a bit of a line wasted unnecessarily. It's rolling over onto a new line in my browser and making it look a bit disjointed.

Agreed with the above poster - though since I regularly visit the homepage, it makes little difference to me. But I can appreciate that it does make it look unnecessarily random.

If you all used FireFox this would become very easy - and this is something which we want to fix but it's pretty damn tricky - no doubt Steve will post the issue and someone will work out how to solve it…

I do use Firefox! I use v3 at work and v2 at home and I get the same thing in both.
