I'm not sure what the first image in that row is, though... ?
As I was waking up this morning I dreamed about seeing the 'stories' drop-down and how cool that would be. Clearly I was excited about this.
A lot of the poems are not categorized, because there is a new list of categories, right? So we need to go through and put them in their places, no? Some things will remain categorized though, right?

Uh, yeah - what the hell is that?
I just showed it to my fiancee and she was like, 'Is it an animal? Like a penguin, hunched over?'
I said 'No' but let me assure you... there was no confidence in my voice.
I just went through my stuff and had to recategorize a few poems but other than that it was all good.*
*A task that would have been made much simpler if I had a way to list all the stories/poems I've started. *cough*
As to re-categorizing - the poems (etc.) that have been categorized are the ones that had matching categories in their new sections... the rest had to be filed as Uncategorized as I mentioned in my first post here.
@Eloosive Updating the "my stories" list with some filters is in the works, but obviously this had to be done first.
Glad everyone's likin' the changes so far.
Cheers,

Hmm, I shall think on it.
And I understand about this getting done first. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I'm never satisfied :P

So Faltar just posted a new chapter in For The Hater Raters.
In the Recent Activity list it shows up as:
http://www.protagonize.com/undefined/for-the-hater-raters/54940
See that 'undefined' in there? Yeah, I'm thinking it's the reason behind why I get taken to the Oops page when I click on it.
Interestingly, the link to the story itself doesn't have it, just the new chapter.
Also: it works fine when I click on the chapter link in my notifications.
Somebody enlighten me?
Don't worry too much about it - it will be a major improvement: less cluttered, easier to find stuff, cleaner and friendlier. Stories will be much easier to read and author profiles will be expanded so you can showcase your work, etc. I'll be adding a few subscriber features at the same time.
I'll probably post some screenshots later this month once I'm closer to having it ready.
I've also pushed a bunch of fixes up just now - the activity list in particular should be working better.
Let me know if you see anything else wonky...
I've a question: why did you shrink the number of votes a story/poem etc must get to show up on the top rated in each section? It seems a bit low...? Then again, maybe this way we'll see even more of a turn-over and will be able to find current well rated stuff. I see that the overall top rated is still at the same level (or similar, at any rate).

As for the required number of votes for top rated, that's leftovers from the "top stories" within the individual categories. I'll tweak it a bit, although I do tend to tweak those pretty often anyway. :)
Edit: Okay, I matched the required number of votes up to what it was before now. That change was unintentional. :)
