Just like anything...need to get used to it.

I think some people (like me) will get lost in the tabs.

I think they need a left navigation menu that drops down when you go into that section (kinda like bestbuy).

I have to agree with you. I used to go to Packages and find everything .. now I have to click on Website or another tab to view more options.

I would prefer a simple long menu at the side or maybe some dhtml which allows menus to further open without page reloading.... plus a shortcut (jumpto menu) with the most features used.

Same here, I need time to adjust to changes. Maybe the sign of old age creeping up on me

On the 'Domain Registrations' tab, the section containing Registration Data, the display shows the user name completed, the password (full of stars - as is normal) but alongside this it shows in plain type, in red writing, inside brackets, the actual password. I use my computer at home where no-one else would see this so is un-important to me, but I assume a lot of Powweb users use machines that are in places where others can look over their shoulders and see the password.

I'm curious as to why, when they go to all the coding to produce stars instead of the password they then publish in plain text the password alongside. Surely this is very bad practise and poor security?

I'm not too sure about it...

I might be just like the next person who has posted about taking time to get used to it, but I think it's not the usability that distracts me as much as the design itself. I usually think of websites as works of art and when something is so box-like it distracts me incredibly. One thing I love for certain, is that everything works!
