Muhammad, the tightening up of whitespace is going well. Vast improvement from yesterday.
My suggestion for the next step is ditch those huge touchscreen-inspired icons (under the Forum tab) that don't do anything. (A default VB 'feature'?)
The line of text below the line of icons is essential to understand what the icons are supposed to mean since not all the icons are obvious. And since that line of text is needed, it alone is all the reader needs to navigate the site.
Seems to me the line of big 'modern' icons does nothing beyond maybe impress a first time visitor. Is that what Win8 looks like? (actually they remind me of old long-forgotten software). But even our awed visitor will soon conclude the way they eat up screen space adds nothing beyond a nuisance.
