Would like to see this clean up more and shown within tabs to locate what you need quickly.
Log In / Register: Within your (Default Settings Option) Be able to select which area of the site you want to start in when you log into or select area when logging in.
Current Site News: Be shown in smaller content box and scroll to view rest. Links to Forum/Blog/etc... to view without scroll and to view all in another full page separate in sections.
Sections / Categories Column replace into Tabs or Full Pages (Examples)
I was going to create my own mock up of what I would like to see, but I remember viewing these sites and it is as close to what I like vB CMS to be like out of the box.... I do not enjoy those Sections/ Categories shown and to scroll right off the screen if you have excess sub-sections and categories links.
I doubt we would get an input on what the vB CMS 4.1 layout should or would like it to be, as it maybe already went to the DEV's to create a working version.
