Its not bad now Ive got a bit used to it, but would it hurt having the left sidebar with quicklinks to the sections as well ? I see it might look a bit cluttered now with it there, but I think for people first coming to the site, if they see 'hexus.forums' and hexus.randomothersection itll be easier for them to navigate as they can either do that, or click discussions at the top, twice the options, half the time looking round to find what you want
