Ugly ads :)

Make asp.net forums similar to stackoveflow where member can up/down vote and make it more social.

Release all the source code of the website, the Umbraco and ASP.NET community will be very thankful!

Try and make the website full width? Most developers today have pretty large screens.

Used named anchors in the tutorials so we can cite specific sections of long tutorials when answering questions in the user forums.

When ppl reached that section, it seems like only Razor tutorial. Should move MVC, Web forms, WebMatrix and etc in to a same places, so it will make ppl easier to learn & noticed what "technology & knowleadge" they should learn in one place. One more thing to share, is Web Pages 2 = WebMatrix 2, confused. Anyway i am not interested in WebMAtrix(Sorry!)

I believe that the homepage can be much simpler than this. Other than the ads that is already mentioned, some other items can be removed to make it more precise. I don't know if there is any statistics on the highest interests for the visitors on the site, but it's good to stick to them. I don't think the latest announcements and blog posts are the top interests for all visitors.

At the bottom of the website I see this:

This site is hosted for Microsoft by Neudesic, LLC.

Why don't you prove how easy and cheap Windows Azure is and host the site yourselves on Azure instead of having to pay Neudesic?

Give more importance to intermediate and expert content like , community, microsoft blogs and article of the day

It will be better if we have link to last reply of a post.

I think the beta's background image/colors doesn't look good.

It would nice to have the option to exclude solutions or searches based on code base.

I would say, there should be a section, where people should go and learn how to build a complete website from start to end.

Points might be provided on the quality or completeness of providing a full solution. Like if the problem was posted requesting help in VB, a C# solution wont get points. Like wise a link to an off site web page would not get as high of points.

I'd say "Web Development with Power, Productivity & Speed" is a long one. If there is a marketing team at Microsoft that has proposed this, then that's fine, otherwise, I'd suggest to have a shorter slogan, but don't ask me what 'cause I'm not good at it ;-)

in My Threads section, more filter/sort options should be available. Like all my threads which are not marked as answered yet or where my reply is marked as answer etc.

Arial, Helvetica, Verdana (from the old site) all look much better without ClearType enabled. Segoe UI looks bad, really bad.
