Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't really see a big difference....it basically still appears the same to me.  ???

I see a big difference. It looks a lot better.

I have to admit I was expecting a more major re-design.

The changes are minimal. I prefer the old header.

Overall, I am pretty indifferent about the changes.  I like this site and will continue to frequent here regardless of the site design (and I am a designer) - so long as it is nothing headache-inducing.

Just as an fyi, the 'redesign' was a backend system redesign rather than a visual redesign. We did throw in some visual improvements, but that was not the focus. Changes will be evolutionary.

I like that quote. :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I think the opening statement in the announcement sums up the changes pretty well.

QuoteAfter months of intensive redesign, Metro Jacksonville is revealing its new website next week.The new site will be cleaner and faster, but the majority of the work revolved around building a brand new system from the ground up to better serve our needs as well as support new features planned for the near future.

Like the visual improvements, specially the header graphic, but I too was thrown by the first sentence:

I think a more correct term would have been re-engineering if you concentrated mostly on back-end systems.

Did the message forum scheme change? Any chance of an alternate color scheme option. It seems super-white now and it kinda hurts my eyes.

Actually, it's weird. I use firefox at work and home but at home I see the different shades on posts. Odd. Still though, a dark scheme would be cool at some point.
