A New Look: The Hive frontends almost all have the same look. Nerday.com is a little different, and I love that it is. A new look could be something as simple as applying alternative colours or fonts. I think that POB deserves it's own face.
I want to get involved with the POB front-end design a little bit at some point and my thoughts are the same. Fresh, unique, different. Less is more as far as I'm concerned and the main change I'd do was to make the profile picture smack bang in the middle of the top header with notifications to the left and the wallet to the right (side by side, not at the corners).
The main focus should be on the content and the people here. There doesn't need to be overcomplicated methods for statistics etc. just a solid focus on user experience and featuring the quality we're all about. Classifications for tags and sub-communities can be incorporated in a number of ways but I think it would be cool to have a dedicated dropdown menu that could be used to select and browse content easily.
(Nothing spectacular or extraordinary, just slightly different and fresh)
