It does look snazzier and livelier. Even more than the Account Page, I like the presentation of the content (which is what readers see first anyway). It has definitely been streamlined, and the relation of content to the advertisements has been refined.<br /><br />There is one thing though still missing: an archive tab.

This list gives contributors a chance to shine and lets us meet other contributors that we may not otherwise notice. It is a great motivater for many on AC and its absence is a shame!

However, with the "Related Content" box occupying the top center of the page and the Contributor's actual Article and Title off to the left side, it is harder for the eye to fix on the main article and the information it has to offer.
