The side navigation bar has been redesigned, and more will be added to it soon. There's a quick login to Versus City there, or (if already logged in) a quick link to your control panel. I'm planning to add a private message check feature later on.

The VF3tb > Akira page is almost ready and will give you an idea of what to expect for the character page design. Check it out.

As usual, if you have any useful feedback, let me know in the General forum.
