With regards to this site:
I think it'd be handy to have the Sidebar forum headings ("Support Forums" but mostly "Community Forums") be links to http://www.themehybrid.com/support/ and http://www.themehybrid.com/community/ respectively. Mostly just a one-click way to get to all of the recent Community posts - as there doesn't seem to be a direct link to that index - only to the "sub-forums".
Also, it might be nice to have the sliding panel at the top always open (so yeah, no sliding panel), so things like search and profile links are more accessible. It looks fancy, but the thrill wears off eventually. Worse comes to worse I might just rig something up using Greasemonkey so it pushes down the menu and keeps the sliding panel open as well.
