New design is definitely 'catchy'. Nice work.
I noticed one thing that scrolling on GMATClub tests page and on home page is slower. I don't know if it makes a bit difference, but I use Google Chrome on Mac.

Happy new year to everyone!

bb, there is a bug on the home page. I am signed into my account, but the home page will still show me the login box in the upper right. It should just show something stating that I am logged in.

Thank you for noticing.

Yes, it is not super intelligent. Not a bug but rather a weakness.... and was not a priority to start with. However, we should be able to fix it as we start applying some elements to the rest of the site.

I think this is just great, it is difficult to make criticism, at most mention a few details that could enhance the page.
I was thinking about some kind of active page, with the catchy "Did you know that 78 out of 562 Kellogg’s Class 2012 students are GMAT Club members?" switching to others features like "Did you know that GMAT Club was an active forum with more than XX members" , etc... Likle a slide show with 3 or 4 catchy stuffs. 
I think this is likely to make prospective visitors interested right from the beginning without scrolling down through the page (we are lazy, we prefere the web page to tell us what we should know rather than us exploring it ).

Happy new years everybody!
