IDSA's new web site

First off, I tried to go to the IDSA site and accidentally landed on Infectious Diseases Society of America. Why is the url called “blue-harvest”?

I’ve been waiting patiently for this redesign for ages and I have to say that the site still feels incomplete. Why the large gaps of space? Why does it look like we only have 3 members? Why are thumbnails stretched? And why for goodness sake are the links still underlined?

There’s no sense of excitement or interactivity. I wish I could blame my inherent pickiness as the reason for my disappointment, but we’ve had years to work on this redesign and it feels embarrassingly unpolished. It makes industrial designers look uninteresting and incompetent with the web.
