I think these have probably been mentions but just in case. Many people's PS now looks really bad. The variation between text sizes is off, the spaces between paragraphs and lines is too big, and the banners aren't working properly (my smiley banner is showing boxes with ? in them).
btw, I'm getting quite a few blank pages loading when I go look at the beta ones. I think they load properly if I try again later. No error message though.

Are there going to be journal entries? Mine have all disappeared. As I've said elsewhere, I do hope we'll have the option to move & re-size boxes on our own PS.

The Journal link is there Teasswill, it's just not active yet.
Are we going to have our Friend's Lists?

Ah, yes, now I've seen that. Looks quite a useful feature if the buttons open up on the item in the whole screen rather than just jumping to that box.
A button bar at the bottom too would be even better.

"Many people's PS now looks really bad."
Sounds like the Internet! I find when browsers move on, and HTML/CSS coding moves forward too, we all end up with tons of Internet filled with personal web sites that worked once, but really need to be tidied up. I suspect when the site upgrades, existing users will need to engage in some housekeeping. On the Internet, the offending sites tend to be semi-abandoned relics of years past - and, in truth, many pages have been tweaked and twiddled with for just as long on h2g2. With change comes Spring cleaning...

Journals will be there for the full launch, so too Friends. Also, we're going to fix a bunch of GuideML stuff for the full launch too but as the Apprentice said, users may need to engage in a little spring cleaning of their personal spaces

I'm happy to redo my PS The big variation in text sizes and line breaks does seem to be site wide though.
