On general layout and format - I'm generally on PC, and while the graphics are a little dated, the layout isn't awful. There are occasional pages where paragraphs would be helpful, and many pages would benefit from breaking up ten plus paragraphs into sub-headings. Could this be sorted on a Bounty system? I.E we post a link to poorly formatted pages, someone puts it into a HTML friendly format (line breaks, headings, paragraphs) for a bit of MHL/XP? I'm sure we have players active who are capable of reformatting in that way. Similarly mismatches between Class and Race restrictions, typos, etc.
I think the general format of having the main headings in the left hand list, then sub-pages in the middle at the top, and further sub-pages inside those sub-pages, can be confusing.
As an example, we have the Races page, which splits into the Playable Races, the NPC Bestiary, and the NPC Races. Each of the main entries on these pages then has their own page. This also seems to go 'up and down' - so you go from Races to Playable Races using the links at the top of the sub-page, then down into say, Cat Folk, then back to the links at the top of this page. This would be better served, imho, by some sort of 'tree' system which lets you expand the Races Menu to go directly to the race you fancy, while preserving the current landing page for general browsing.
Also worth noting that where there's a general race page not yet written (Like the Cat Folk Religion page), there's no indication that the link doesn't work beyond it not being a link.
Breaking to eat pizza - may add in more as it occurs to me!
