Thanks to Jon and OMC for the idea.
I plan on adding counters which will show you how many new comments have been posted on your downloads, and how many of your favourite projects have been updated since you last visited them (these were also suggested by Jon and OMC). It's a much bigger job to code those hence why I've started with the basics first
The links do nothing at the moment because I haven't finished coding the pages they link to yet. If you have any other suggestions for the sidebars feel free to post them here.

That is something I've wanted for... a long time!
You can log off any time you like, but you can't ever leave.
Sexy. However unless these aren't supposed to be links and are by accident, when you click on any of them it takes you to the page you're currently on. Even shows up as the current page you're on, in the status bar. Curious, I don't even think I could do that if I wanted to, much less by accident.
Anyway, might want to fix that. The new icons are very attractive though and the extra information is welcome with open arms in my opinion.

The pages that they are supposed to link to have not yet been completed - it was done intentionally
Including My Downloads? I assumed that would take you to your profile.
Also, what about making it so that the profile sidebar actually Welcomes us by our real name rather than the name we joined the site with? Anyone else ever have this strike them as a tad unusual? "Welcome SuperSonic3000!" How about "Welcome BrandonC" instead?
There is no other quick way of seeing whether your downloads have been accepted (other than going to the downloads page and checking). I think it generally makes it easier to check whether your download has been accepted. The counter that shows the number of downloads you have will eventually be removed once I code a counter for displaying new comments posted on your download pages.
