Hello people! 
Nice new website you've done with this brand new MXM site, congrats to all! I would, though, just wonder about the way it's been classified and the way it's shown.
At first sight, it seemed pretty good to me, but after a few days, I feel as if the increasingly huge amount of new ressource doesn't fit anymore with the layout. Imagine how it's gonna be in 6 months, with dozens of "Metal" pages, and only one preview per page! Wouldn't it be easier and faster with several previews each page, instead of the list on the left side? Or another system, of course, but something that may fit better with the high quantity (and very high quality) of materials available in the next months.
Another thing is the way it's been categorized. I don't know why, but as a newbie (I still don't use Maxwell, mainly because of some limitations with the C4D plug), I expected the classification to be kinda more... scientific-like, or based on other criterias than "looks like metal" or "looks like wood". I don't try to say it rude, it's just say that I feel there is a difference between the level of excellence you can find in this materials library and the way you can search in it.
And finally, these two elements of this system can lead you to mistakes : when you open the huge "Metal" section, the very first material you see is the "Teflon", by Tom, which looks really good for sure, but actually Teflon is a plastic material, not a metal.
