Is this new look website ok ?

[Puddle]

Well this is the 2nd site I frequent that has changed it's look in the last few weeks and sadly not for the better. I rarely use the other site now and I'm afraid I doubt I'll be on here much now. In my opinion it looks way to over engineered and lacks clarity.

But hey, what do I know

I am not keen on the bright colours of some of the forum colour schemes and do find it detracts from the clarity but know many do
I have found if you change to the black and white colour chose at the bottom l/h side of page ,this improves the clarity of the forums for me,new colours will be coming on line

It may look over engineered,but looks can be deceptive,there are all the same basic functions as before ,all be it with different titles,if that is all you want to use

However it is true now you have more options for you to personalise your on line experience here if you wish and there are more options to expand the forum in different ways in the future

Hopefully it is not just the forum appearance that draws you here but the content too,which I hope you will agree is very good,however if you have any ideas how to improve it let us know

Excellent refresh, I was only on the old one a few days and found it really painful to navigate, this one is in line with most my other forums now. Good work.

The only gripe I have with the new look is the size of the message box. When I'm trying to read threads via my phone its too cramped to read easily and pretty much impossible when its a quote. Any chance of getting it adjusted admin?

I seem to have to keep login in, whilst browsing. At least 5 times tonight!!!! Frustrating

Log out manually and then log back in. This will clear and reset your cookie.

If everybody refreshes their screen by holding down the CTRL key and hitting F5 you should see a much smaller sponsors column.

Cheers Dan, I'll give it a go tomorrow. Am currently on my laptop and for the record there seems to be no issues and I like the new site from here.

I like the back and white colours, easier on the eye
