I like the blueness. Blue is my fav colour though (sorry for textspeak cant think of spelling the full word)!

Just noticed that the "presscoverage" link isn't working.

NottsMum · 17/10/2006 10:39

Call me old-fashioned but I like underlined links!

TECH'S PREGNANT?!

hunkermunster · 16/10/2006 22:30

Can you add the text:

Congratulations to Hunkermunster who has won our Big Cottage Company holiday!

to the homepage, please.

hub2dee · 16/10/2006 22:26

you've missed out the 'r' in the alt text for 'your pregnancy'

hub2dee · 16/10/2006 22:20

Also, if you've moved the case on 'by parents for parents' to all lowercase, I'd de-capitalise the B. Now please tell me to f*ck off.

Justine - are you following the Barnet corporate blue used in all the signposts ? LOL

I think maybe a pixel spacing at the top to space the banner ads down a tad. Also consider rounding off the top left and top right 'mumsnet' / 'parents' corners with a rounded edge instead of 90 degrees. Looks a bit harsh.

And I've just seen you've put the fainting fathers on featured threads when you know full well it's got me in all my glory post floor-inspection.

Also I'd vertically centre the DSC logo next to 'Hosting by'

I am a picky little git.

A little more purple/lilac would be lovely It's a nice spiritual colour.

Have a look tomorrow - we've tweaked a bit and it is indeed a bit less blue. Let us know what you think.

Dottydot · 16/10/2006 21:29

The font's changed again! (is this a test..?!)

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 16/10/2006 21:16

and the borders around things

I mean, its active convos I have bookmarked but..

ah, I suppose change in inevitable in all things...

FillyjonkthePumpkinEater · 16/10/2006 21:11

i liked the old page more

Dottydot · 16/10/2006 21:10

Actually this is just like being at work, where I'm trying to persuade our IT guy to drop the NHS blue and go with purple!

Dottydot · 16/10/2006 21:09

That dark purple colour on the adopt an orphan advert is lovely

hub2dee · 16/10/2006 21:09
Dottydot · 16/10/2006 21:07

Phew - the font's changed and it's slightly less NHS blue I think - looks better!

hub2dee · 16/10/2006 21:00

Justine - are you lot really sure about the blue ? It's erm, very blue !

Are you trying to attract more men or something ? LOL

edam · 16/10/2006 20:56

Hmmm what fount is that? Looks a bit like verdana. I like it personally, simple and easy to read - MN has always been about making the site straighforward to use and avoiding unnecessary bells and whistles.

IMO looks v. nice overall but agree too much blue, could do with a second colour.

ShinyHappyPurpleSeveredHeads · 16/10/2006 20:54

Sunchowder, what you mean you're not hankering after the odd ticker.. stating such information as "4 mins, 3 seconds since last Very Inflammatory and Potentially Libellous Comment was posted..." all done in lovely pastel colours of course..?

ShinyHappyPurpleSeveredHeads · 16/10/2006 20:52

LOL, the stuff about SheWhoMustNotBeNamed is linked from the homepage now And when you click it, you can look at the press coverage.

WHO is the fab and witty literary genius of a Mner who wrote that article called Baby Bomber (and culprit of the South Lebanon comment, ahem )? Her name is Jospephine Wall.. but what is her REAL (Mumsnet!) name!! She is so funny.. I want to read everything she has ever written and don't know who she is as I was (sadly) not privy to the notorious thread in question.

Hi guys - new font on it's way tomorrow - will be clearer. The original design was Geneva but it turns out that doesn't show up on explorer only macs, so we are returning to Verdana which we agree is much clearer - thanks, as ever, for the input.
