oh lovely the active convos list looks familiar now too - hurrah!

tortoiseBells · 15/12/2006 12:35

Oh really don't like it - feel very disenfranchised! I think it was fine the way it was....but never mind!

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:34

blimey it's changing as I post

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:34

Ah - The power - mwahhhaahhaa

pmsl Aardvark

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:33

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Now how much better is that?

It's like someone has turned the light switch on

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:33

Actually, can you make the fonts for the links a bit smaller, only I can nearly read it atm and surely that's not the idea?

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:33

Oh this is MUCH better

Oh it's up there ^ now.

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:33

Now make the links to all convos, etc bigger at the top and we're getting somewhere (well, going back to what it was like)

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:32

Are they changing as I post. Can't find how to get back to active convos now.

EmkanaCookTurkeyLikeICan · 15/12/2006 12:32

Now they just need to fit "threads I'm on" and all that in somewhere

nutcracker · 15/12/2006 12:31

Ok now thats a bit better at least.

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:31

Oh, that's weird, I posted and now the page fits the screen again, how did I do that?

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:30

oOH, THE BAR'S GONE FROM THE LEFT.

i PREFER THAT.

Er. Soz for CAPS - got excited

EmkanaCookTurkeyLikeICan · 15/12/2006 12:30

It's gradually becoming more like it was...

the mind boggles that MN towers might have paid someone for all this, only for it to end up the same as it was in the end!

katierocket · 15/12/2006 12:30

I love the way it's changing as the day goes on.

I'm bored of posting the same thing now so will go away but just one more time - I still don't see what all the fuss is about, I think it's fine.

DumbledoresFairy · 15/12/2006 12:30

KTeePee - I completely agree. I was looking for a reason to come here less. Now I have found one.

I can't even find easily how to add a message when I find a thread I can bear to read.

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:29

Why is this thread so wide. they are not all like this are they. Some have ads down both sides? Havn't seen a split one yet either.

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:29

LOL Jools! I feel very skittish without my usual munkeriness on.

I'm echoing your thoughts though? Now that's worrying

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:29

Personally, I think you should have advertised for a designer who knows MN and loves it. That person would have been much more astute to what what actually would work on here.
Haven't we got loads of designers on here?

tessasmum · 15/12/2006 12:28

Oh dear, I don't like this at all.

As someone with dodgy eyesight the fonts are far too small and the type is far too squashed up. I am REALLY struggling to work out what is what.

Has the designer looked at the RNIB guidelines for web design? Not saying it all needs to be included but there is a lot of sensible advice on how to make things clear and easy to read.
We are busy people, usually with children on our laps, and need an easy to use site. This isn't easy at the moment.

onzephyrstdayofchristmas · 15/12/2006 12:27

NO no no no no no no no!!! Wtf have you done?!?!? Please put it back!!!

I've got to use the bar at the bottom of the page to read the end of the posts.. what's that all about!?

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:27

This surprises me too. I can't see that there is anything 'special' and arty farty on here. So why couldn't Tech do it?

Visual flair? Haven't seen it
