Well done Stig

Your hard work is much appreciated (by some of us anyway )

Ooh - that was a bit of a shock!

Still, I found Active Convos quickly, which is the way I read MN, so it's all fine.

For the moment ...

Good work, TechsInTheShed

Well, I quite like the layout however.........I don't like the fact that the different colour thingy has disappeared from threads I have already looked at on the active page.

I liked that bit

And we didn't get any more emoticons

Threadworm · 30/01/2009 10:10

Thank you very much for the hard work, but it is a shame that there is now an automatic cut-off for thread titles over a fixed number of characters.

It means that many more thread titles are uninformative. It also means that well-composed/funny/etc thread titles lose an awful lot of force.

I really hope this can be changed. (And also that the font can be made bolder for those of us with less and perfect vision.)

MarsLady · 30/01/2009 10:10

You've worked hard Tech. Well done you.

I still don't like it though!

Gorionine · 30/01/2009 10:08

Well I am a bit split, I prefer to read the threads the way they are displayed now but I find it hard when going on "active" or "thread I am watching" It actually hurts my eyes to read the new way it is displayed!

Carmenere · 30/01/2009 10:07

Yes good job mn techs, well done

Macdog · 30/01/2009 10:07

I like it too.

Well done to all involved

ANTagony · 30/01/2009 10:06

Been on an hour or so now and worked out how to do it so that the active conversations are in different colour blocks. Its much better. Easier to read and looks cleaner Doesn't sort out my spelling and punctuation though !

Could someone at site sticky the changes post explaining how to make the best of the changes to the top of active conversations might help everyone else.

I prefer this layout tbh, nice work MNHQ!

fryalot · 30/01/2009 10:03

Well done for this thread, a HUGE amount of work obviously went into these changes and the techs have obviously been working ridiculous hours to do this for us.

I think I like it, but that's irrelevant at the moment.

Well done MNHQ. Now get some bloody kip!

sockmonkey · 30/01/2009 10:01

Well done on all the hard work tech. All those of you moaning remember "this too shall pass"

hippipotamiHasLostTwoPounds · 30/01/2009 09:58

I quite like this

Well done Tech. Now, my ds has a I am the Stig t-shirt, can we expect I am the Tech t-shirts anytime soon?

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 09:51

Don't think I was moaning just an opinion.

Well there seems to be more people moaning about it, than saying thankyou

bunch of criers

Teething problems are to be expected though

Fimbo · 30/01/2009 09:48

You have worked very hard and many thanks but sadly I don't like it at all.

TheThoughtPolice · 30/01/2009 09:46

I don;t really 'get' the new layout. Is there an option to change it back like we could when the 'pages' thing came out ?

I thought that when the new layout was mooted it was said that we didn't have to have it. Where is the 'change it back' button on my settings please ?

Molesworth · 30/01/2009 09:43

The new look is great! Well done to all

morningpaper · 30/01/2009 09:41

well done tech team

hope no one is crying in the toilets

HecateQueenOfGhosts · 30/01/2009 09:39

Yes. Thank you. It's not an easy task to sort out a site this size and all folks can do is moan.

Mean, mean people!

fwiw, I think this new layout is better than the last change and I think anyone finding MN at this point, will love it.
