I do! The blue is very restful.

OP posts:
New posts on this thread. Refresh page
MegBusset · 30/01/2009 18:49

Ooh, that's better! I have a bit of breathing space round the edges now.

MmeJaffaB · 30/01/2009 17:26

I like it, except for the huge white margins down each side? Waste of screen space IMO.

Just as easy peasy to get round compared to some other sites I've looked at and can not decipher for the life of me.

pointydog · 30/01/2009 16:54

ah. ok. I've pressed refresh and that is much better.

pointydog · 30/01/2009 16:50

are you joking. Text squashed right up against another ridiculously long row of text?

Can we talk about White Space please. Or any colour of space, really. Of defining boundaries, where one thing starts and another ends.

SlightlyMadScotland · 30/01/2009 16:36

on teh whole I like it.

I would prefer the main font of the posts to be a bit darker as it is straining my eyes...but I could probably get used to teh little things that feel out of place....cos they only feel out of place because they are new and I know I will get used to them.

MegBusset have you tried to change it in Customize? If not, try going into Customise, change the Colour Scheme to Mumsnet New and Save Changes. See if that has any effect.

MegBusset · 30/01/2009 15:23

Have done Shift + Refresh in Safari and Firefox, no joy...

LongDroopyBoobyLady · 30/01/2009 14:23

I'm on Safari and everything is great for me. I love the new look.

Threadworm · 30/01/2009 14:20

We still aren't getting the full thread titles.

fishie · 30/01/2009 13:20

i really like it too but i wish the rhs would wrap when the window is minimised. or am i on wrong view or setting?

hunkermunker · 30/01/2009 13:10

Meg, hold shift and click the refresh button if you haven't already. I'm using Firefox and mine's fine.

VampiresWalkin · 30/01/2009 13:06

It is central on my firefox

MegBusset · 30/01/2009 13:05

Hello, not sure if someone has mentioned this but when viewing in Firefox or Safari the text is right up against the left-hand side of the browser -- making it really hard to read. Is this being looked at?

VampiresWalkin · 30/01/2009 13:05

Oops

VampiresWalkin · 30/01/2009 13:05

nOPE THEY DON'T

Scorta - white space/ ads in wrong place in MN classic and muted options should be fixed now.

KayHarker - thread titles should wrap now

Let us know if not.

Apologies for frustration.

VampiresWalkin · 30/01/2009 12:59

THAT'S who you are B&J!

Tortington · 30/01/2009 12:59

i quite like it

hunkermunker · 30/01/2009 12:58

Dammit re mother, Benny Hope she doesn't find you now! Will think of you posting as wearing a trilby and false tache now

ROFL at outlining eyelashes! I'm still at the "draw a house with a window each side of the door, path up to door and garden each side of path with lying down fence" stage of drawing, I'm afraid - though there's something v comforting about doing it

UpSinceCrapOClock · 30/01/2009 12:06

hunker - hide that pen where you can't see it - your pictures will never be the same again and your fridge door will thank you for it's refreshing new artwork.

(I still have a picture I drew of my older sister where I outlined everything in thick black felt - including eyelashes (both top and bottom) and it took me ages to work ouy why it looked 'wrong'. I showed my sister when I came across it a few years ago and all she could say was 'flippin 'eck, my eyelashes must have really made a big impression on you')

BennyAndJoon · 30/01/2009 11:41

I just fancied a change (and my mum doesn't know about this one as far as I know )

I am in my last day of work today, just taken Vol Redundancy, and am now looking for a job darn sarth

Keep an eye out for my panicy thread about being unemployed

Scorta · 30/01/2009 11:21

I have to scroll down half a page past the terrible adverts to see anything on the page - there is a huge chunk of white on the right.

hunkermunker · 30/01/2009 11:20

USCOC, whaddya mean, "used to when you were little"?

hunkermunker · 30/01/2009 11:19

FLETCH! How've you beeeen?

What's with the new name?

BennyAndJoon · 30/01/2009 11:14

I like it too

I haven't gone to custmise yet - I was on discrete anyway
