I think it looks good.

I like it but as I said, a more bold use of bold would really cinch it form me.

Progress is generally, a good thing.

I don't like it (but I didn't like it the last time and I am mega change resistant!!)

But judging by the way it's suddenly all about the products I'm guessing it's the heavy hand of commercialism

If I can get classic will it go back to the way it was? (please)

The message last night when they were uploading it was seriously unpleasant and gave me the creeps

I don't like not being able to see all the thread titles under topics

All the white space does look clean though

Oh my God, does it have a spell checker in the message box before you post, brilliant!!
Clever clever Mumsnet! (except that Mumsnet shows as a spelling error in mine!)

I've tried setting the text size to 'smallest' but it hasn't solved the problem, just made every other site I want to go on too small to read.
I've never shouted on MN before, or sworn or got in an arguement but this is really starting to upset me. The last thing I want to do is leave but I can't see that I'm going to have much choice if I can't put things back to 'normal' .

RustyBear · 31/01/2009 00:00

The 'Show All' link I mentioned was to get all the topics to show on the Topic page - not anything to do with pixel's problem. The blue bat is just above the list of topics & has Talk Topics in white at the left hand end and a link to Show all in a sort of blue-grey colour on the right.

The only thing I can think of to solve the scrolling problem is to reduce the text size by zooming (ctrl&scroll wheel, or ctrl&-) but that may make it too small to read.

Rusty, You are currently my favourite saviour of all time! Thank you so much. I'm one of the people who have been on several threads all night and been feeling sick scrolling along every line - was about to flounce too!!!

trixymalixy · 30/01/2009 23:48

I don't mind it at home, but at work when i have to have the window reduced in size, it is a pain to have to scroll from side to side.

Also i'd prefer to see the whole titles on active convos so it's easier to avoid certain threads.

lessonlearned · 30/01/2009 23:44

Rusty where is the blue bar? i'm having the same prob as pixie and about to flounce! it's making me feel sick!

EsmeWeatherwax · 30/01/2009 23:40

I like it, although I hated it at first. I like the white space...

Pixel · 30/01/2009 23:40

I will like it IF SOMEONE TELLS ME HOW TO GET EVERYTHING TO FIT ON THE SCREEN. I am sick of scrolling to and fro and it is IMPOSSIBLE to follow a long thread. There's really no point if I can't read the stupid thing is there?

skramble · 30/01/2009 23:33

please tell me how to get it back to mn classic. pretty please.

ilovemydogandMrObama · 30/01/2009 23:30

I heart it! Hated it at first with the small stuff, got my glasses out but then DP did something and now that I can see it, it's great!

RustyBear · 30/01/2009 23:29

I remember you were having a hissy fit reservations about Firefox 3 a while ago. Have you sorted it, or are you still getting this?

samsonara · 30/01/2009 23:27

I'm all for change!..er but only if I say something needs changing ..yeah I hope I will get used to it and if I don't maybe I'll take a break so that my brain can forget the old way and then I won't know any different.

Monkeytrousers · 30/01/2009 23:24

I will get used to it

I am an adaptionationst after all

UnquietDad · 30/01/2009 23:22

Rusty - yes, am a Foxer. Done it now - thanks!

hatwoman · 30/01/2009 23:22

but can anyone tell me how to get classics back? I've read all the threads but still can#t get it to work. or would telling me be disloyal?

RustyBear · 30/01/2009 23:21

That was to UQD by the way.

Did f5 not uncramp it for you UQD? Try Shift f5 (or according to some authorities ctrl f5, or if you haven't yet abandoned Firefox, ctrl-R
