I'm all thrown by it! I'm getting too lod for change! I like the Angels icon thing - that's lovely but there are no lines any where. I feel a little faint.

If you click "show all" at the top on the Talk Topics (there's a link at the top of this page to topics) it looks quite a bit like the old discussions list.

Very hard to read and it doesn't seem to flow. I can't keep track of what I have read and haven't, but then I am old!

alibubbles · 30/01/2009 15:50

I used to be addicted, but I have only visited once today, to make a comment. I really find it very confusing!

It doesn't fir the page properly and the message box overlaps the text on the side, perhaps that just because I am a mac user

I hate it

Like puppy, hate the way in "last 15 minutes" and "I'm on" you can only see the last post now. Before you could see several posts and who they were by, and get an idea of whether it was worth launching back in or not. Now I look and think "Mmm, can't be bothered."

Plus the fact threads you were on are no longer highlighted.

Justine and co I think you are going to have to offer a clear explanation somewhere we can all find it of what to do. Was all this done to distract people from moldies. Or was it a clever moldies' sabotage plot?

MaryAnnSingleton · 30/01/2009 15:55

Please please can you make the thread titles bolder - they just blend into everything else - underline,highlight or something

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2009 18:12

right managed to find most of my fav topics like tv,food, aibu, pets,childcare section but where the hell is chat?

Moondancer · 30/01/2009 18:19

Its carp now - hate the white borders.

dramaqueen · 30/01/2009 18:25

I can't understand why the thread titles are not written out in full. It makes scanning down to find a thread very difficult. Also there is too much of a gap at the top of the screen where the mumsnet logo is, so you only see the first few threads on AC>

SpandexIsMyEnemy · 30/01/2009 18:41

I don't like it, I can't find anything,

while I appreciate a lot of time went into it - this new one all seems less cosy - it's less formal (althou that might just be cos i've been away for a good week or so)

can't we have the options thing back again so we can have the old layouts?

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2009 18:58

found chat

im not blonde for nothing

SugarBird · 30/01/2009 19:28

I don't have a left-hand margin at all when I'm reading messages and the text is butted right up against the edge of the screen (so I'm confused by people saying all the text is down the middle and there are massive white margins!) It makes the text really difficult to read...anyone know how to change it?

columbolover · 30/01/2009 19:29

In the words of 2 year old ds - "no like it!" feels sort of less "friendly" - can't explain what I mean when I say that, and was reminded of babycentre when I logged on. Am off to drink some wine, perhaps that will help get me used to it!

lessonlearned · 30/01/2009 23:01

Please somebody help! I can't keep moving the bar across the screen to read the end of every line! I feel seasick already. PLEASE tell me how to make it stop!!

tootiredtothink · 30/01/2009 23:09

Haven't decided if I like it or not .

You see Tech, we do need a confused emoticon.

tootiredtothink · 30/01/2009 23:10

Ooh, not keen on that.........

When I posted it threw me back to beginning of the thread .

tootiredtothink · 30/01/2009 23:11

.......and again .

tootiredtothink · 30/01/2009 23:12

Gosh, I could go on and on with that one!!

samsonara · 30/01/2009 23:18

I can't put my finger on it, but something isn't quite right, it doesn't feel easy on the ol' eyes. I've checked in several times today and not been able to stay long enough to work it out. Maybe it will take getting used too, but I do seem to be squinting at the screen more.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/01/2009 00:25

have to say i am getting used to it now - (taken a day )have found all my favs topics, havent got small print, i do have white borders, but doesnt bother me

but

still would like read/replied threads to be in different colour so easy to find

sure mn will manage to sort this out

I've adjusted! I like it!
It's a bit too faint this light blue but I'm getting with the programme.

If it's any help to anyone, I've just discovered that when I'm using Safari (I've got a Mac)the new boards are quite difficult to read but when I use Firefox it's fine - so a change of browser might help with other problems [hopeful emoticon].
