It's a bit, um, cramped I think

I may get used to it but I'm not sure I like it

Anyone else have any strong feelings about it?

Tee2072 · 27/01/2012 07:58

I think it's cramped as well. Maybe just a bit more leading?

hocuspontas · 27/01/2012 08:06

Can't see any difference. Although I'm a Classic girl so maybe we have been left alone.

crazynanna · 27/01/2012 08:14

I thought it was my laptop Confused

I don't really like it TBH

MmeLindor. · 27/01/2012 09:00

I think it is a bit more cramped and less easy to read.

What do you mean, leading?

SilentBoob · 27/01/2012 09:03

I'm classics as well.

Was assuming that tech was just fiddling with some code - surely they're not planning on keeping it all squished up?

PaschaAndCustard · 27/01/2012 09:04

Looks ok to me, is it neater? Can't actually remember what it looked like before TBH.

BertieBotts · 27/01/2012 09:17

It's too squished up. I find it really hard to read.

The "Most Active" tab next to discussions of the day is really squashed up too.

OnlyANinja · 27/01/2012 09:19

It's gone all cramped. I'm not convinced it was done on purpose...

ThePinkPussycat · 27/01/2012 09:35

No, deffo need a blank line to separate posts. I thought it could be a mistake, hence looking here thinking to mention it...

IWantMyHatBack · 27/01/2012 09:36

I was just going to post about this - it looks awful and it much harder to scan for new posts.. I dont like it at all.

I don't think it's deliberate though

AnonymousBird · 27/01/2012 09:37

What's going on, MN looks AWFUL this morning... bleugh.

Don't think it's deliberate, suspect it's a glitch (Right, MNHQIT????!)

RebeccaMumsnet · 27/01/2012 10:02

Thanks for letting us know.
We will speak to Tech.

MmeLindor, leading is the space between lines iirc, or it could be between words, or is that kerning Confused

AnonymousBird , is it the whole of MN for you or just I'm on?

BertieBotts · 27/01/2012 10:04

Kerning is the spaces between individual letters.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 27/01/2012 10:04

leading and kerning... hot metal terminology in the techie age.

RebeccaMumsnet · 27/01/2012 10:05

Ok yes, leading is the line space, kerning is the space between characters Grin

SoupDragon · 27/01/2012 10:05

Mine looks exactly the same as it always has.

AnonymousBird · 27/01/2012 10:08

For me, it's I'm On plus the lists of Discussions of the Day and Most Activeup in the right hand corner all squished in too.... That's not so bad, but the I"m On list makes the eyes boggle!!

Thanks MNHQ.

Daftapath · 27/01/2012 11:15

Glad it's not just my eyes!

It's difficult to distinguish between the thread title and the name of the first poster in the list. Don't know if it is because the type is the same size or the leading is wrong [doesnt know what she talking about]

RebeccaMumsnet · 27/01/2012 11:18

Turns out it was a small bug in the system.
Tech are working on it and the problem should be resolved soon.

Thanks for letting us know.

MmeLindor. · 27/01/2012 11:20

Oh, thanks Rebecca. I have learned something today.

Will drop that into conversation with my Dad, just to please him.

QED · 27/01/2012 11:24

I'm a classic person and my threads I'm on is a bit squashed. Active conversations seems to be going further over to the left - the m logo on the stickies isn't totally all there but you can't scroll over at all.

Daftapath · 27/01/2012 11:54

That's better, thankyou Tech.

More space between thread title and the bullet points back for each post/er. Amazing what you don't notice until it is gone!

Tee2072 · 27/01/2012 11:58

Leading and kerning still very much used in the electronics age!

[geeky graphic artist of print and digital medium emoticon]

Looks much better now!

PinotMN · 27/01/2012 12:12

Well I never knew that about keening and leading.

I rilly hope it comes up in a Pub Quiz so I can look a right nerdy swot.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 27/01/2012 12:13

and how are we pronouncing leading, ladies?
