It's ok - change is good!

Hello all,
A little bit of advance notice that we are planning to roll out our new look (as per the current home page) to the talk pages tomorrow morning (tech willing). It's mostly cosmetic stuff plus a few very slight modifications to improve functionality - a nip here, a change of hue there. Anyway we hope you like it and do, of course, let us know if there's anything you object to.
Best,
Mumsnet Towers

hello hello,
We're having a few minor issues putting this up, apologies and please bear with us. If you could give it a wee while to settle before you decide it's pants that would be great too Xmas Smile.

You love it then? I've added some space to active conversations. We are still ironing out some wrinkles as you can probably tell, but we are basically there...

Hello again.
Thank you all for your thoughts - we are working on a couple of general concerns:

The threads you've looked at changing colour and the spacing on active conversations/ threads I'm on etc. should be able to fix this no problem.
Do keep giving us your feedback - think like all new looks it may take a bit of getting used to.
Boden sale anyone?

Thread splitting is for functionality - it really does put a strain on things when everyone's trying to download a 600 post thread at once. However, we will be introducing a system whereby you can override the default and tailor Talk for yourself in the new year, so you'll be able to get rid of that on an individual basis. (More change - not sure we can cope Xmas Hmm.

Copied from other thread "Alright so change is not for everyone, we'll concede that!":
Ok here's the plan.
Now you mention it, we think you've all got a point about the wasted space on the left hand side of the screen (the beige bar)
so we will go back to our lovely designer (plse God she's not been reading this morning) and ask her to have ago at moving that navigation across the top of the page, so it's more like things were before and so there's more width for talk.

We will also continue to play with fonts, colours, spacing and hues until we silence (or at the very least quieten) the hue and cry...

Many thanks, as ever, for your input.

Ok so...

We recognise that the stuff across the top ie Active conversations links could be better and we are going to have another look at colours to see if we can keep them as clear as this old version but a bit less clashing. Are there any other major gripes/problems still?

Thanks PPH.

sorry PPH - not ignoring you just cross posting! Yes we'll try upping the font a bit - we are conscious that not everyone's on a big screen is all and these scroll down on smaller screens and take up the whole screen but agreed they are not clear as they are now, so we will do something.

Hey, nothing wrong with licking a bit of arse - particularly when you've spent all morning kicking it...

Hello,

Righty-ola, so we've done the last of today's little updates - to space out the stuff at top better and try reduce the number of colour clashes.

We are going to leave it alone now, but at some future point will prob revisit to change those text links at the top to something that takes up less space.....

Lossa love,
Tech
