What prompted this change?

Personally, I think you should have advertised for a designer who knows MN and loves it. That person would have been much more astute to what what actually would work on here.
Haven't we got loads of designers on here?

LOL Jools! I feel very skittish without my usual munkeriness on.

I'm echoing your thoughts though? Now that's worrying

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:29

Why is this thread so wide. they are not all like this are they. Some have ads down both sides? Havn't seen a split one yet either.

DumbledoresFairy · 15/12/2006 12:30

KTeePee - I completely agree. I was looking for a reason to come here less. Now I have found one.

I can't even find easily how to add a message when I find a thread I can bear to read.

I love the way it's changing as the day goes on.

I'm bored of posting the same thing now so will go away but just one more time - I still don't see what all the fuss is about, I think it's fine.

EmkanaCookTurkeyLikeICan · 15/12/2006 12:30

It's gradually becoming more like it was...

the mind boggles that MN towers might have paid someone for all this, only for it to end up the same as it was in the end!

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:30

oOH, THE BAR'S GONE FROM THE LEFT.

i PREFER THAT.

Er. Soz for CAPS - got excited

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:31

Oh, that's weird, I posted and now the page fits the screen again, how did I do that?

nutcracker · 15/12/2006 12:31

Ok now thats a bit better at least.

EmkanaCookTurkeyLikeICan · 15/12/2006 12:32

Now they just need to fit "threads I'm on" and all that in somewhere

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:32

Are they changing as I post. Can't find how to get back to active convos now.

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:33

Now make the links to all convos, etc bigger at the top and we're getting somewhere (well, going back to what it was like)

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:33

Oh it's up there ^ now.

Oh this is MUCH better

CouldEquallyHaveBeenAnAardvark · 15/12/2006 12:33

Actually, can you make the fonts for the links a bit smaller, only I can nearly read it atm and surely that's not the idea?

[squints]

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:33

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Now how much better is that?

It's like someone has turned the light switch on

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:34

pmsl Aardvark

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 15/12/2006 12:34

Ah - The power - mwahhhaahhaa

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:34

blimey it's changing as I post

tortoiseBells · 15/12/2006 12:35

Oh really don't like it - feel very disenfranchised! I think it was fine the way it was....but never mind!

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:35

oh lovely the active convos list looks familiar now too - hurrah!

WhyDooLittleStarsShine · 15/12/2006 12:36

Heck! Now what's happened.

onzephyrstdayofchristmas · 15/12/2006 12:36

'Threads I'm on' - Can we have it back please?!

Oh, and while you're playing about, can we please have an emoticon of a topless Gordon Ramsay in a santa hat if we type [fword]?????

Avalon · 15/12/2006 12:36

I really hate this new layout, colours, font changes ... EVERYTHING.

Think I'll check back in the New Year to see if it's back to normal.

Still, leaves a gap in the market for an easy to read, easy to use site, doesn't it?
