the blue nicknames are lovely (were they that colour before?)
i love the 'add a amessage button - and end to all that scrolling, thank you.

Twiglett · 15/12/2006 12:50

That's better .. although you need to add another line break under the bar with the poster name on it .. because its too crushed

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 15/12/2006 12:51

Thankyou for putting the colour back!!!

IdrisTheRedNosedDragon · 15/12/2006 12:51

This is all quite funny really .

Have the festive smileys come back yet?

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 12:51

Twig you're just being picky now!

Much better!

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 15/12/2006 12:54

foxtrottothefestivegrotto, there was always an add button, wasn't there? I have used it, sure of it!

LadyTophamHatt · 15/12/2006 12:54

I've been a Mner for almost 4 yrs.

Seen lots of argy bargies, lots of flounces, lots of trolls, lots of newcomers all sorts of shananigans (but only one possible lawsiut)

I do not recall EVER seeing JanH swear. EVER!!

IMO it's thanks to Jan that the cahnges are going back to the way we prefer.

ALL HAIL JanH!!!

foxtrottothefestivegrotto · 15/12/2006 12:55

Was there? . Well now i've found it, i'm thrilled!

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 15/12/2006 12:55

Can you get rid of the black outline round the blue boxes with the posters name/time/date in. It makes them stand out too much. And looks like when you were in Primary School and just had to outline all your pictures in black.

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 15/12/2006 12:56

lol, fox...add away!

tortoiseBells · 15/12/2006 12:57

Thanks!

Mercy · 15/12/2006 12:59

I didn't know about the add button either foxtrot - explains why my posts are always miles behind!

Flamesparrow · 15/12/2006 13:03

My messages aren't sending!

Please can we make the font bigger or bolder or something... its too little and is hurting my head.

munz · 15/12/2006 13:07

much better thank towers

flame do u have dial on your mouse? if u hold ctrl and move the dial up/down the font/screen gores bigger/smaller.

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 15/12/2006 13:09

I think it's the line spacing rather than the font size. It's all scrunched up no matter how big you make the font.

StrawberrySnowflakes · 15/12/2006 13:10

..i post that i didnt like it, went to look disparingly for my messages and had to re log in???..then when i cam back, my message i posted wasnt here???
i do not like it, its all one big blur and very uneast to read, im off to do some work!

Chloewhitechristmas · 15/12/2006 13:11

Not sure if this has been mentioned but is there any chance of making thread headings stand out better - maybe in bold type because when you go into, say, last hour it all just looks clumped together and difficult to differentiate one thread from another, thanks.

santasaltire · 15/12/2006 13:12

Now that's better, i think.

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 15/12/2006 13:12

I think the answer is to have them in alterating colours that will make them stand out

OP posts:
StrawberrySnowflakes · 15/12/2006 13:14

up top of page needs to be properly spaced and larger, even on main page it looks like someone has forgot to put spaces in!

MascaraOHara · 15/12/2006 13:16

I posted this on the other thread as well but just in case it's missed there...

It's better.

A grid or a different font would help the Active Convo's page.. so it's easier to distinguish between topic and title (rather than bullets and then one long chunk of the same text)

Also the Preview and Post buttons are still to close to the box at the bottom.

Can you tell what line of work I'm in?

it looks a bit busy at the top and squashed together but that could just be my REs. I guess.
