Please make font size bigger and space out the bits at the top, then I can accept it

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 13:54

turuoise eyeshadow BAD too!

MistleToo · 15/12/2006 13:55

the turquoise text is very difficult to read I have to agree

melsy · 15/12/2006 13:56

My poor overwhelmed headcant take all this change , its like someone taking away my comfy slippers , wanna cry !!!

The turqoise is nice , but really hard to read against the white background.

Yes also find black border around names hard to look at, its like a banging sensation in the head .

I cant face navigating all this today , got to have a clear head.

the pale 3D effect around the posters name was quite a funky effect I thought

alison222 · 15/12/2006 14:06

the menu bar at the top with active convos etc is too small - too squashed to the left without enough spaces so you can't read which is which. The coulour is too pale and doesn't change after you have clicked on it .

Also when looking at conversations in the last hour, the disctinction between each thread is minimal making it difficult to see where one ends and another starts.

not fussed about the changes but am seriously impressed that MNTowers did something that made JanH swear - it feels very weird, like hearing your teacher swear!

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 15/12/2006 14:37

MUCH better!

blueamema · 15/12/2006 14:43

How confusing!!!

Everything is to small... have to wear glasses anyway to magnify stuff, but this is just silly!

Do you hire web designers at mnet?

Have never been impressed with layout of threads, there so hard to scroll down as thread headings aren't in bold or highlighted.

Love this site! but this is just crazy!!!
Make it easy to use and more people will use it.

Its FINE now!!!

MerryMellowmas · 15/12/2006 14:52

But why was it changed?

Don't like it, have to say. Looks very amateurish

Tinker · 15/12/2006 19:00

Looks like change for changes sake

RTKangaSANTAMummy · 15/12/2006 19:12

Please make the text bigger

cos the text can be made smaller on the computer but I can't get it bigger cos it is set to the LARGEST atm

StrawberrySnowflakes · 15/12/2006 19:14

myrrhthamoo · 15/12/2006 19:15

While we're having requests...

can we have a "Threads I'll be Interested In" button ?

wickedwinterwitch · 15/12/2006 19:36

Oh god, I HATE this new layout. Even with my text size set at largest it's too small. Oh, it's horrible, vile.
