New site design being tested!

Sorry Auntieflo, can't see either picture on my PC...

The look has changed again. I've been out all day, and just logged on to find it's different. It used to look like Picture 1
Now it is like Picture 2. Is it like this for everyone?

Friday was very disappointing.
People will think we have a secret code.
"Does the red fox only come out on Friday night."
" Only when the moon is full"

A wise decision annsixty, much more comforting than reading the football results this week.

If anyone thinks I am spending too much time on here, a friend brought me some rhubarb and I have made a crumble which I am watching over through the glass door so that it doesn't burn.

GNHQ, can I ask when will the test be over so that we can go back to the previous appearance? Hardly anyone seems to think this is an improvement!!!

I am sorry if this has already been said but I always go to "I'm on" first and I don't like the subject heading and GN's first post all on same line - it's very confusing.

Me too, annsixty

AND you don't go to the last post on Last Hour. You have to go to the top of the thread and press last page then scroll down. Not a biggy in the scheme of things I know but that is what I was used to.

I agree!! If you must put subject and title on the same line, couldn't you at least show then in different colours?

It just gets worse and worse

How can we work out if we want to read a thread when the forum category and the title are run together on the same line?!

Please please please go back to previous layout for 'last hour' and 'I'm on' this is awful!! If it ain't broke don't fix it

mmmm not sure about the new new design, very wishy washy and when using 'I'm on' it is difficult to distinguish one thread from another.

No,no,no.

There is now a new setup for last hour. I do not like it at all. It is not in the order I am used to seeing.?

Now the 'last hour' button says there is nothing there ?! I know there is, because I just posted!!

Well said!

Do we know when the test has finished and we can go back to the site we were used to?

I cannot remember that Blinko but do recall an idea of some tie in with Mills and Boon for some unfathomable reason.

Not strictly on topic, but loosely related. A while back I seem to recall we were informed that GN had made links with AgeUK (or it could be t'other way round). I haven't seen any further reference to this 'partnership' if that's what it is.

How does it manifest itself, please? Does anyone know? Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

On the desktop site

At the top of the page

Orange buttons?!! Where?

I really don't like the orange buttons. Orange and purple looks horrible.
