New site design being tested!

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.

Me too, annsixty

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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"

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?

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

Shades of 'Allo, Allo.

Where did they go?

Can you see them now? Not a good example, but it seems to all have changed. Let's go back to the old format, in all things. Yes?

It is like that on mine and I absolutely hate it. GNHQ are going overboard now with the fiddling about and this is about the last straw. It's awful, bland, difficult to follow and an utter waste of someone's time and resources!

Now what have you done GN ? Why the horrible layout for 'I'm on' 'Last hour' etc? It is so hard to read

Does italics work again yet? Oh dear, obviously not

The worst part is that you get a Forum heading, on the left, and a subject, on the right. So if you click on the 'wrong' bit, you don't end up where you want to be. IYSWIM. Sorry, I need another cuppa right now. (And my back is aching from being out all day). But we did have a good time.

Just come online after being out all day. I thought the site was looking even worse than before, but thought it might just be that I was tired.

Then I read the posts and realised that GN's response to all our criticisms about the site being more difficult to read and navigate is to make it even worse!!

Do you think they are trying to close the site down on the sly. Make it harder and harder to use until we all give up so that they can close it from lack of users?

Well, the final straw would be if they give us some preposterous 'strapline' chosen by MN, which nobody wants and makes us sound like a load of old duffers with nothing else to do but potter around on here all day...

Just gone into 'Last 24 hours' and come straight out, I give up, I cannot cope with this new layout.

I only went down the first few threads on 'I am on'.

This site has become utterly unuseable.

Does anyone have a copy of the book 'Web design for Dummies' to sd the GN design team.

Oh my.

Absolutely horrible. Just posted about the changes in Last Hour and I'm on, on the petition thread. It looks wonky and unsightly and whyever has it been changed? I'm not happy GNHQ

It doesn't even line up properly. Looks very amateurish.

Have you looked at 'Last Hour'?

DGD could have done better.
She's 8.

Layout change again. Even worse than the previous one. Please can we have the original back.

It is awful.

Also I like to see what the last poster said as well as the name. That often tempts me to read the thread,
