New site design being tested!

If it's a lesbian relationship, BlueBelle, they've obviously had a row as the one at the front (supposed to be older?) is facing away from the others!

We may be OLD but we're not OLD-FASHIONED!!

There's a clarity that I like. This change coincided with doing a complete factory reset on my iPad - so not sure who's done what. Anyway, it's a 'go' from me.

However, think the logo is a cop-out.

Apologies in advance as I haven't read through all the posts so this may e a repeat ... I just wonder, as there are male members, if the logo should include a male figure too?

Otherwise - all seems clear and as easy to use as ever, thank you.

No problem with the font, but on my iPad the overall effect of a number of shades of grey. No, I haven't counted them.

I would prefer the poster's name to appear against a coloured background, as in the past. Without that the whole page looks rather boring.

Font a bit Janet and John - "Easy Readers For Your Four Year Old".

I'm not keen on the 'Active' button, I keep getting all the forums coming up not just the active ones. Are they closer together?

I don't have a logo at the bottom of the page Cherrytree only the top a maroon lady with a bun, another lady (lesbian relationship) and as someone said a merkaat sat in the middle and Kittylester I totally agree I would like to know who started the thread too shouldn't be hard to do

Oh dear, I don't like it either, particularly the lack of definition

Help ma Bob

Why is there no last (page) on soop's kitchen
Just first, pre and next??

Like the gransnet logo at bottom of screen with the 3 generations.

But maybe one should be a Grandad.
Or a Gran and Grandad with grandchildren ( and not just a GD)

Heck

I have noticed long posts take up the whole screen on my tablet and some because of the print size.

Having to keep scrolling just to read/get through a thread.

Surely if a poster requires a bigger print, for whatever reason, they would set their tablet to their own personal required font size.

Sorry to be negative but I genuinely do not see the point or what this is supposed to achieve GNHQ.

But why the need to change?
Especially when our main gripe - lack of an edit button - has been ignored.

Sorry I don't like it either. The old way was easier to read

Sorry but I don't like it.

My problem is with the colour .

It has no definition between posts other than the poster name as it is so wishy washy.

I do have PVD (posterior vitreous detachment) of the eye which causes me to have a minor issue with vision but I don't think that's the problem but genuinely find 'the flow' of reading posts now irritating.

I use the mobile site all the time and I don't think it looks much different. However the logo is just the banner at the top, no people. They are there at the bottom though.
I really like the way Mnet highlights the OP and then any additional OP posts, it's much easier to follow.
Can we have that please? ?

I have said, quite a few times, that I would like to know who started a thread. I think you are ignoring me!!

Just realised. The thread heading 'New site design being tested!' is a good example of a sans serif font. Why can't we have more of that and less of the old Times Roman type of style?

There are customise buttons for certain options. Could these be added to so that we could choose our own font/size and colours? This new wishy-washy colour scheme is simply not clear enough. (Interesting to know that the font size can be adjusted via a control button. There isn't a control button on an iPad).

I absolutely agree with everything M0nica said. I find it very difficult to focus on and have had to make an effort to read to the end in order to comment.

I like it! I use the desktop site on my tablet and find it easier to read now, it's clearer and quicker to navigate.

Blue Belle I get the same colours as you, or no colour, is it because you are using an iPad? Looking at the mobile version from an iPad and everything is so much clearer. With any luck HQ will improve on what it is now.

Not keen on the new logo, as old fashioned as the last one.

The logo still seems a bit old-fashioned.

I hate serif fonts! - too fussy

Any font sans serif looks more modern and less fussy. Don' t see how I can show examples here but suggest googling font styles and you'll see lots of clear and up-to-date styles.
