We're VERY excited to announce that we are finally testing out a new site design! We've been working really hard to make sure it's easier to user and looks neater than the current format.

It is a test though and it may take a day or two to get used to. Apologies in advance for any teething problems - hopefully they'll be minimal. If you have any major problems logging in or you can't access certain things please post on this thread or email us at contactus. We'd love to have your thoughts. smile

Last hour??

Ana Tue 22-Aug-17 17:17:52

And the italics function is finally fixed!! Thank you!! grin

Subject and title no longer merged in last hour etc. so they are getting there. I don't mind the new design so much now, I am getting used to it. However, I still think there should be a granddad on the logo.

Yes I noticed my posts in pink now. Good idea.
Getting used to it. hmm

Bellanonna Tue 22-Aug-17 16:47:38

nina I'm On and Last Hour still take me to page 1. I usually use my iPad.

Bellanonna Tue 22-Aug-17 16:46:14

Much easier to read now, thanks GN. All the usernames are black, own posts a pretty shade of mauve, OP is blue and so are posts from HQ. Much more pleasant to read. I don't have a problem with the font.

On my pc, the OP is green and my own comments are pink. I quite like it. So far, so good.

Still prefer sans serif typeface though hmm

"I'm on" on mobile takes you to last post for each thread. Same as before.

ninathenana Tue 22-Aug-17 12:34:03

Pink not link

ninathenana Tue 22-Aug-17 12:33:31

Todays colour changes will take a little time to get used to.
Why swap the link and blue of GNHQ and my posts confused
I see OP is now green.
Everyones user name is blue in my phone.

I'm on the pc devongirl! Haven't checked the mobile site yet.

Oh, I see you are purple now grin

DanniRae Tue 22-Aug-17 11:16:33

Thank you for making "I'm on" easier to use - I am a happy Gransnetter now!! smile.
And I like my posts being pinky purple - so thanks for that too smile

devongirl Tue 22-Aug-17 10:40:06

No! I tell a lie! I have become purple! that will make life easier, a change for the better for once!

devongirl Tue 22-Aug-17 10:39:18

I'm using a PC and not purple! Will this be following later?

Ana Tue 22-Aug-17 10:34:37

Hmm...

durhamjen Tue 22-Aug-17 10:27:35

I've gone purple. That's good. I can see how much I've written on each thread.
Will it make me write less, I wonder.

Jalima1108 Mon 21-Aug-17 20:19:25

That was it Marydoll!

Brain like a sieve, that's me.

If you are on a PC, hold down Control key and use the wheel on your mouse to make print larger or smaller.

Jalima1108 Mon 21-Aug-17 19:57:43

or you can zoom (top righthand on my pc).

Jalima1108 Mon 21-Aug-17 19:56:43

Anya are you on a pc, someone posted how to make the font larger (I've forgotten how for the moment, but will try to remember).

Lona Mon 21-Aug-17 19:19:54

The mobile site is great, have any of you tried it? All the names are blue though.

Bellanonna Mon 21-Aug-17 19:16:54

Also, posting is so sluggish. It takes ages to for a post to get "posted". Hope you're taking notice of all these points GN. Still can't get my eyes round that horrible mess on the r/h side either.

Bellanonna Mon 21-Aug-17 10:08:38

"I'm on" used to bring me to the top of the last page. Now it's back to page one. Not a huge problem, but why change it?

Anya Mon 21-Aug-17 08:40:34

The font is so small and undefined that I'm having to pack in for now as it's hurting my eyes,

durhamjen Mon 21-Aug-17 00:35:49

I'm On seems to be difficult to use now.
No differentiation between the headings and the text.
