Why are my 'watching', 'unanswered', 'last hour' and 'last day' boxes empty? I can only access the threads via 'active'. Hope it is you and not me! sad

Sorry GNHQ there are three on 'last day' that have the wrong heading and default to forums!! it is a movable feast ...rats about?? grin

If it ain't broke...springs to mind! confused

AlieOxon Wed 13-Jun-12 19:44:50

Yeah. How about putting it back?

We're happy to hear so many opinions on this, and have asked for more from our newsletter to see what others think. We'll leave it a bit longer, and if the consensus is to change it back, of course we'll do so.

Update on 'Last Day' issues - Tech is working on a permanent fix on this over the next few days, meanwhile we're doing our best to make it fix itself temporarily while that is going on. Do bear with us - and feel free to use Active for a few days instead.

Thanks, Josie.

Must admit, I never use 'Last Day' or 'Last Hour' now. It doesn't take long to scroll down the Active thread, and they're all in time order anyway.

I always use 'Last Hour' first, then 'I'm on' followed by 'Active' and finally 'Unanswered.'

Ella46 Thu 14-Jun-12 15:11:49

I just use Active and find I don't have enough hours in the day for any other threads!

I find the wide posts more difficult to read, perhaps it's to do with wearing varifocals as others have mentioned, you have to move your head from side to side - it's like watching tennis!
If you want my vote - it's to go back to the narrow posts please, I find them much easier

yogagran Thu 14-Jun-12 15:16:53

Sorry - I should have said that I use a mixture of main computer with normal screen, laptop, tablet and smart phone. Wide posts are awkward on all of them sad

Anagram Thu 14-Jun-12 15:29:13

Can we have a vote?

Ella46 Thu 14-Jun-12 17:16:38

Still whizzing me back to home page occasionally!

shysal Thu 14-Jun-12 17:32:24

If we are voting I say prefer shorter lines.

Bonmama Thu 14-Jun-12 19:01:29

Sorry but I am an iPad grandma and am not keen on the new wide screen, have given up reading some posts already. Well, not quite but just wanted to make a point!!!

Ella46 Thu 14-Jun-12 19:26:42

Somehow it just doesn't seem like home hmm

whenim64 Thu 14-Jun-12 19:35:44

I keep clicking on certain posts and getting others, or it defaults back to home page. Getting irritating now!

AlieOxon Fri 15-Jun-12 06:45:03

PLEASE - put the lines back as they were!

GeraldineGransnet (GNHQ) Fri 15-Jun-12 10:25:59

Thanks very much for the feedback everyone. Looks like we'll have to put these back. We'll leave it over the weekend to collect any more views,. but it looks like a thumbs down for wide lines.

cupcake (because it's Friday).

Thank you smile

Faye Fri 15-Jun-12 19:07:02

Great, I tried to get used to the wide lines but it's not working for me on my iPad. I have to keep scrolling up to click on the T.

AlieOxon Sat 16-Jun-12 17:42:36

Good.

whenim64 Sat 16-Jun-12 17:53:00

Thank goodness for that - my iPad was ready to throw itself under a bus!!

Anagram Sun 17-Jun-12 18:54:54

Just to report that the 'Knickers!' thread has gone missing....confused

Anagram Sun 17-Jun-12 19:03:33

Well, it definitely HAD! I double-checked!
Oh well, it's back now! smile
