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

If you'd like the text bigger, you can always change it by clicking on the slightly larger T at the very top of all our pages - next to 'free newsletter'.

I'll have a word with Tech and see where we're up to with emoticons.

Thank you Josie that's much better! I feel like Benny Hill's character that wore the very thick specs!! grin

Bumped for AlieOxon

I still don't like this width. Tried the bigger text but it kept changing itself from big to small and back again!
It just doesn't look right! [sulky emoticon] [fed up emoticon]

I don't like it - we were used to the way it was!
I don't mind scrolling more, Josie! And I'm sure it wasn't happening at the end of last week....hmm

"The idea was that you have to scroll less"? I have to scroll sideways now when I didn't before!
Not an improvement.

Yes, the print is too small and when you enlarge it on the iPad, you only get 1/3rd of the line - infuriating.

Ella46 Mon 11-Jun-12 21:30:23

Still slipping off the threads onto the forum page.

With these long lines I find myself hitting things I shouldn't when scrolling on my touch pad. I think we need at least a small margin.

We are not ignoring you promise - we have been up til the wee small hours knitting emoticons for future use.

We have also taken all your comments on board and will look at the issues

Hi Ella46 could you explain what you mean by 'slipping off the threads onto the forum page'? I'll have a word with Tech to see why the text might change from big to small and back.

Thanks for all your feedback, we'll have a think. Is everyone on this thread using tablets/phones? It would be good to hear any feedback (positive or negative) from people using computers.

Hi there. I am still using one of those old-fangled PCs and I am not experiencing any of the problems mentioned above!! grin

Wearing varifocals, I now have to move my head from side to side when reading these longer lines. Makes me feel seasick.

Anagram Tue 12-Jun-12 10:23:48

I only use a PC, so I haven't got problems with actually seeing/reading the posts, but the whole-page width doesn't look right. Most posts aren't so long that they need all that space!
It doesn't feel comfortable....

j04 Tue 12-Jun-12 11:15:55

You are ignoring us! You hardly say anything these days.

Huh!

j04 Tue 12-Jun-12 11:18:08

I think they've got to fill the space cos the advertisers don't want our money. hmm

j04 Tue 12-Jun-12 11:18:49

Although I can't remember how it used to be. confused as usual

Ella46 Tue 12-Jun-12 11:32:21

Josie sorry, I put that badly. After clicking on a thread, down to the bookmark, then it just flips back up to the page with all the choices along the line; Forums, Being a Gran etc.

Ella46 Tue 12-Jun-12 11:34:10

Forgot to say, I'm using a laptop.

Anagram Tue 12-Jun-12 11:35:59

The advertisers don't want our money? Shouldn't that be the other way round...? confused
