Hmm.
I hate change -I'm well known as a grumpy ol' stick in the mud!
I know we had to change, Yodie, to make the forum compatible with new server programmes, but how much adjustment can we make? Constructive criticism- is the red background brighter than before? Or is there more of it or something? The categories listed above the "Post Reply" box don't show up very well against a red background -could they be put in a white or cream box? Also the white lettering in the cream/brown boxes -same thing. Doesn't show up too well -could it be made bolder? Are the categories on the home page in smaller boxes than before?

Or am I just getting old & my eyesight's starting to go?
Overall though mate, it's fine. Well done Yodles.  Wink

Oh, & could the "Reply" & other buttons at the bottom of the page be made more obvious? Bolder maybe, so they're easier to spot for newbies & old gits with bad eyesight?
And can you make the "New" tabs, showing there's a new reply to a thread, red like they used to be?
Not moaning, trying to be constructive -honest.  Grin

Just think things could be bolder & easier to read.

Had to be done.
Yodie tells me all the servers are switching to a different system & it wouldn't recognise our old forum programme. Mr Yodles is constantly tweeking & tuning the website behind the scenes & slapping my hand away when I ask "What does this button do?" He continually receives updates for security & stuff but wouldn't be able to apply them to the old forum "skin".
Eveything changes & everything stays the same -almost.

Yes I can see the difference now!

Deffo need the "New" button to be coloured!  I expect Yoda will work his miracles gradually, can't know what the glitches are till they appear.
