Does anyone else think the new site is difficult to use?
is it just me or is this so much more difficult than the old site? and most of it doesn't work !!
Thoughts?
Welcome to the forum smile
Have you tried clearing your history and cookies? I had the same early and that sorted it out :)

I agree, a little too busy. Certainly not an issue with cookies and for me the content works. The search page is now horrible though. The text is too similar to be able to see between peoples titles, whether they are online and the body of their texts. The serach function of specifying whether someone is new. online recently etc etc still doesnt seem to work.
I rather like it meself.
Yes there will be a few problems, but am sure it will get sorted.
We had another thread about the same thing:
http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/swingers-forum/viewtopic/301736.html
A lot of the site resources have been replaced so your browser may still have the old ones cached. Refreshing each page using Ctrl+F5 will sort that out, or do what Anais said and clear your internet cache completely.

Re Vamped sites are always difficult to navigate around we find, it took ages for us to work out how you send an invite to look at an album .. lol

There used to be a "who's on line" button on pervious site and you could see who is on line and how far from you there are!,
does anyone know where that is on new site?

Click home under My account on left hand side of screen - its on that page smile
It's new and I hate it .....Bring back the steam powered one
Takes a little getting used to. One thing I do not like is that we have more than one private album and now have to invite freinds to each one seperately instead of ticking a few boxes:mad:

Be careful Trav, I did that and upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and when I now try to post in here, if my typing goes beyond the size of the text box and has to scroll down, the cursor in the box keeps jumping to the top of the page and is a nightmare to try and edit the writing or type accurately.
Other than that, it's great though.

The first time I saw the new layout I sank into depression.
Know I am getting my head around it.
i dont particularily like the new look and find it hard to navigate and still havnt found all the things i used on the old site
also iv got a larger laptop screen and theres loads of wasted space either side of it
but im sure in time il get used to :smile:
I can not add pics to messages it allowed me once but not again.
It just comes up with a "Close" sign
Is these correct or is there something going wrong?
I really dont like the quote boxes in the forums being in white, the old back ones were far easier to read, now every bodies quotes just blend in together and its really confusing.
Could something be done about this please? :rose:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes the new quote boxes are a pain in the arse.
I'm having trouble changing my Avatar rolleyes
If someone could reconfirm file size, file type and file dimensions before I assume it's the site please?
I was under the impression that a 120x120 jpeg at about 15k would be okay, but the site is having none of it :roll:
I have to admit I have seen the site change a few times now, but each time it seems difficult then binggggg it all seems easy - I think the change is for the better - we just need to give it time to get used to where all the buttons are again wink

Hi,
The maximum avatar resolution size is 110x110 - 2MB file size.
We'll adjust the error response and/or add the restriction to the information box.
I think it looks great on the PC, and is better to navigate, but it's bloody awful on my mobile!!
I logg in quite often on my mobile but the new site has loads of buttons greyed out (Log In etc) and it's, well, just horrible to navigate, compared to the old format.
Any advice anyone? I use Opera Mini by the way.

I think there`s a lot of work gone into things that seem to be changes just for the sake of change .....
But the quote boxes ......That must have been done with the specific intention to be REALLY annoying !! confused??:
see you cant see who quote what, who end where, I am pleased I am not the only one that thinks its a pain

Put a support ticket in and Admin will get back to you with some help.
Give them as much info as possible and the web browser you use smile
I don't like the fact the full stops are smaller than they used to be. Why do things have to change?????
(I actually really like the new look...)
I kind of take in the changes in my peripheral vision. By the time I actually recognise what has changed, it changes again.
