What do you think of the new look sh?

10 Nov 2009

I just signed in to the new look sh, I think it is looking good, might take a little time to get around it, but looks easy enough.
What do others think?

10 Nov 2009

At risk of sounding like someone who "just needs to get used to it"- I've only had five minutes but the the thing that strikes me is the colours/font in the forum- vile. Horrible to read for me, and I have 6/6 vision.
The rest I'll reserve judgment on. wink

Seems like a friendlier interface to me. time will indeed tell.

10 Nov 2009

has it changed?
lp

10 Nov 2009

I am having a look about, what I did notice is that on my profile it had up one of my private pictures, dont know if others in the new style would have looked at my profile and seen it, but removed it promptly from view :shock:

10 Nov 2009

You can see your own private pictures, they are not visable to anyone else biggrin

10 Nov 2009

It seems to work a lot quicker!

10 Nov 2009

I am not 100% sure on it..
The skins seems very 'CBBC' now rather than 'BBC News'
There is loads of colour, a lot of space around things. The site is cleaner, but all the colour is a bit distacting. But I suppose it is one of those things that you get used to. I need to use it a lot more to see if it is more functional...
I can say though, no one can say that you have not made many changes.. lol

Plus for those who need it there is a spell checker, :embarrased: at the bottom right corner when you type your post. :bounce:
The who is on site / users in each forum section, is now at the bottom of the page.

That is because of the mass use of different colours, rounded boxs and heavy use of borders.
These are things which you will soon get used to. I think speed, else of use, functionality will be the real test..

Already been on trial to sort the bugs etc - this is a gentle ease into the new look, you can still use the old site for the moment.

10 Nov 2009

No.....
I have tried it and I don't like it.

10 Nov 2009

^This^. The site seems to assume you're running a 1024x768 display, which means I have massive blue and grey borders either side of the 'actual' page, and the actual content within forum posts takes up less than half my screen width and looks completely lost? confused

Is there / will there be a tweak for this to tell the site to use all available screen width?

I am assuming you are using wide screen monitors?

10 Nov 2009

slowly gettin used to it but still prefer the old style

10 Nov 2009

!!! I really hate the ad searching !!!
I find it almost unusable ...
I would like to do something like look for ads from woman or couples, looking for single males or groups with 35 miles of my location. Was so easy to do on the old system .
Very very very frustrated!!

How do you get into it? I saw it on the first screen when I logged on - now I have no way to get back to it. Can't see it when I close SH and reopen it. Have I lost my only chance to get into it?

Can you not logout and then back in again .. ?
