What do you think of the new look

Well John Smith was of no use rolleyes
Ooohhh I dont know what he sang hun... His partner of 20 years had died 2 days before and she had helped him organise a petition to allow him to sing on the show as he was 64 (max age is 28)
I already use FF and I have a filter screen... I also have the resolution turned down on my screen as I find it quite bright anyway :lol2:

p.s. the Northern bit of my Northen Monkey bit under the av is encroaching on my post!? :shock: confused
*glares*
Dont know how you are coping Varca smile
But after many bottles of bud it still looks as bad as ever to me lol
<NB> not read the whole tread so appologies if i'm doubeling here.
ok well i've given it a chance to grow on me, but, sorry guys, it just gives me a bloody head ache.
the functunality <sp> is great, and i have deffo noticed that everything seems to have got much faster, :thumbup:
but my eyes just cannot cope with the new colour scheme, sorry dunno
I dont know if its the lack of contrast or what but after 10 minutes it just makes my eyes water and my head throb :shock: , behave at the back ffs rolleyes
to try and be a little constructive, when someone posts in bold, its fine, but otherwise i really do find it painful after a while.
just my input for what its worth wave

My old eyes feel the same Pete sad very hard to read for long.
New Look is ok it would be better if you could get into the chatrooms. With the Old Look at least you could get into chat...
Ahh thats a bit better i'm using netscape and the brightness is certainly better biggrin

Pete_SW and Stormwalker, try downloading Mozilla Firefox. The blue skin is definitely easier on the eye in there. No idea why but it is dunno biggrin

I have Firefox Varca, and it looks much the same to me :dunno:
dunno I still like it - not giving me a headache.
I tried all the faffing around last night.... I'm in the My Eyes Can't Take This & have a headache after 20 minutes camp still, even though I like the overall new look and am not getting the overlap and other issues people are reporting ....
but something in my head says 'hang on a minute, the problem is with the colour scheme/ brightness/ blue hue or simply text size of the site, why do I have to go altering browsers and other settings which affect my puter away from SH rather than Admin sorting something here on the site ? confused
really hate it.
text is to small, every thing blurs now, no definition, hate the blue. its cold, clinical, oh wait yes great for a sex site , losing more warmth and community feel each day, yeah great job

when i first logged in today and the change had happened, well i actually thought log in had f**ked up and the site had not loaded properly.
is this here to stay?
Only dislike I've got is the seperation from the main thrust of the page and the surrounding user menu's and Information There's not enough distinction colour wise to act as a seperation, stuff is on a pale blue background with a white contrast to give seperation, but only really shows if the light in the users room is dark.
Me only other grumble is the number of stickies on the cafe page which now mean a scroll down, as the topics start out of range of a laptop size screen when they open, but thats nowt to do with the new format

Well..........what do you think?

Shite.
Absolute shite.
It looks like a very cheap copy of a very cheap freebie layout that comes with free on a very cheap and nasty website builders programme thingys when you "buy" a domain name.
A change for change's sake ???? dunno Or will the new layout give us more 'facilities' or site stability and stuff ?
But . . . . .
it's just the interface (????) - dammie does tecky :shock: that we use to talk to each other :thumbup:
I think I'm indifferent to the new layout.
I can't seem to grasp what it's supposed to achieve dunno
I don't think it's easier to read, I don't think the symbols identify anything any better. (what exactly is that sticky symbol meant to be) :dunno:
Then again I don't think it's any worse either - just different. Different colours & different symbols.
If the look was changed because the site is using a different kind of software and this is the format you get, then that's quite understandalble.
If someone has spent a lot of time and money specifically getting it to look like this, then I'd think it a waste.
My final (I think) thought on this.
After reading the advice in here, I'm now viewing the site via firefox.
The type IS easier to read, but the colour scheme and the STILL too small font mean that after 20 mins or so, my eyes hurt, my head aches and I feel really queasy.
As, according to the poll result, I seem to be in a minority, I assume the site will remain as it is now.
So- I wont be logging on for as long, or for as often as I did. Yes, I know, it's my loss.

Think it was done to get a corporate type feel as it look very simmilar in style to the date and blog site but with different colors.
The date site is red in theme but the forum is slightly different in look to this but not a great amount and most have to make their posts in bold or colors to see them on there.

It looks awfull the fonts look fuzzy and are waaaaayyyyy too small the colour scheme is er well blue and well thats is it, did someone forget to colour in the white bits I have some crayons spare if this is so. An over all unbiased opinion it all looks rather cheap i've seen less well funded sites look a hell of a lot better. But hey ho as long as I get sex from our ad I'll be happy confused

Fairs is fair I've just purchased a new lap top and it does look a hell of a lot better on this one, the font isn't as fuzzy and the white isn't as obtrusive (yes I did clear cache on the old one) but the font is still way too small. It's the only site I use where when I go to log in my cursor is bigger than the pass word box but prehaps thats just me being a tad obsesive :?

I wrote my last post after only browsing the site for a short time.
Having looked at it for a while now I have to admit it's starting to strain on my eyes and I found your post written in bold a welcome relief kiss

Wasn't it just :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
Have to agree with the others,something about it after a short time gives me a headache.
:giggle: This site is getting us all in to bed,but for all the wrong reasons.....not tonight dear,i have a headache innocent
Well last night and tonight is the first time i have used it for a long spell and i have to agree on the font size issue
Also the font color on the forum index pages. This and the header bars should be navey blue like the old theme.
I also had it hooked up to a 42 inch plasma :shock: and it was still very hard to read.

Well i kept getting a chill in bed so slept downstairs and as i couldnt sleep i thought what the hell lol
so it seems that a few of us who are reguler forum users are actually going to have to spend less time here, or have headaches due to the new layout.
i also dont like the main forum page, it not so clear anymore which posts ive read etc.
still no repy to the question is it going to stay like this??

I have an anti glare screen peenut and it still gives me headaches confused :?
Thats a interesting point fem-4- , I have a anti glare screen filter on this computer which means I can sit here on the internet for hours an hours. But taking it off to look at this site was all a bit of a rush to my head!
