Would You Like To See The Answerbank Redesign?
143 Answers
Hello!
As you know, we're working on redesigning the site so that it works on every device - i.e. it works on mobile, tablet and your laptop/desktop PC.
We're also taking the opportunity to tidy up some stuff, like reducing the number of categories, swapping the sizes of adverts to more commonly used sizes (this should mean the ads get better).
To make sure everyone feels as consulted as possible, I'd like to show you where the designs are currently settled. If you have any good ideas for the layout, design, colours, fonts etc, please provide your feedback here.
What I would really like to know is, do you understand it, just by looking at it?
I'll post different versions of the homepage first, with a small description. You should be able to click the images to make them pop open in a new browser tab.
The thread will be closed while I sort out these images as answers, and will reopen shortly afterwards.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Over all it looks good Ed, and eay to navigate. although the one negative is the red colour. Its an agressive colour and my first impression was that I had wandered over to a tabloid newspaper site. Equally you need to avoid blue. Stick with the mustard colour or if you want a change, make the red more of a wine colour. Hic.
I have been out for the day and am just catching up. It all looks good really, I do not use my phone, or ipad or a tablet to log on. But if the new format encourages the younger web users to join AB and contribute it can only be a good thing. Some of the older members have adopted a mind set that AB is a secret clubby forum (I include myself in that reflection), and new "blood" can only be a good thing. Lol @ dt earlier, commenting on aog having a busy morning with all the posts.
I only have a laptop, so the rest doesn't bother me. If we are losing the sub-divisions - on , say, Media - it could be a long plough through to 'The Archers' thread. However, I've only just learned to feel at home on here and I resist technological change automatically. Others seem to like it, so I'll have to learn to live with it.

The red is part of the existing Answerbank colour scheme since the very beginning. To me, there does seem to be less Red, and Mustard than before.

Khandro,
The colour might have been tweek very slightly, but I suspect not.
You are comparing two different colour systems.
This site uses hexidecimal values entered into the code to deliver the required colour. The screen grabs which the Ed has posted of the redesign are In RGB colour, like the colour in a jpg. The two systems give slightly different results.
