New Site Design

[sp1814]

Okay - this is news (yes, I know there's a thread in Chatterbank, but the best people are in the News thread).

I personally think the AnswerBank redesign is a huge success and well overdue.

The choice of font is perhaps the only element I'd question, but other than that - bravo to the site admins.

Your thoughts?

How .?

[ToraToraTora]

it'[s just terribly designed, there is now a big gap down the left, put all the links there like they where! now I have to play find the subject! Jesus H christ, who designed this? I hope you didn't pay money!

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy 5 and I see only two answers at a time in portrait. The font is miles too big and typing about 125 characters fills the box. Is there something I am missing?

[Jackdaw33]

When the box is full pressing return should generate more space.

My phablet/phone seems to have settled down a bit now. All the wobbly text is now neatly in its box. It's a bit like going into a new oap home, you find the necessary rooms and remember where the are, and then wander about a bit, I'm getting there!

I like it, once you are used to the new layout it works just like the old system. I did have trouble before I did the CTRL F5 bit!
Much easier to read , even without my glasses!

Just footling about on the the new site. Slightly stranger. Like the font, just bought a new pair of reading glasses. A whole £1. I will get to grips with this site after a nap.

It might look great on a pc but on this 'phone it's not. As I said in a previous thread, I use the desktop version on ma 'phone but there doesn't appear to be that option unless it's the desktop version I'm already viewing in which case it's mince.

It has a few teething problems, but overall it is a vast improvement. My only serious complaints are a) ugly, boring colour scheme and b) STILL no edit button.

cannot agree, the screen is 99% full of irrelevant 5h1t3





Isn't that just a typical thread?

sp I'm on a Mac using Safari and I had to clear history, then update, and it was OK.
Thanks to those who replied to my profile in Latest Posts question.

[weecalf]

View all categories is this a joke ,it's frozen .Please let's back to the last one and we won't mention it again

[DTCwordfan]

clear your history, weecalf, all those dodgy sites need vacuuming out. More seriously, I had the same problem and it cleared it.

[Cloverjo]

The only thing I don't like is having to scroll to the bottom of the page to find Latest Posts.

[Cloverjo]

Also, too many ads breaking up the replies. I'm scrolling up and down and getting mixed up with where the thread ends and the big ads start.

[jourdain2]

Agree, Cloverjo. Why all the ads. interspersed with the answers? Not keen.

[mazie]

I'm on the PC now and it's so much quicker for me. I like the layout now I've reduced the font size. I think it's far less cluttered than the old site and won't take long to get used to. Don't give up on it anyone. xx

Text is too large.

[Jackdaw33]

Simple solution to that TTG, as has been explained on various threads.

Just zoom out.
