I'm just starting to get used to it now  and as others have said it will probably take a while.  It does all seem very spacious and I am well pleased with the new wildlife section, which I have duly posted in    Thank you Dan, and Rosemary for keeping him sane while the work was being done 

I suppose it's my less-than-perfect eyes, but I am struggling with some of the print - grey on grey (as in the main forum page), orange on green - in fact anything with the green background. I've no idea how these things work so I don't know how adjustable it is. And I do like how things glow   

But overall - ten out of ten

Thanks for the feedback, I'm tweaking the colour scheme today to improve the contrast and readability.

But overall - ten out of ten 

Thank you!

i will go with the same complaint  it is hard to read on all the different colours black on white is perfect
possibly it is like sleeping with a strange woman?

I expect the wind was wrecking havoc somewhere between you & me, though it never reached us. But I couldn't find your new site 'till today. Tried several times and before I went to bed about 11pm, but just the old site & the maintenence message on the forum section.

Just thought I'd let you know in case a few folks are still having problems.

Looks lovely though, congratulations

Well, I'm here (finally) but only cos I'm using the pc in the public library 
Will do the dns teccy thing once I'm home Dan - fingers crossed I'll be back later

Hurray, hurray we're back  I could only get on forward the first time this morning. Maybe it was the storms? Anyway, it looks good - off to have a play

Yes it's great now thanks Dan for tweaking it - my eyes have stopped watering from the orange/green clash    I won't whinge too much about the big empty green bit which fills the screen when you first go to a thread

well I will!  It's a horrid shade of green too    You wouldn't be colour blind are you, Dan? 
Oh, and as I am getting long in the tooth and need to peer at them is there any chance the smileys could be increased in size?

Maybe you need new glasses, Annie?    (That's WINK followed by CHEESY GRIN)

You can also increase the zoom on the screen.  (Page -> Zoom : I use 125% when my eyes get tired.)

I don't get a big empty green bit.  I get the headings / menus in an olive green banner, but nothing I would describe as large and empty.  It's not my favourite colour either, but then it's not my site!

You need to empty your cache Annie - it sounds like your browser is still loading one of the old site stylesheets so you'll be seeing an unholy mess.

It should look like the attachment below...

I see why someone said the stars are square - mine are still pointy 

I definitely get the big green screen, for example when I click on 'forum', the list of 'home', 'livestock', 'Veggies' etc is still on the left, with a similar depth of empty green filling most of the screen, then the messages themselves are just visible peeping up at the bottom of the page.  Isn't this what everyone has?

Also, it seems that if you are typing a reply and someone else beats you to it, it no longer comes up with a red warning that this has happened, so you can modify your reply accordingly.

[SallyintNorth]

Sounds like you need to clear your cache, too, Juliet.   

I do still get the red warning - although I think it's now at the top of the visible screen and seems just a tad less noticeable.  Having said which, I'm not sure whether I've seen it on 'Post' or only on 'Preview'...

Yes, that's what I get too.  But my stars are square.(screen drop attached) And I get the message about another post having been made.

Aw, brilliant!  Thanks, Annie.
