The red lettering I found irritating is on the unread subject headings.

That was a bit of a shcok finding I had to log in. Gonna take a bit of time to get used to the new layout. As I have a wide screen monitor the posts look small - or the grey bands bit too wide  :) - but one thing I have found is not so good to me . The photos on 'These sunny days...' threads all look quite small,  is this normal or do we have to click on the picture to make them bigger?

Anyway Thanks Trstan and Sarah for all you hard work especially trying to please all of us RCer's in one go.

Well done Rootschat Team.................

I think the new changes are brilliant, it looks really up-to-date and modern  8)

My only grumble is the "chat" won't let me log-in, says I'm an invalid user (yet I'm logged in here!!!)  :o

Other than that.......Marvellous

Merry Christmas & heres to a happy 2013

I've had a look round the 'new look', and like when I joined FB, it took a while to work out.   On the whole, I like it;  we did discuss the logo previously, with the letter C needing to be in capitals, but maybe the bosses thought not.  That's about my only negative comment.

If you don't like it folks, explore it, get used to it.   I don't have a posh mobile, so that aspect passes me by, but for people that do, it must be a good change.   

I found the new font very large, but Ctrl and minus or plus can alter that.  And it was done for people with poorer eye-sight, so another good move by the bosses !

And BEST OF ALL !!     Its an excellent site full of friendly people, and IT'S FREE !!!

Thank you Trystan and the others who have worked on this.      :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
