Are my eyes going funny, or is it me? Green has turned blue overnight and not so sure I like it. Yes, easier to navigate tree, find links but..... those message boards. My head is spinning and I feel a migraine coming on. Am I just an old stick in the mud, is it just me or does anyone agree?Would love to know what everyone else thinks! Jackie

Hi Jackie, I'm confused too, it's a bit like going into tescos when they change everything round, you just get used to where everything is and someone moves it. I think it's a conspiricy to keep us all on our toes, or maybe I', an old stick in the mud too

Hi, personally i love it. Have had an ongoing fight with the site since i switched to broadband two months ago found myself on a never ending loop between logging in and registering. This is so easy! (cross fingers) Information is easier to access and clearer too. Thanks GC ( though i much preferred the other title GC -Something odd about being reunited with your genes!) Elaine x.

I'm sure it's the blue on blue that's doing my head in. I'm squinting at the boards now....and yes, that migraine is starting. Jackie

After a few minutes my eyes are straining too. Also have you noticed the NEW terms and conditions at the bottom. Just had a quick read through, does anyone know what the differences are. My bet mainly to do with what's been going on lately. Diane

I like it

Hi All, think it's great except for this pale blue colour on the background of the boards will only be able to look for a short while at it...maybe some housework might get done lol Helen

Easier to navigate, but harder to read. Hoping I'll get used to it...

Perhaps if we all lobby GR about the blue on blue perhaps they'll do something about it. Also, don't like the blue underlining on the messages. It does make it hard work to visually scan them -or do I need a visit to the opticians? Jackie

Some of it I find easier to read but ............. I don't like the new set up for viewing other trees. Is it me or can you no longer view the relations in some one else's tree. With large trees it is very difficult to negotiate if your link is several generations back and on several different maternal lines. Janet

I have emailed GR about the blue. It's no good complaining and doing nothing -wonder if they'll listen!!! I seem to remember the strong members' lobby against GC being changed to GR. Jackie

Michelle has said that the "View Relations" option for viewing other peoples trees should be back later today or tomorrow. Great work Janet

I actually thought at first there was something wrong with my GLASSES he he, I had to take them off & clean them, but I have'nt checked it out properly as yet, but I think I like it, at first I thought the colour had faded. I have just noticed it also tells you when your membership runs out mine is January 05. Rita (Western Australia).

Am I imagining it, or has the blue on blue turned black on blue? Seems a lot better....or am I just getting used to it?!!! Jackie

Generally looks okay - but dont like the TEXT SIZE on message boards. I usually have my 'view' set to LARGER - on here it gives me eye strain cos it's too large! Change it to medium and I get eye strain the other way cos it's now just a tad too small - have found myself squinting to read the message titles.............need a middle ground here GR or you'll be getting my opticians bill LOL..........

can i just point out that when GC changfed the format last time everyone complianed is was too bright etc but trust me it soon becomes the normal LOL this is the third???? change i've seen Gc do and as far as i'm aware peeps said the same after each change give it a couple of days to se how it goes Shelli

Haven't had much time to explore it yet but I appreciate the fact that the new layout means you've only got one distracting advert instead of two,(Except when your adding a message)though am finding the margins annoying.

Crap! Not to put too fine a point upon it and I HATE the 'boards' - can't see print very easily.

Now, now Linda. At least it's better than it was at 10 o'clock this morning. EVERYTHING was BLUE. I closed my eyes and could still see blue zizags! At least they've seen sense and the text is black on the messages and legible. Even the blue background seems paler in comparison. Jackie

been on here a long time in the background, look everyday and there are lots of names that are not on any more, and some new ones that are now lording it a bit, i don't like the new layout one bit and have you noticed it is not run by happy somthing or other anymore, have they sold out. think i will have a go on colin's site, as i guess thats were all the old faces have gone.
