Hi there First time I have seen the "new look" and I am not sure I like it. But - it might take time to get used to. The lighter green is good - the ads at the top - still annoy me. Will give a go - but it does seem slower. Liz

I Quite like the layout but the print is too small and I agree the white is too bright for my eyes. I use a wiseview screen but I find it is a bit glary. Probably my age. Otherwise Its not bad. Sandra

Too bright, too difficult to read, too slow - and that's just me! Too tired. I'm off to bed. Night all Jeanette

I agree about the text size. Clicking on View and Text size only enlarges some of it. The white background is too bright. I have only been on about 5 minutes and my eyes are already going funny. Don't know how people with a visual impairment manage to access the site. This new layout seems a bit 'busy' to me too. Lots of stuff on the one page and moving ads. Very hard on the eyes. Mel

All I can say is I agree that it's too bright and I preferred the other version and layout. Off to look elsewhere as my squinting is causing wrinkles. Lorraine

Agree, the white is much too bright. My eyes are really suffering, finding it difficult to focus. Don't like the way the message boards have changed and it takes too long, is much too fiddly. The rest is fine, except for those flashing ads!!!!!! Very distracting and causes headaches.

I'm not sure why they felt it necessary to alter the "look and feel" of the menu options. For me, the menu options should stand out from the rest of the content on the webpage, you shouldn't have to peer hard at the options. In fact, the menu options' font size seems to be smaller than the size of the text that I'm currently typing. For options such as Message Boards, they could have employed a hierarchical structure akin to Windows Explorer, whereby you can click on the little + button, which reveals all the sub-options, in this instance, the names of all the message boards. That way you can easily flick from board to board.
