I am finding it awkward.  To use an internet forum with comfort, I need to zoom the text much larger than standard - even while wearing glasses.
Unfortunately, under this new layout, the ad at the top widens too.  This leaves me with quite a narrow (from top to bottom) reading pane.  I suppose I could waste a load of money on a massive monitor - or I could get my eyes re-tested - or just not bother with this forum very much.  I waste too much time on here anyhow.
EDIT:  Not the ad pane.  I should have said the CIU header pane.

Its definitely a lot faster - I'm not keen on the colour scheme though, its a bit harsh on the eyes. I'm sure it'll be sorted in due time though.

I hate the static banner, it reduces the viewable area too much. It's like trying to read in wide, wide, wide screen!! Remove please, there is absolutely no reason for it.

It's not as easy to read what's posted.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I'm reading on iPad and it's massive!
Could do with having a size option...
Also, where's the little folder thing so you can tell where you've posted?
www.LanesWindowCleaning.com

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

About the height of the reading area again - particularly with expanded text due to my eyesight.
I have checked on a couple of other (non cleaning) forums that I use and the top header does expand with the zoom feature.  However, it scrolls up out of the way with the rest of the page.  I will check in from time to time to see if it's been changed but won't waste my time trying to use this forum until it happens.  It's too awkward to use as it stands.
I see that others have mentioned it too so hopefully it will be resolved fairly soon.

Bloody awful...it was far better as it was, never had a problem using it.

This looks like it was designed at pre school >:(

Stop moaning ladies, it's got some great features. Like "ignore this mong" and stuff like that. All I need to know now is what Bateman's new ID is, and I can put him on the list  :D

You can bypass the swear filter too. Girl thingy. mammary glands dangly bits.
No still don't understand, I must be thick

My word, what a complete mess this is. Unusable on my phone. Think there is going to be a significant drop in traffic over the coming weeks.  :(
