New site design being tested!

It just switched for me, I wondered what had happened:-)
Are you adding Modify, and Quote buttons?

I didn't mind it the way it was before
Apart from not having an edit button - which I can understand because unless you edit in the first few minutes, then you could change a post so that the responses don't make sense.
That is - if anyone responds of course.

The font came up very large but I have adjusted it down and it seems better now.

Much the same as Mumsnet, didn't like it at first....now I prefer it! Much clearer and larger font, easier for me to read without adjusting the page, so well done GNHQ.
Would still like a quote button though.

I agree about the old fashioned font.

I'd like more definition on the phone site.

Did I do anything previously to ensure that I got straight to active? I don't like having to find the threads each time.

'Obviously unfortunate connotations so no'

Copied from MN - seems very similar to me! What's insulting about the font? If you adjusted the size previously, the whole page went wonky.

I find the larger font a bit insulting, it implies that we are all have failing eyesight. We could adjust our own font size to suit.
My main complaint is that there isn't a granddad on the logo. I just spelt the word with one 'd' and it corrected itself. How can I get rid of that function?
Otherwise not too bad, so well done!

Doesn't seem grey here? It's quite a lot clearer.

Edit button would be useful and works on other forums fine.

Like button - no. Could get competitive. People usually say if they like anyway!

I quite like it on the laptop but the mobile site is very dreary and I use the mobile site the most. I expect I'll cope but I am getting a bit too old for change!

Thank heavens for that!
I went out to post a letter, and you'd changed when I got back!
I've been trying all sorts to change it back; then I noticed this thread.

The larger font is an improvement. It looks very grey overall. The only bit of colour that smacks you in the face is when the message is from GNHQ. A bit big brother? Will there be a "like" button and edit option?

I much prefer the larger font- I have Macular degeneration so it will help me.

I agree, definitely lighter and brighter.

I didn't like or use the mobile site either but might be driven to it as I really dislike this font.
And why with the exciting overhaul are the frequent requests for the edit and like buttons still being ignored?

This looks much lighter and brighter.

I didn't like the mobile site. Now I don't like the desktop site! Why is it grey? I don't like the logo either. Sorry.

Have had to up the brightness in my settings.
Apart from the font and logo I can't see any significant changes. Would you talk us through them please? (And tell us the 'exciting' bit.)

Local sites seem easier to locate which is a bonus.I am happy with the new style.

Just the desktop site! Why not the same font as the mobile site?

Very old-fashioned font. Didn't you consider something more modern?

Active page is very grey. Not keen on that.

I really like it. It has a nice clear layout and is less cluttered than before. An edit button would be good. So would a like button.
