    Site hasn't changed for me?

    I have it on the black/grey settings, like it as it is.

    I switched back to legacy.

    I really tried to use the new design, but just couldn't do it

    Pretty sure he is Mark McCafferty.

    His 'Not Mark McCafferty' statement is fooling nobody

    Berk! The awful attempt at a redesigned website had me clicking on "legacy" within seconds.

    If it ain't broke, don't fcukin fix it.

    It's not original, nor is it very smart. A real shame.

    I figure as much which is why I actually tried to use it but after 10 minutes I just had to go with the legacy version.

    I'm going to use it, but I'd like the Quick Post section to be a bit better.

    By the way everyone make sure you use the "full page width" option, in the settings of your account. Some absolute fools dont even know it exists

    There's an Ireland/Schmidt quip to be made here but I'll be damned if I can do it justice.

    I've done a few of those from the other side and they ain't fun. People do not like change!

    I'm not a stick in the mud or against change. But for a site like this I value usability over being pretty. So far my impression is "fail".

    I would have thought the first step would be to survey users to see what they want rather than imposing...

    I suppose given what's in the news I should say the website formerly known as boards...

    The touch site is wretched. The page numbers all on top o on another and a floaty avatar.

    0 UI testing done before rollout. As per ****ing usual.

    Ah I know what you mean. Often what seems like a great idea in a dev's head falls flat on its face when it actually has to be used.

    On a big screen I prefer the fixed width. Too wide and spreadout otherwise

    I'm going to give it a day. If I switch back I will tell them why.

    I haven't noticed any difference to the site.

    For a great yarn, watch Kevin Smith telling of his dealings with Prince on YouTube. Eccentric does not do him justice.

    Victoria Wood has died also, a truly funny woman who's wit was as sharp as any of her male contemporaries

    He was taken to hospital about a week or so ago and his people were pretty hush hush about it. Said he was fine, clearly not.

    Saw that this evening. Good God it was horrifically embarrassing. It was like a cross between the Haka, Whigfield and a mime pretending to shower. They deserve to be ridiculed until the end of time for it.

    No one likes change. But this new site looks weird as all hell on my phone. I guess I'll get used to it.
