New website is hard to read

[transam]

Well I mowed the lawn, pressure washed my trusty steads engine bay...Now what can l tinker with....????

Now come on Tech Doctor...I thought you were out of deep doo doo...????

[Ks45672]

They should go back to the old version that was easy to read

[GarryP]

Don't like the font but other than that it is fine. I can also now use the search window without any problems. Before the magnifying glass symbol half covered that window.  Now the only real fault is duplication of page numbers at the top left of the threads. 

[mauGR1]

Well, i'm painfully getting used to it, although it seems that the logo and the green bits on purple are the work of a sadistic mind.

[lopburi3]

Now we can not even advise our concerns in the topic designed for that specific purpose?  

[Samuel Smith]

I hope the new logo didn't cost any money ????

Absolutely a fault and should be corrected.

[KhunBENQ]

Throwing away the decades old established logo?

Replacing with a durian?

Unfortunately a sign of the times.

Companies throwing away established names and corporate identity.

Usually a "new boss" setting his scent mark?

Don't you see it

Emoticons with "frame".

Has there been invested at least a few hours of testing before releasing this crap?

Jesus...

 

What else could be expected from Thaivisa members apart from complaints and weak attempts at ridicule? 

 

There's been a change in colour and font by the people who own the site, get used to it. I wear specs for reading too but I can still read the new set up.

 

I am curious why the page indicator at the top of each page has been duplicated, though.

you know for the first time I don't feel comfortable posting the response I wanted to.

I'm not discussing moderation at all, but hope that the feedback is taken on board, esp with regards to the hard to read font.

I quite expected a certain TV member to complain about TV members.

[canuckamuck]

I don't mind most of the change, but the logo is weak and with the choice of font it appears to say THALVISA instead of Thaivisa.

I have to admit I hated the old Thaivisa logo as well But I assumed someone made it themselves and they just stuck with it. I hoped a rebranding would have come with some pro-designed graphics. Nope.

Click on the "x" that clearly is designed to remove that notification and, surprisingly, it goes away!  Why do some people like to make life so difficult?

"...and with the choice of font it appears to say THALVISA instead of Thaivisa".

 

Only to those who think that the letter "l" gets a dot.

Anyone else seeing double .....

 

[GarryP]

Oh, one more thing. I note that the site now is aimed at durian lovers, so I  shall leave. Never have liked the fruit.  

[Ks45672]

The contrast between the background and font is significantly worse

It's the new Thai-English dual language format... someone will be along shortly to flick the switch to complete the update.

 

...and Hewlett Packard called... they want their old logo back.

You must remember that TVF is free to us. The forum generates it's money from advertising.

 

The washed out font and purple theme make the surrounding advertising stand out much more.

 

You might not like it but the advertisers will love it.

And if we can't read it then we won't be logging on so there will be NO need for any advertisers.  Also if you can't read the adverts why have them.  I will only be logging on in future to see if the fonts have reverted or improved.  I CANNOT Read this site without zooming in.  Please change it or loose readers.

[Oxx]

It would be a trivial change to go back to using the old Roboto, rather than Monserrat as the primary font, and it would dramatically improve legibility.

[DrTuner]

It's better on a mobile, although the color scheme looks bad. New logo could be right at home at Soi 6 in Pattaya, appropriate for a Thai forum.

To be blunt, this "upgrade" sucks. Sucks badly.

 

Why are you "fixing" something that wasn't broken?

Serves to quietly disenfranchise the noisome, old foggies who only post about corrupt police, bad drivers, bar girls, the farangs that marry them, lady boys, the price of cheese and Pattaya. Subsequently, this frees up the bandwidth for a newer, younger, more prescient membership who enhance website traffic by browsing and posting on a much more diverse and frankly more entertaining range of threads thus elevating the forum subject matter and generally enhancing the whole TV experience.

Nonsense 

[jimmyyy]

This upgrade makes it very hard to read, looks all fuzzy, can you revert back to the original please. 

[champers]

I view on a mobile and I am fine reading the site with my specs on. If If I forget to take them with me it is a bit of a struggle.

Must agree on this, it all looks a kind of hazy, like driving in a foggy world.

It is only a new stylesheet. The "Web site" is unchanged.
