New website is hard to read

[baansgr]

If it aint broke...dont fix it

[BobbyL]

Truly awful colour contrasts. 

[NickJ]

It makes me feel like my eyes are boiling in oil. Also like I got super drunk and fell into a different world.

haha! who on earth came up with this colour scheme? and then who signed it off...?! bizarre.

[The Fat Controller]

PLEASE can we have the old format back ?

[SkyNets]

The colour scheme really helps to highlight the spam advertising, thanks

I have seen this being commented on all day and there is a seperate thread in the moderators only section about it.

What is being said there is that the font will be changed shortly and we will be back to where we were.

I have been expecting support to inform members of such, but as they haven't, I am letting you know.

Please be patient. We do value our members and blinding them or causing other eye irritation is not in the plans.

By the end of the day, you should find that things have been adjusted to sensible levels.

Trust me, your concerns have been heard loud and clear.

Thank you for advising us all and I am sure I will not be alone

Whu not fix the old website first,the exchange rate page is saying ''çoming soon'for months now!!!!

[katana]

So far liking the new format. Board seems faster too. Find no problems with the new font. Maybe it's been changed already?
Also, the awful anti-adblocker message with 5 second countdown is gone . Hope it's permanent.

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Fonts/text are being worked on, should be changed in the next few hours

 

Hang in there and apologies for the inconvenience!

[chas39]

Glad you're changing it back. I find it really difficult read. The font is too light and thin - sorry, being technical there. 

[DrTuner]

The green bell and envelope in right hand corner are funky enough for me to wonder if I dropped acid in last life. Haven't seen that color combo since Willy Wonka.

Yes adblock plus seems to work again. Sweet.

Are they also going to fix the invisible/impossible to read new notifications that pop up at the bottom of the screen ? I thought that they had fixed that but it is only for additional posts in thread you happen to be reading at the time. 

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Yes, we're aware of both the notifications and fonts/text issue.

 

Both these issues are being worked on. Please bear with us.

 

Apologies again for the inconvenience.

 

I'm locking this thread now as pretty much the same issues are just being reported over again. 

 

If people need to report further issues, this thread will be re-opened once notifications and fonts are back to normal.
