I thought the domain name had been hi-jacked.

Nice refresh Peter ...

The little up and down triangles heading the chart columns, grey on pinky red, are almost invisible.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed them to white now.

I concur with the sentiments above. The new colour scheme and design tweaks for the forum are a definite improvement. Since putting ChromeOS Flex on this laptop, I have not been using an ad blocking web browser, so just using Google Chrome. Not too concerned with privacy implications of this decision, but of note, there used to be a pop-under style advertisement at the bottom of the screen, which would repeatedly show itself even after being minimized. I am glad to see that ad has disappeared on the new iteration of the forum design. I think the square ad blocks (usually two of them) on the right-hand side of the screen are sufficient for advertisements. sf-cool

Cheers,
Doug

Most navigation features and appearance have improvement, however I find the high speed scroll from topic selection in "Updated Topics" to the target topic to be visually annoying on the web interface, akin to flashing lights.

Thankfully that feature does not occur on Android app.

At least with Firefox, if the really wide paragraphs in reading posts are unpleasant (publishers avoid that as people more often lose track of which line they're reading) simply enlarging the screen image with CTRL-+ will make things more readable. No need to reprogram.

Today, all the site features that were along the home page bar have been migrated to the "hamburger" menu. I really don't like that! It means extra clicks and users can't immediately see all the paths they can take.

In virtually all user interfaces, more buttons and fewer context modes make for easier function.

Hi Peter.

Just noticed on my Mac that there is a lot of space on either side of the main focus.
And not every Title Selection (<= if I said that correctly) has the option to sign in.

Pic for space.

Thanks for the report. I didn't even know the ad system was injecting ads on the side, because my screen is small. I think we can leave that as-is until we start putting something important there.

The "Log in" link is only on the homepage and the forum pages. Are you saying it's not on other pages such as the savings account comparison chart?

Login…..just something I noticed. If is same as what it was…..it’s not broken, so don’t fix.

Just thought on my iMac the forum part could be wider. But I’m not a web site developer and will leave that for you as an observation only.

I mostly use my iPad vs the bigger screen.

Thanks for responding.
