I wasnt aware we were having a new design?, wish they hadnt bothered, its horrible, so grey and so many spaces, including one on the left which has pushed the whole page over and means i cant see the end of the lines when posts go right to the edge!
They said it was going to be ,
and im quoting ..." a lick of paint " ..
( big red mad mad smiley )
they say theyre having " a meeting " in
the morning ( Tues )...id have them in
all night as a matter of " business "
urgency if it was my site ...theyre going
to
lose punters faster than they wont believe
even the wonderful and mild
mannered mrs teapot was packing
her bags at one point in the gd thread
( does anyone remember
the " eek " smiley ?....
he was alright wasnt he ...rip mr " eek " .
If this post looks a mess its
because im trying to make sure it
all fits on the left hand side of the
page
I actually feel like a very very bad
prose writer.
[highlight]Doods, congratulations on passing the test![/highlight]
I do think we could have been warned about this, not had it thrust upon us.At the very least, I would have expected some kind of comeback from DS...
After childishly sniggering because I have already managed to incorporate 'cock' and 'thrust', it set me wondering just what we could manage to smuggle in word-wise, while the powers-that-be are busy...:p
I won't be back until tonight, anyway as I have to go to Athens, then we have friends round so...syl
Morning all..........This layout is horrible & I told DS so last night on FB!
It looks like DS let loose the IT work experience person & he/she has royally fecked up the entire layout & run away with the original programme format. The colours are far too dull. DS was always about the dark blue. What are they thinking! :mad:
As for the smilies......don't get me started on them!
I feel as if I'm suffering from snow blindness!

Just popped in to say that this place (Thailand) is utterly, totally bonkers.
Last night and all day yesterday there were riots with tear gas
and rubber bullets. Today they were expected to try to storm
police HQ, with more violence inevitable. Except that the police took
their riot gear off, moved the barricades and
opened the gates. And then stood back smiling and handing
out roses to the protesters.......
Were you on DS the last time they changed the format? Tom Miller had just gone on holiday & someone decided it would be a really good idea to completely overhaul the layout etc. It was a disaster & Tom had to come back from holiday to get it changed back to the original design. This doesn't appear to be the case this time!

Added my opinion now.
I really cant see what justification there was to change it at all, obviously their IT person doesn't have enough to do and thought they better justify their job by coming up with this revamp.

Good stuff...........It's seems to be change for changes sake. There was no reason I can see why they needed to change something which worked!
i can cope with change as long as it's functional
but i can't read to the edges and can only just
see the link to the next page.
and it's boring.
it is like a hospital ward, but in isolation.
is it temporary?
i passed my test by the way, revised and
got full marks
and i have a knife-edge split in my finger
courtesy of half-stray cat who had been
myseriously absent for a week and returned
with her old crochety habits back.
i'm tired of keep pressing return,
makes posting an effort.
I've just noticed the stoopit big bar across the top of the page. Yuk. And I don't like the grey, it's dingy and 'orrible and makes everything dull and and and yuk again. and I still can't see anything on the far right of the posts.
Bleedin' amateur nonsense. My dog could do a better job.

They now seem to have shunted things to the left so I can now read the right hand side of posts which I couldn't first thing. I don't like the black boxes where pms etc are displayed I can hardly read whats written in them and the smilies definitely need changing back to the way they were.
morning all ( shant bother with the
new shite smileys )....I have to go
to the shop
and beat the electric meter but i,ll
probably come and have a rant for
England when I get back

I hadn't noticed the PM part. Gawd, that's as bad as the rest of it......however have a look at the 'Who posted' That is absolutely dire!
The smilies are as pathetic as the rest of the format. Where is the rolleyes smilie? And anyone who uses that 'love' smilie needs their head stamped on!

Don't blame you acker, they are a waste of time and you really have to peer at them to see the expression. There isn't even a FO smiley there either which would come in useful on occasion.

Morning ack, can you bring me back some dark shades & some migraine tablets please!
Morning sr ( old style smiley )
...well the visit to the shop went well .
The breadman hadnt delivered yet and I
will NOT buy bread from that shop unless
it arrived today and THE copy of the
Morning Star had gone and then I found
( not for the first time ) myself stood
behind some idiot woman choosing which scratchcard to buy ( I for my part try not
to do my grocery shopping in Ladbrokes
grrrr )...then when I got home the electric
had run out and I had to reboot the entire
flat kind of thing
Actually y,know typing this out is actually
a ballache ...ds is crap now ...theyve destroyed it really...im with the poster who
said its like going down to your favourite
pub and finding out its been given a trendy
wine bar makeover .........ive been reading
the thread in gd about all this ....its like reading a car crash ...I too would love to be
a fly on the wall at ds towers this morning at their " meeting " ...im probably over compensating for the right hand side of the
page thing
ive just emailed Barney and told him to
have a look at ds for the lols ...his head will drop off from shaking.
If ds persevere with all this despite the
fact that that they can see that their users
absolutely hate it , then they are stupid and arrogant beyond belief and the site deserves
to bomb ....oh yeah ...and just pottering
around the site watching threads unfold is
over now....ive been here half an hour and
ive got a headache...another one of lifes little pleasures gone ....grrrrr.
Don't blame you acker, they are a waste of time and you really have to peer at them to see the expression. There isn't even a FO smiley there either which would come in useful on occasion.
I couldnt see part of your post Flora
its a bit like Bullseye now ..." stay out of
the black....."...God help me I would love a
FO smiley sometimes.....itd help me out in " politics " ....ive argued before now that you
should be given three "**** offs " with no comeback by the mods like wishes off a genie.
Good Morning Everyone.:-)[highlight]((((((( {o-^-o} )))))))[/highlight]
Another nice day here 10C this afternoon and rainless as well.
Got to clear some dirt out from the car,
O/H wants tom put a big tree in the front
with lights all over it.
Lots to do in the garden.
Hope you can see this ok.
PS
I see what you mean about wide posts, the word wrap isn't working
because of the top bar being icons maybe.

I am now seeing the end of the posts, they changed something this morning and I don't appear to have the black line anymore which is a mystery if you are still getting a limited view. Even so there is an awful lot of hassle for people which was quite unnecessary in the first place, bring back the old version is what I say.
Edit - having reviewed my post the end has gone off the page, losing the will to live here.

Going to be a bit of a bugger getting your car out with a big tree in front of it isn't it - sticking out tongue smiley.
Wanted to highlight part of your post so that you could catch my drift but as you have already done it, it didn't work.

I just replied to you in GD! Gutted about these changes.
eta: Thanks Flora, we 'think' it's ok and Ratty hasn't visited according to our mate who checked it yesterday.
SR, hope you're not too shocked in the morning, would love to be here to see that reaction, ha xxxxx

New DS is Still hideous.
