Who's idea was it to have light blue writing on a white background?
Great for those of us like me with vision problems. No high contrast and a font that isn't bold enough.
:rolleyes:
Meanwhile anything forum members actually wanted gets tossed on the scrapheap again.
Yep. How many years have people been asking for Tapatalk support or a mobile view for the forums (which plenty of other big forums adopted years ago) and been consistently ignored?
Oh I think digitalspy should use the shoppingtelly forum theme. But that site also a little cluttered. Vbulletin is good but very expensive kit like 300 pounds.
Why not give people the choice to go back to the old forum layout? It's not that difficult, just add the skin chooser to include vBulletin's default theme as well as the new one (which I believe the forums used previously).
I'm annoyed that you aren't giving people that option. Some of us have delicate vision and this is a nightmare.
I don't usually moan about this sort of thing but this is shockingly bad. The right hand side of the page is inaccessible as are the quick links hidden under the menu bar.
Currently its not fit for purpose. Why was the site published/set active when its obviously not ready?

Just discovered this new look. Major disappointment. The old style was excellent. I too was wondering about possible personal choices for "skin" colour options, if not the old style itself. Certainly the colouring is far too wishy washy and not bold enough for my liking. Personal choice options should be made available.
Another website/forum that goes for an update/revamp and ends up just ruining the whole thing. It looks utterly awful and completely lacking the character and distinctiveness of the previous format.
I hope some second thoughts or other options are being considered.
Why hasn't the new design been crowd sourced or tested? You have went in head first coming out bruised and beat up. Users have accepted modest change in the past but this is too much, you should have put the new design into beta so all of the bugs could be ironed out. It wouldn't have taken too much in server utilisation to accommodate this.
Sky is currently testing a new homepage, it is in beta one can access it readily to try it out and offer feedback. Where have you done this DS?? Its a shame a site previously easily navigated now completely throws people off when they visit.
I am not looking at adverts that take up about 50% of my screen when viewing the homepage.
Seriously I suggest you put back what once was there and sort out the design bugs before launching full throttle into this. You could have done the main site first and left the forums for a week or so or vice versa.
Poor showing by both staff and coders....you haven't even done an impact study to assess any shortcomings. Which website does that? Even the BBC offers a beta before full launch!

I'll have to have to have a look at the page coding and filter that out as a priority.
I am using a 27 inch iMac. This should not be the case.
Its like that on my netbook.
Ruined the website/forums now lol
It's this sort of instant knee jerk uninformed rant that makes these forums such fun, whatever they look like.
Code is quite obviously still in the course of being deployed.

Old buttons are still in use? Awful redesign.
See what you mean on the ipad, not formatted correctly at all. Also the bar at the top just stays there and is too intrusive..
Currently its not fit for purpose. Why was the site published/set active when its obviously not ready?
Agreed.
will get used to it, but still not sure which style i prefer!
You like having to scroll to the bottom of the main page to find the forum links?
Please share that with us non techies when you figure it out, the fixed header taking up that much of the page is an abomination.
Seriously DS, WTF were you thinking?

I agree, Is this for real :eek: I thought the forum had a virus when I saw it.
