    If nothing else, I would like the old smilies back, this new lot are naff, much preferred the coloured ones, at least you just needed to glance at them to know what expression was being conveyed.

    Morning acker (insert toothy green grin)

    Wahhh! can't keep up, the site keeps changing before my very eyes, unless I'm hallucinating.
    I have read back but I can't find the multi quote button so I am just going to content myself with a general wave all round as all the posts are about the darned site changes, anyway.

    Morning Arte.:--))))))))))))))))

    Haven't you got a little (+) at the side of the (Quote) button, i have.

    Surely, if everyone uses this Quick Reply box at the bottom of every page then you needn't bother about smilies anyway as i don't think you get them.

    But if you press Go Advanced button you get the smilies.

    So clever isn't it.

    No, I don't have that and I don't have any smilies because I can only access the quick reply button. yesterday, I had the choice of advanced, but not today. Obviously, it is a work in progress.

    It is only 'clever' if you have an advanced button, which I don't atm.

    The new smilies are pointless, they convey absolutely nothing, & why the hell would anyone sane use the 'love' one? Anyone who does clearly needs a smack round the head with a shovel, & as for the 'devil' Wtf is that about!

    Expect the old smilies don't fit in with the new look, too colourful by far.

    New smilies all look the same. Rubbish.
    Forum is horrible now, ah well, I'll get a lot more done cos I'll not be on here so much. Wonder if there's been any significant change in the forum traffic since the changeover?
    Have the MODs made any comments on the feedback they've received so far yet? Bet their ears are burning...

    The piano patterned mini skirt at the op of the page is a bit shorter today. (insert puzzled smiley)
    I don't mind if the layout changes. In fact i couldn't give a monkeys what it looks like as long as it works, but it doesn't, and has excluded people with all sorts of vision problems.
    Why would they want to do that? (insert twenty-five furious smileys)

    Not to mention I have your laptop on the lowest brightness setting.

    It doesn't look TOO bad on the computer I play video games on. Perhaps they have it too hi-spec for regular computers? Would explain why Hicky can see it fine too.

    They need to just revert back to the old design or I'll go post on mumsnet, not even joking.

    All those smileys and still no sign of the only extra one we asked for, the vomitty one. And we need it like we have never needed it before!

    Funnily enough, the colours are pretty much a copy of mumsnet.

    Am I being unreasonable wanting to slap whoever designed this?

    ...and what's with the tiny courier font (in the reply box)? Is it the 80's?

    That's because it is. They've been using the same basic free forum software that's been available since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

    You can't alter it without access to their site codes.

    I was just showing were the colours came from and what needs altering to change them.

    Here's a list of the hex values with the colours.
