New forum design
I really don't like the new layout of this forum. The text is FAR too small for a start and using purple is never a very good idea.
When you're trawling through endless posts, bold is usually best guys. My eyes seriously beginning to hurt now. Bad move in my opinion.

Just as I was getting accustomed to the Strictly pink (I'd go so far as to say I secretly quite liked it) they take it away

I'm find it a little confusing as I use purple to show I've visited a link
![]() I quite like the new font, but I can see how it could be really difficult for people with less than perfect eyesight to read. |

It was fine before, bold and incisive.
Now it's more like trying to read a bus ticket in a coal bunker.

I'm relieved it's not just me who dislikes it. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes - they were aching after a short time on here. Oh well, that'll stop me spending too much time on DS.

If this font lasts I will have a gleaming house and a spotless garden , Reminds me of trying to read the small print on a holiday insurance form |

My page is still blue but I see some purple text.
My big problem is that it seems to have been done to squeeze even more adverts on the page. I can't stand the ads with animation and a lot of ads don't fit on the page properly when the page isn't maximised. ![]() Hope they fix things fast. |

Hey guys don't you think DS site has lost its identity now.
I mean, theyve thrown it on standard template and now it looks like a standard site. The web designers haven't realised that the old quirky DS site had an identity it felt homely - now it blends with all the other corporate sites. DS get your money back from the web designers they have missed the mark massively. |

AWFUL!
The writing is far too small and the purple colour looks as if they are in mourning for something. On my hospital ward, the shrouds always had a purple edge to them!! I can understand wanting more room, but why change the colour? |

Blue seems a bit too butch for Strictly!
Abba, I'm only having a laugh but I think your trademark is you full stops and commas that land half a mile away from the words that precede them! Sid , LOL , my daughter keeps telling me this , to keep away from the space bar !!! Apparently I keep tipping it and my words are " ten feet apart " I am just pleased that in my old age I learned to half type I hate newness and am in a huffy form now as my glases just wont decipher this awful font . |

I don't like it, but I expect I'll get used to it.

Yep, text a bit too small for me too.
I expect its to fit in more ads. Which I don't mind but PLEASE stop these targeted ads based on my browsing history. My daughter saw what I'd been looking at for her birthday present the other day, Cheers DS! |

Control plus '+' button enlarges the view on most browsers.
The forums have been playing up for months with posts not showing and adverts obscuring what people have written so I don't think you can say they're not broke! |

The only purple I have is the thread title and the submit button .Purple is not my issue ,the fact I cant read the script is far more annoying ,I have a headache now from squinting and if I increase the text size its too big and in my face .
My bug bear is the ads that sit on top of text. |
