Hello

It's looking better with the "cloud" at the bottom not so confusing.

Cheers

I've just noticed, three of us on the 'name cloud' have hatted capital A's (can't remember the proper name for them!) inserted in our names, ? why Dan?

Deb, I noticed that, I thought you had changed your name.

It looks as though it is appearing on people who have a space between two words in their name.... :-\

Why is the Front Page wider than my screen? Or is it just the way my computer's set up?

Now that is odd!

I'll look into it.

It should appear on a Mac, hmmm

Not sure,

Can you tell me what computer / browser you use, and what your screen resolution is?

As you were - it's OK now! (Isn't this fun? Good on you, Dan, to choose a day to do this when it's falling down with rain and we can't go to the allotment!)

I'm using Firefox & Windows 98. Not sure of the screen resolution - I'd have to look that up.

My name is even bigger now, I am not comfortable with that. I am going to stop posting and be a watcher only. XX Jeannine

LOL, I'm the complete opposite Jeannine, I'm tempted to keep on posting just to 'see how big it can get'!!! ;D ;D ;D

I wonder what that says about me.......... :-\ ;D

I like it Dan, but perhaps subjects more important than posters?

You wouldn't be able to stop yourself from posting? I remember about 2-3 years ago trying to keep up with EJ's post count! but gave up.

Just found a couple of buttons to the left of "Home" which shrink & expand the page. Were they there earlier? Clever....

I am confused - I dont have clouds on my front page - it just seems to list who has posted and what the topic is but without the helpful breakdown into categories (edible, recipes, drinks, basics, etc). Have I got a different version to everyone else?
Must say I preferred to old version but maybe my computer is giving me a third way.....

Through trial & error, I've discovered that whenever I click on "Refresh", the front page jumps to fit my screen; if I get to it through any other means, it's still too wide. (My screen resolution is 1024x768.)

have to say it is very rare that I use the front page ... only if I've accidentally closed my tab, so I'm not really perturbed by the change, but I did find the clouds a little confusing when I first looked.  It's clearer now and I have minimised the poster cloud.  I don't mind the colours, although blue text is the colour that I struggle to read generally - what colour was it before ?

I do not see the point in the new front page, the original front page provided an informative snapshot of the site, and a newcomer rapidly became orientated on subject matter of choice. I accept that there may be technical reasons for changing, which would not bore me, but find nothing of value in the new page.

I have reset my link to the forum page, I guess this will operate as normal.
