What's a masthead?

Is it a normal term/word in web design?

Shiver me timbers and do I have to walk the plank?

I don't like it sorry, it's white and a tad dull looking. I don't like money supermarket's site either but still use it sorry but I have to be honest.

It isn't dull with all those rainbow colored subheadings but the dim gray is too overwhelming. It needs to be reduced in size, adjusting martin's pic and the dim grey in the footer also needs to be tweaked with some mor highlighting for the tools. I hope it goes with the forum when you replace the existing header or would you offer an option to choose our own skin colors?

So sorry I need to post again and suggest that you need a contact for site/forum feedback for those who are not regstered on the forum; for instance if someone wants martin to influence or campagin for something etc. You say that forumteam answers them but apparently they deal only with abuse.

Is it possible for the site to have a proper page on the main site for vouchers with links and a stickie on discount page that's updated? I just went to look at urban outfitters which has an offer, but you don't have a link to go through even though the site is an affiliate. Neither do you have a contact to alert you of deals. There should always be a link of all your affiliates, imo, always open for us to click and go. You could close the expired deals but there should be a link to retailers. That section is a little haphazard and that's why hotukdeals is so hot on it even though vouchers and deals are everywhere on this site.

Looks a lot sharper, great.

Great new look! The green, and white scheme looks rather dull in comparison. I love the funky new colours. Easy on the eye.

Feedback welcome (and yes I know about my photo - the folded arms is a marmite look either "means business" or "defensive" )

I just came here to say great look but that I thought the photo was somewhat defensive. Perhaps it could be a random pic from a selection, with you throttling politicians and CEOs? :money:

The coloured nav bar is fine but the logo/Martin pic/sign just looks amateur (especially the placard bit, looks very lame and unprofessional)

Is it just me that has 5inch of nothing but white space on the left and the right with everything squashed in the middle?

Nope, others are reporting the same issue (it's a "design feature", a la Microsoft )

It's mentioned in the Forum Upgrade thread in Feedback.

I prefer the new look. Sharp, crisp colours. Nice. Easy to get it stretched. Good job
