    did anyone test it in ie8 or 9. Any xp users who stumble on this site, probably won't stay long.

    it's awful.

    What I find strange with all these changes foisted upon us from time to time, is why can't people see it's awful before hitting the go button? It happens every time. You'll get used to it, or you can choose the style when (if) you login, is not the answer.

    The old one is just fine!!! The new one: everything just blends into each other. Very hard to follow.
    Do remember that quite a lot of us are not Teach. savvy, and don't change browsers; so please if it isn't broken don't fix it.

    testing is not supposed to be done on live systems.

    it's not just awful, it's unusable.

    The eye has to hunt around for the login button amongst a ton of clutter - 6 seconds timer rule. Reminds me of many of our beloved banks and utilities websites, who do everything they can to hide the contact us/phone us information

    where's the usercp, why is it not retaining logins, how do you edit a post, why is it yoyoing between new and old formats, which browsers are supported?

    Thank goodness it changes back when you log-in.

    Don't like the open-plan style. :(

    Don't like it. Sent them an email saying so!

    I find it very hard to read - the layout is weird and I don't like the colour choice.

    I was so relieved to find the old one back when I logged in!!!
