I haven't read the rest of the topic,

Presumably you had to get back to monitoring your bets ...

but please PLEASE get rid of that horrible green theme look you have, it reminds me of the old fashioned bathrooms!!

The green theme reminds me of the turf of football grounds, race courses, golf tournaments, etc.
Don't you think so?

So's mine. And I don't like the new look.

This new layout does not work correctly in firefox or chrome browsers.

Scrolling up and down the screen on a desktop PC does not work - holding the middle button to scroll does not work.

The forum spacing is also not correctly set up according to the browser window size. It seems to be formatting the forum according to "screen size" not "window size", As a result, the forum doesn't work, if I have 2 browser windows tiled side-by-side on my screen.

Anybody else having problems logging in to the new style? Or I am missing something obvious?

I can't seem to log in from the main login at the top of the page (that brings up a splash screen) and can only log in by going in to a thread and clicking quick reply.

OK here. I can log in using the pop up lightbox using the main link at top of the page.

Any particular browser it's not working in?

Not working on IE9 for me, but just checked and Firefox is working fine.

As I can't see anyone else saying the same I guess it may just be an local issue for me. Will try another computer later and see if that is a different result.

In previous years, when there was another 'new format' that had a narrow display like this one, there was an option to select a wide display that would make full use of the screen. Where is that with this 'new format'?

Bump. I still seek the 'wide' setting; it's unusable if the only setting is only half the screen width; they realised that before and enabled it in the settings/options but I can't find it this time.

Not that I ever see it at the moment, I wouldn't have known it existed but for a couple of threads in unexpected places!!

There isn't a wide setting for the new design. At present.

And yes I agree, that does make it look pretty awful on a decent wide screen laptop or Desktop.

On the new style (not logged in), when on the Essential Money sub section - I see the Stoozing sub board twice.

And on Household & Travel sub section I see the Water Bills and LPG... boards twice.

fermi

Ditto. That is not very good.
