This new look board

veryintrigued

Apart from it being very different its now more obvious on the stats on the sections.

I find it interesting that the savings section has had only half as many posts as the house buying section and two thirds of that of the banking section.

Maybe I need to get out more

I cant argue this - maybe it was necessary to change due to something becoming unsupported?

Doubt it though - didnt they have a couple of goes before at changing it (and then backing out).

I am still seeing the old look, thankfully. Probably have it jinxed now....

I think some sort of Google rule came into force today that negatively affects the search position of any website that doesn't comply with Google's latest rules. Perhaps this is the reason for the change in look.

I still have an older look. The new one was really poor with its squashed column (which looked really bad on widescreen monitors) and a colour scheme that made it harder to read. I just hope the board continues to allow the old skins.

I found the new look when I first loaded the forum, but thankfully it changed to the old look once I'd logged in :cool:.

I do not like the new look!

Shall I start a campaign to keep the status quo? (forum style, not ageing rock band:p)

I thought I'd turn on the new skin again just to see if there were any improvements...

30 seconds later switched back - 'Go to first new post' links either missing or not working. Pretty essential for anyone who visits the forums regularly.

I'd imagine it's to do with "mobilegeddon". Google will down rank sites that aren't mobile friendly

Not sure how they will rank sites that don't work on desktops or mobiles....

There needs to be a way of disabling the right hand content column, I find it really annoying it’s taking up unnecessary room on the web page and is permanently displayed on all web pages.

I actually like the new 'look' but can't cope with not having a 'view first unread' button on threads (I wish it would just default to first unread like it does on pretty much every other forum I use.

I also wish there was a single click button to jump to 'new threads' rather than going back to forums home and needing to click twice for no good reason.
