The new boards will take some getting used to, but look nice and clean. I would like to suggest a couple of improvements;
1. Savings & Investments. Split Savings and Investments into two separate boards. They are not really the same, and putting an Investments board under the "Banking & Borrowing" area makes little sense. This board tends to have far more investment threads on it than it does banking threads.
2. Pensions, annuities & retirement planning. This should be far more closely associated with Investments than it should "Work, benefits & business". Granted, work is where most people start building a pension, but a quick look through the board shows that the majority of posts are about investing, or technical pension queries rather than anything to do with Work, or benefits, or business.

Hello HappyHarry,

Thanks for making some great suggestions. Consider it noted! 

Best wishes,

I'm really struggling to find the boards I usually use - partly because they are not listed inside any of the little boxes and partly because the writing is so tiny I can barely read it.  When I do access a board it is again too small to read comfortably - and this is made more annoying by the huge amount of blank space on either side of the screen - the board only takes up 50% of the screen size.  Please at least address the problem I and others are having with the size of the text - no matter how good the content it is useless to anyone if we can't read it!
Off to try and track down the boards I use most frequently - wish me luck!

Hi 2childmum2,

A few people want the font size to be bigger. Don't worry - we're already speaking to our designer about it.

Sorry you can't find your fave boards - tell us which ones they are and we'll help you.

Best,

I've filled out the feedback form

I do like the 'keep it kind and clean' which people should do anyway, but I think people still need to be able to express their opinions and thoughts.

Ah... so this is why everything is way too far over to the right and looks weird? Why is there a massive (6cm) expanse of no-mans-land to the left of the headers? This means the posts are 15cm across the page and the posters Is 11cm across..

Can it be moved to the left where is should be?

Where the hell has latest/newest posts tab gone

Simply remove the stuff on the left of the threads and that increases the space for threads by 1/3.
If any of the stuff in the column on the left is needed (doubtful) it could be put in one line at the top of the page.

Lets hope this change was better than the last change!

From what I can gather ... this change is more of a style/skin tweak; the previous change was root-and-branch (i.e. a different forum platform).

I'm getting more used to it ... but only because I've applied my own tweaks - there's no way I could use the forum in it's standard form.

Sorted it....Nothing left but the actual threads. Nothing on the left or right and the bottom gone....Everything else has been banished as it was of no use what so ever. Still a bit too much for my liking at the top, but, I'll work on it.
