    I preferred the old version but I suppose we have to move on with the times.....it will take me a few days to get used to the new colours, spacing etc though!

    I am on the squished green version (fixed masthead) middle option in between 2 others. this morning there was a stretchy green version, but it's since disappeared.

    I'm going to start looking at other comping websites - because the new blue with pale grey font version lacks contrast. All the wrong bits stand out on that version.

    Actually, the weekly email is less useful (same old, same old) than it was a few years ago, so I might just dump MSE altogether. Funny how Martin's weekly twitter poll never mentions "Do you like the new forum design".

    Hi folks

    Turning off old forum versions

    Work to switch the forum to HTTPS needs to be done on all versions (skins) of the forum. To reduce the time and resource it takes to make the switch we need to switch off some of those old forum skins and migrate the forum members who are on them to a newer skin (the one prior to the new blue skin). This will affect around 1,000 of you. You will still be on an old, green version of the Forum and will, of course, still be able to choose to switch to the newest, blue version if you decide to. We're sorry this may affect your use of the Forum. Our priority, though, has to be the security of the site.

    The New Masthead, stretchy is no longer an option.

    If you want green you must choose New Masthead, fixed width

    If you want blue you can choose Use Forum Default

    If you choose the green version and don't like the space at each side then you can Zoom the page by 110% or 125%. This is especially useful for those with sight problems.

    not happy, need glasses anyway to see but this has made everything smaller
    as I would think there are more "older" compers than younger ones the powers that be should think of this and if anything enlarge the site!!!!

    For the past few days the site has been really slow for me so I had a feeling updates were going on behind closed doors.....the one positive thing about the new verson is that it is running fast for me :)

    My page is already at zoom 150% and the writing is still smaller for me than before don't know why they couldn't keep the stretchy setting as there must be more people on me here that don't have good eye sight, I managed to get the stretch view this morning but not there anymore
    Thanks to all who post comps :)
