Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
Overall a big improvement.
But my own biggest pet peeve remains: Could we please have the 'next page' buttons at bottom right be BIGGER? They're a little better than in the previous version, where they were truly microscopic, but hitting still requires un-necessarily precise mouse navigation. Fitt's Law says the smaller the target, the longer it takes to acquire it. This is a very important lesson of human interface design (eg see this site).

It seems that I have found a satisfactory way to ensure that I do not have to sign in each time I return to the main page after browsing a thread! By ensuring that I check the little "remember me" box upon signing in, the server remembers me until the next time I clear the cookies from IE.
Best,

Don't know if it's been mentioned but pprune now looks just like the internationalsexguide. Good info for places you've not been before!
Just a numbered other

Fixed!
Thanks the Prune team for a great facelift, and particularly for listening to, and acting on our requests.
Any of you fancy management positions in a certain loco?

I've not looked at this thread since I posted on page 1. Overall, I prefer this new site. Except I still keep getting the following every couple of pages and then being unable to get in again (via XP and IE6), despite following the instructions regarding cookies (email sent to Admin):

Annoying as an annoying thing.

Too mean to buy a long personal title
Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I have a recurring problem of being logged out while browsing, without asking for it. It doesn't matter too much as checking the "remember me" box means that I just pick up the previous session when I log back in. But it does mess up the function that takes you directly to your last unread post, and means that I either have to scroll up and down the page to look for where I left off, or go back to the forum page to request the page again.

Re: Easy on the Eye - feedback
I agree its easy on the eye but I wonder how many other readers have been totally cut off from responding to, or generating, topics. My only recourse was to reregister under another name but of course you then lose any personal title you may have paid for.

Ooh, nice!
I was working on one of my own sites yesterday and was thinking that the site changes here had settled down but the one thing I really missed was the colour scheme 
Looks great!
Rich.

Well I think the look was infinitely better 24 hours ago!
Really hate the gaudy new look of today - what do all the various font densities signify in the various fora?

My god ive just puked because of this new yellow colour!
Please, calm it down a little.
Please, calm it down a little.
I'm not sad enough to fire up PSP to find out but the yellow is just a lighter version of the deep orangey-yellow, I think - from a design pov I think it's rather nice.
Even if they change the yellow, the best thing the additional colour does is as above - quotes really stand out and it helps to break up the thread pages.
Cheers,
Rich.
