Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm impressed with how much faster the pages load.
Navigating around isn't much different really, just ask anyone who has "upgraded" to Office 2007

Like SteveandKelly, we had a problem logging in with an & in our username. Jon changed it to Harry'n'Doreen and it didn't like the ' in the user name either. All sorted now and huge thanks to Jon for his help.

No they are stuck in the snow jams

I like it, well done Jon, if he were to have started off with this layout and changed to one similar to the old style I bet there still would have been people complaining. I suppose it's to be expected, the reason a lot of people still own morris minors is because they are resistant to change!

I'm just posting this to show I'm still here!

I don't mind it myself. One thing I think may need changing and might be what is causing 'headaches' is that the colours are very light. Maybe dull down the blues. I am 18 and my eyes are aching a bit looking at it too long. The shade of grey of the title bar is fine.
Apart from that I like the neat look.

thats mega better with the wide screen makes reading posts a lot easier!!!

Yer definately. Also means pictures don't widen the screen so we have to scroll too. The size is perfect!

But it's still far too narrow - with wide band of empty white - now on left, was on right!
I see some say 'wide screen' - well - NOT on my computer!
And there are definitely far less posts these last few days!

i think i have noticed a lack of postings compared with before

Maybe it's just the weather putting people off. There are those of us that are on here all the time but there are also those who only come on when they have something to ask/update us with in regards to working on their car. The weather is stopping people working on their cars therefore no questions/updates to post.

Well done John
looks good to me
Keep up the good work

Some people seem to have trouble with the blue background. I'm going to change that, and hopefully darken the text a bit.

They just like to keep you bissy

Darkening the text sounds good to me. The new look is taking some getting use to but it seems faster.

Yes - darker/heavier text and wider screen (ie no adverts) would be great!

I've been practicing a 30 minute presentation I have to do a work, normally I would be browsing this site. It's nothing to do with the upgrade at all. Fail to prepare.. prepare to fail is my moto when it comes to presentations!

We like the new layout. Took a while to navigate our way around but like everything else you get used to it.Good work Jon !

I am also back. Having a few problems with rembering my password etc. As I am still new to the forum, the "new look" didn't bother me much. I suppose that the more I use it the more I will get use to the new look. It still contains a great deal of infomation on almost every topic under the sun, It's provides a great deal of amusement and is a great tool for making friends.

Keep it up...
Raymond.

I find the site is very slow in IE, just constantly get blank pages, but no probs in Firefox....
