I like the idea of the left nav but it does seem to steal a lot of screen space from
hmmm - the laft navigation is not new...
it is hard on the eyes
but does match the van and camper colours in your signature pic!

Maybe not, but the new scheme makes it appear more intrusive.

I like it. It certainly isn't hard to read on my monitor, or hard on the eyes. If there is no going back, I assume this layout makes it easier for the "behind the scenes people" to keep the site going.

It sto make it easier to differentiate one post from the next - the colour choice is just the way its set up - can be chancged to pretty much anything from the backend.
Guess whatever the choice was it wasnt going to please everyone, but hey the content & advice on here more than makes up for it whatever the colour scheme

I like it.
However, it looks fine on my laptop, but the white is too bright on my desktop with CRT Monitor.
If I turn the brightness down the photos look poor.
My vote would be for a different contrast colour and not bright white.

Anything not toally out of date will be brought froward soon. Funstuff and Postcards may not as they're more tricky to change.

To whome it may concern - great job on the new format!
The board looked dated before compared to other php ones I visit. Now its up there with the best.

I like it but agree with other comments - centre actual mesage area, loose PostNuke logo and maybe change message background from white to light grey.
Overall a lot better and thanks to whoever has spent all the time doing the work - it's an improvement and I assume the few "negatives" can be fine tuned over time.

Hey folks, please give the guy a chance. The change to the web has been requested by the National Committee and has been carried out by one person. Consequently it cannot all be completed in one attempt and will of course need "finetuning". However can I also point out that all this work is completely voluntary and has taken many hours of evenings.
So come on guys cut the Webgenie a bit of slack and lets just be grateful that we have a good site and can talk to all our fellow members all over the morris world and help each other with our problems/queries.

Well done all your hard work is much appreciated.
I must be getting older it's not 24 hrs since the change and i'm struggling to remember what it looked like before.I know its in colour but It is still a silent movie isnt it? or should i invest in speakers for my computer?

What a wonderful surprise! I reckon the new site certainly looks more modern than the old and is equally comparable to other forums I frequent.
As for the issues with size, (matron...) there's no trouble on my laptop, but that's got a 1680x1050 screen. Make the text clear and easy to read with plenty of space for content. However, I haven't got a clue what the writing on the bonnet flash is... I'm sure that in time the graphics side of the board and website to which it is now integrated will be improved and streamlined.
A big thumbs up!
Well done.
