As you can see Steve has made a few minor ;) changes to the forum.

Because of the major changes that have been made there will be issues to be ironed out.

Could you post any issues here please so they are all in one place.


It will be easier for us to read through them this way, and get them sorted faster.

Cheers Guys

My opinion of the New Look is not initially a good one...
  • I think the formatting is too large.
  • Navigating needs more mouse-clicks.
  • The pop-up when you hover over a postee's name is out of line.
  • Top (menu header) doesn't seem to match up.
These are just what I see... I am wondering if others are viewing the new format different to me - I use Firefox on both XP and Win7 machines...
I'll try to upload some screenshots this weekend. xxxx

To be brutally honest ,I prefer the look of the old forum,nice bright,clean and proffesional looking.This new one looks a bit 'cheap' for want of a better word,looks like a 'home made freebie forum' if that makes sense ??
Also it doesnt have the 'go to 1st unread post' widget on the thread title,and also the posts are very narrow in comparison to the page and rest of the site ?? Also you cant see if you have already posted in a thread as there is no longer a symbol with the thread title that lets you know :(

This is just my own personal opinion but would also like to say well done for constantly working to progress the club/forum :)

Its free anyway so how could I possibly moan?

My only gripe is that I have to sign in every-time, even though I have ticked the box to remember me, otherwise nice work lads. :D
