When following a link it used to open in another window now it doesn't and if the site you go to is one of those annoying ones that stop the "back" button working then you're stuffed. Please have links open in new window, thanks

Doesn't help smudge or Jan I know, but I'm on IE and I can see the lines inbetween the posts without any problems, so....ner ner ner ner ladies ;-)

smudge

lol - I can see lines under each 'red question' BOO, but not inbetween answers, can you?

B00

Yeah Smudge, there's a long . . . . .. . . . .. . . under each answer.

jno

I get a dotted line between the answers; I'm on Firefox.

Has everyone cleared their Caches?

Individual elements can be reported now.

Try subscribing to threads - it works quite nicely, although I want to move it up a bit.

At least it is nearly the weekend!

All the best,

What is going on? too many problems to list them all!

1. Every question is outside the white test area.
2. Where there are multiple answers over the page limit, there is no means of accessing beyond the first 20 or however many it is.
3. Type size for writing questions is miles too small, get eye ache just trying to read it.
4.Go back to the top to post an answer - you've got to be joking!
5. You have to hunt to see who write the replies - what on earth is the strange people logos about? It adds nothing .
6. I'm using Mozilla - is it compulsory to use IE8? If so it will be goodbye, Androcles, as AB is almost unusable in this state.

Hi Ed, I'm sure this has been mentioned but would it be possible to be able to open all 'Topics' again?

B00

Oh how odd (ok, enough about me...)

I'm on another PC now and on this one there's no lines inbetween each reply.

Robinia

ha! so ner ner to you too B00! :o)
I'm on IE and I need lines please, I grew up doing lines every day...

I like the avatars, profile, new look, report answer button - its great!

Suggestions to make it even better are: -

1) Like ummmm says to have a post an answer bit at the bottom of the screen as well as at the top. It would also bequite handy to have a refresh recent posts window at the bottom of the screen as well as at the top to save scrolling.

2) Like others have said it would be good if you could bring back the refresh recent posts button and to list recent answers rather than just recent questions.

3) Where can we look at the posts we have made and answers we have given? I couldn't find it in my profile yesterday (haven't yet looked today so apologies if already sorted) if not sorted would be good to have that back.

4) I think a change of colour would be quite nice from time to time. Getting bored of orange and red. Could you maybe have different colour themes each month maybe or if not that frequent each year.

Can't think of anything else for now.

Oh one more niggle - it would have been nice if we had been informed of exactly when the change over was happening. It seems to have been pending for ages and ages and then all of a sudden its sprung on us from nowhere.

Otherwise, good job ab! :-)
