i do not like the latest alterations to the site, i may be a luddite but things do not seem as clear as they used to be.

[AB Editor]

Hi Carandrog - could you identify which parts seem less clear, and maybe what you think is to blame?

All the best,

Spare Ed

Hello Spare Ed

I like the black lettering for categories and usernames - very clear. Not so keen on the colour of the question title - could be more positive - and would like to see a line between the end of one post (the '2 answers' bit) and the title of the next question; it's difficult to distinguish one from the other.

tearinghair, I have a line between the questions. I had this problem a while back but it seems to have resolved it's self.

[tearinghair]

Thanks Jimjools. Prompted by your answer, I tried ControL+ F5 and there is now a space between the two.
Good luck with KM and MM tomorrow!

[AB Editor]

There is a line between the recent post "blocks" - but it is more of a subtle "crease" than the old "dotted" separator. If you can't see it, and you fear it may not be rendering on your screen hit Ctrl+f5.

I am collecting up all your comments so the next version can see some further improvement.

All the best,

Spare Ed

Hi Spare Ed
Sorry to be so long in replying (I'm away for a few days).I felt it was better with the title in larger capitals, easier to see and identify. Not enough separation between postings, a line was better. I tried CTRL and F5 but all it did was a very lengthy refresh (probably not helped by using a dongle in the outbacks of Wales) Still love AB
and get paranoid when things change - due to age I suppose. Keep up the good work.

[Caran]

Just refreshed and the separation lines have appeared making it much better.

Can you help Ed/Spare Ed? If you look at Editor's Blog you'll see I've a problem with the Search button for searching AB (sorry, I don't know how to post a link). Have done everything I can think of, including control +f5 and re-booting the computer. Still the same. None else seems to have this problem.

tearinghair, this has been reported by others and I think the Eds are looking into it.

[tearinghair]

Thank you, jno. I queried it in Ed's blog and the replies there suggested no-one else had this problem. Glad it's not just me.
