I Hate It

[Smowball]

I have to admit I hate the new site. Maybe slightly because it's not working properly on iPads yet but just looks wrong - too big and just well, wrong. I'm not going to give up as I love the people on here and so I will persevere but it just feels so strange...

[Eleena]

Is taking some getting used to Smow .... & I'm not sure I want to ..

[Smowball]

I don't understand why it had to change in the first place

[Eleena]

Yeah, I think quite a few were having niggles with it Smow me included, but I think I'd rather put up with those niggles than this layout. Got to go to work, have a good day Smow!

Try decreasing the zoom level (to make everything smaller) or just the font size (to make only the text smaller), Smowball:

I will persevere!!

Hiya Smow, they at AB towers have stated that the old site was broken I'm not in a position to question that but do believe that they have updated everything to be more applicable to phones tablets etc... (not for me really, I prefere desktop when not busy.) It does seem odd non of us like change, remember how it was before avatars etc... It'll just take a little time to get used to, pleased that You'll persevere though... peronally I really don't like the 'Answer Now' maybe just me on that one... as in I'm gonna scratch my *** before posting thank you.

ArKsided I work in IT - I'm a social media manager but even I find the change so extreme. Just doesn't feel right anymore x

Hang in there Smow & Leena.

You are both beautiful people and AB needs people like yourselves.

You both probably found navigating here a tad tricky when you joined.

Things will get better, you both will sort things out.

Sometimes it's a matter of "tweaking" your own device, people here will help.

[Smowball]

Ahh bless you xx it just looks so different

[waterboatman]

Stick with it smow. You'll get used to it. :o}

[Arksided]

I hadn't thought about it before but orange boarders etc... made the site look warm and welcoming unlike the new look which looks cold.

I know little about things and was scundered by new site but just by chance I delete the history by clicking on the x at the top of the iPad all those pages bout 80 took a while but you know now the layout is not bad and I have the categories on the right hand side of page ,the answers are all in the boxes ,just wan thing if the history builds up again will the pages go out of aligament again

not tried kindle yet..but so far so good

[arjay]

I hate it too! I cannot make posts to request help with Radio Times/Daily and Sunday Telegraph crosswords using my laptop.
When I open the crossword section in Answerbank and try to enter the name of the puzzle I want help with nothing happens.
Do you know anyone who can rectify this matter,please?

[Arksided]

There's nothing wrong with butt sucking the Ed's catered for us all when it comes to the yanks. Xx ;-)

Snow, Did you clear your web history and then reboot (power off)? I tried refreshing and clearing history but none of it kicked in till I did a reboot and since then it's been fine.

[bhg481]

weecalf - is the history you're talking about deleting the general browser history or a history specific to AB? I'm using a desktop/laptop, so don't know what you mean by the x at the top and don't want to delete my complete browser history if I can help it..

[johnny37]

i agree. the screen layout looks a mess. i may stop using it.

[mikey4444]

Snowy.....I only use a proper computer, with CHROME and now that I have reduced the text size, its considerably less irritating than it was a couple of days ago !

Persevere is my advice. I didn't like the Tories when they first appeared again, in 2010, but now, after nearly 7 years, I am at last getting used to them !

I would like, however, all the main topics to remain in a list on the screen all the time, on the left, as they used to do.

Arjay, the 'Search Box' has moved to the right, just above
'Latest Posts' if that helps.
