Hi,

I would hope the majority of problems have now been addressed: times, number of posts, text size and slight change of background colour.

Cheers
Darren

don’t get me wrong I like the fresh modernity,
Some seem to have no problem with it, but some of us are finding the experience unpleasant, maybe we are the borderline epilepsy/ migraine group, but its not making us feel well. sorry.

thanks Darren for making a special thread here and thanks people for swift contributions.

I think everything has now been covered,
except maybe the striplight epileptic fit inducing effect of this white background.

Together with the small text pephaps and surrounding space seems to be making me feel sick, as I struggle to read. When I look away from the screen I feel a bit blinded, maybe we’ll all be fitting by race day, can’t be good… So mellow coloured background please, I liked the cheltenham sites background.
Thanks.

Admin for your web team to increase the size of all the posts to fill the page more (tons of wasted white blocks of space either side of text) and thus make print much bigger into the bargain should be very simple?

Admin, hows about adding a edit feature to the blog, so that once up the blogger has say 5 minutes to tidy up their message, in case the original draft was not what they wanted to print.

A few messages are corrections to previous blogs and I just thought it might save space.

Hi I storyboard websites, so hopefully I do know a little..
There are huge wastes of space with the new layout – big block strips of white space on either side – not using your page’s available space at all well. As a result the centre strip only is used and the text is tiny.
Post entries need to be numbered and timed.
Having all on one page tho is great.
Main issue is: use up all page to make text MUCH larger and not contained in one centre strip. Thanks
