	Hi Alan , I don't see the WOW factor either but on 'my screen' I think it looks like an improvement (even though I don't really like it yet). Problem is - we all seem to be seeing diffent things at the moment. Best wishes (to Grandad silly) From Dea (Granny thick!) Dea x

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 1,190 Send Message	Hi Dea, Call me Mr Grandad Silly...........Just dont see The WOW factor....and as for the "ads" on the left, they're a stupid distraction. It's a cross we will have to bear for using this site.

	Again, I think it is down to how we have our screens set! I do not have any glare and very few moving adverts which do not seem to annoy?? We need someone here to tell us how to set thing up please! Dea x

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 3,927 Send Message	Constant adverts on the left are irritating box on left tioo big (Boards Summary) I would have preferred GR to try and sort out the amount of old threads that are answered and members are taking the trouble and time to inform the poster has replied to an old thread

	Hi Alan, I have to say - I am struggling with it - I HATE change !! I find it very difficult when I have to re-find my way about !!(I AM a grannie after all!). However, the site WAS very basic and does need to be 'brought up to date' so I think it is a 'much needed' step in the right direction but I don't like it 'yet' as I don't know how it works 'yet' ! Work with it!! - I am sure it will be an improvement in the end. Dea x

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 1,190 Send Message	Call me Mr Silly, but what's the point of the re - designed layout? After 20 mins or so faffing about I can see no appreciable benefit.

	Thank you Debbie - I don't feel quite so 'thick' now I have your support! Dea x OOOOpps - Sorry - I didn't mean that to sound like an insult - It is just that I am not very 'computer literate' and you seemed to understand !! Dea x P.S. - I think I will go away now before I dig myself a deeper hole - I DO hope you understand what I meant! Dea x

	I think we all have our pages set differently?? I don't seem to have any more adverts than usual - In fact - those 'flippin kissy parrots' have gone - MUST be a bonus as they were driving me mad! Perhaps someone who knows what they are talking about (rather than me) could tell us how to set our pages to get rid of those annoyances! ??? Dea x

Member Since: February 2008 Posts: 91 Send Message	Hi Everyone., Well, I don't know what to think, took me a while to find the rely button, how strange it is at the top of the page and cant see the last reply when you add yours.......................... Sorry I don't like it ............. text is way to small, and giving me a headache and I have only been on the site for 15 minutes, I usually spend at least a hour or so going through the threads. ................cheers Lois

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 212 Send Message	Hi all it seems some are loving it, and other struggling..... I hope we get used to it over time, I guess it has cost a lot to re design this web site, so it is only fair to give GR a chance.... Happy Tree Hunters Valerie x

	I see they have taken note of one comment and made the text a little larger - thank you ! Perhaps we could also have the column to the left with tools etc. and adverts, somewhat narrower? It does tend to 'dominate' at the moment. Dea x
