I didn't have a problem because the only thing that's good about me is my eyesight lol! However, when I came back on 5 minutes ago and refreshed the screen, everything came up bigger - and I never touched anything, honest! Mandy :))

I'm OK with the print and the new colours but don't like the wide borders either side of the window, it squashes up the topic lists too much. Also hate the underlining - shouldn't be necessary.

Researching:
Gloucestershire, Dorset, Hampshire, Derbyshire, London, Lithuania, Russia

Not been on half as much today, my eye's are killing, much too bright, maybe if they tone the outer Pale blue area it would'nt be so bad Shan

i kept wondering where these blue margins are, but as i don't have my windows open fully ( i do this cos i have loads of windows open) anyway the point i'm trying to make is that I can't see the blue margins when window is smaller Shelli

The new layout is good in some ways, but some of the old features i miss like i said in another thread you can't have more than one tree up at a time so that if you want to compare and check that you are related it takes a long time and gets very confusing. Melanie

The thingy with resizing the text using your browser is OK - as far as it goes. This resize doesn't work with the titles of the threads on each board. It's certainly taking my eyes some time to get used to it.

Hate the new font and colour scheme as they make my eyes ache. Angela
