A waste of space ?

I'm not to sure that I can find fault with the new GR lay out. What does come to mind is the waste of screen space, lots of empty space and it glares, which may account for some complaining about the lack of contrast. I know my missus finds fault with me wearing green and blue at the same time, can't think why ? Ran foul on looking for 'resources', but a helping hand was close by. The printing seems adequate, certainly larger and clearer. Not sure about 'smilies', we have sufficient with Ms Pace, no, I think the space could be used constuctively, but no idea how. Over to you Brains, any offers. Derek in France. PS Has anyone heard Timi Yuro singing 'Hurt', loved Elvis, but this was a better rendition.

Yes Di, At one time there was a saying "Blue with green should never be seen", but that is old fashioned. In fact navy blue and green go very well together. Sylvia

I always thought it was red & green should never be seen.

Hi Terry, that was my point really, not the colour choices. An improvement however, Derek

Quite like the new layout - apart from what every one else has said - the strips of blue each side. I thought the saying was Blie and green should never be seen except a colour in between Liz

Now discovered something even more strange - the strips down either side of my screen are white! There's a thread about this on the Tips board, and I've asked if anyone can tell me how to get the page to fit the screen. Mandy :)

I feel I just want to get the piece of paper in the middle. And stretch until it goes right across the screen. I cant read any more as all I can see is the stupid stripes. Ok yes they have added a few things like we can now see ourselves when our membership is up and see if we have messages. But couldnt they still had done all that without changing colours and text and making the whole layout smaller. I just hat change and I hate having to get used to this. And why on earth do I want to see the success board each time. I would like the option to go what to I want to each time. I'm sorry just feel like a good old moan.

Hi Lynda Not being rude but are you not a couple of years older than me. And I already have three sisters I dont think I want another one. Hi Shan I think there are a lot of people happy with the layout but not the colours. I dont think I like any of it at all.

Oh no! I would love you as a sister, my other sisters get on my nerves. The younger one is ok but the 2 older ones really get on my nerves sometimes. If you are nice to me all the time then yes I think I would like you as a sis.
