I have to agree with Sue that the new site is not working well on my iPhone 4. I've always logged on using my phone & I thought the site was very easy to use. Please give us the option of not using the mobile site! At least for me it seems that the mobile site has more trouble loading properly. The first time I tried to access the database I got a blank screen. That never happened before.

lovemyhouse said:Marilyn, you could go to your site preferences and add the URL. That way it is always clickable from the left column.


I just added it the my custom menubar, saved it, but when I click on it, it doesn't have a hyperlink that I was expecting. Is that the way (not way) it is suppose to be? Confused

I don't. It's difficult for me to see. However, I know the red indicates new content. I would rather it be in a bolder typeface.

I also made pretty hefty changes to the homepage. On desktops and tablets nothing changed but for mobile phones it's a much improved and cleaner layout today.

Thank you, that's much better with the single lines Hurray! I'm seeing more overlap too, though, here's an example:

Um, not really liking the scrolly font used to announce New...just looks out of place, but it's probably the graphic designer in me...

Since a few of you have mentioned the new red "New"...
the fancy font makes me feel under-dressed; like maybe I should have worn shoes.

I don't care one way or another, but I do like New better than Yes (Yes reminds me of the old site). But for those who don't care for the fancy font, maybe italics instead? New

Maybe if the "New" column were a little wider, the word would be easier to read. The watched thread name doesn't even half fill it's column anyway. As it is it looks a little unbalanced.
