A bit too squished. They could make the page a bit bigger (about 4") and make the Board Summary a bit smaller.

I like the family tree page. The text on the boards is a little small. Am I right in saying there is no delete button? That would be a great improvement.

Edit - no delete button is still there:((

Also it says at the bottom that if we wish to report any abuse we can alert a moderator, does that mean we have some now. No delete button either which is good.

Just checked out the shop.

Wii Fit is 100 pounds. I paid $100!
If I ordered something do you thing that they would ship it here? Maybe they should get a Canadian, Australian, American shopping tab?

Sue, the delete button is still there.

This is really hurting my eyes, have sent GR a message. Probably will not reply as they are too busy congratulating themselves.

I agree Gail. It is too harsh on the eyes.

I'm being very serious when I say this, but I am getting a headache because of the contrast/brightness/colour of the boards.
I have light sensitive eyes and get immediate headaches if it is too bright.

I don't like it either. It feels that we are being pushed out of the way to make room for adverts. Is this site now for the advertisers benefit and not Genes members?

David it is not just the eye strain, I am partially sighted and could manage to read the boards before because of the colour and layout. This is terribly hard for me to see and like Debs I have an awful headache now. I may have to consider not renewing my subs when the time comes, no point if I can't read messages. It will be a shame as I am disabled and housebound and made a lot of friends on here, it's a lifeline to me. I'm very disappointed in the change.
