I suggest that anyone that has strong opinions on this subject send some feedback under the "Contact us" link at the bottom of the page.

Perhaps with overwhelming feedback they will see the light.

Oooh some open-minded people:))

I LIKE all the pretty colours... cheers everything up no end... and I am inclined to feel grumpy today, so it is taking a lot to please me.... I like the wallpaper, I love the pictureframes....... and have you noticed when you have clicked on *submit* there is another pretty little thingy that tells you your post has been successful... in another pretty colour.

I like most of it.

Love

Daff xxxxxxx


or maybe it was on the edit thingy.... so let's try that out... hey, has anyone tried to edit something they posted a couple of hours ago????

Nope, it has gone back to green and cream... it was a nice pinky colour earlier, very soothing, lol

Your right. Do you think GR will give us our money back.

The only way I have found to get some respite from all the flashing and twinkling of adverts and the garish colours is to move all my research over to The Geneologist. Don't think I am going to be renewing my subs here.

LOL Stevie N, love that little analogy and it makes a great deal of sense, but wouldn't you take the chair back if you'd ordered a table? You wouldn't leave the chair in your room and say...oh well, it'll grow on me.

GR never make sense to me, I think they live to cause as much disruption as possible... maybe they thought the forums were getting a little quiet...and this really has got them moving.

I quite like the new look but the adverts are a pain in the backside. Colours seem very subdued apart from the purple.
I'll give it a while before I say yay or nay .... off to have an exploration.

Oh dear lord that pm box is PURPLE!

Y'know this colourscheme is something like you'd get if I was messing around with coding (based on the fact that I'm so completely cr*p at it)...that doesn't say a lot for the so-called professionals that GR are paying!

All these videos are getting on my wick,,,any way to turn them off?

I'm all for change, but change for the better. We should start a "requirements for improvement" board.

I have worked in the information technology industry for over 25 years, helping businesses improve their performance by well thought out and collaberative development of requirements for new systems.

Did you know that even today 8 out of 10 new computer systems are deemed to be failures. That percentage hasn't changed for 20 years.

The primary reason for failure is that those who are commisioned to build or improve a system are given the wrong brief. Additionally, they don't bother to find out who all the stakeholders (users) of the system are, to find out what the real requirements are.

Hence the person paying for the work wanted a "Bookcase", the IT company built a "chair", but the customer (you and I) needed a "table".

Ello luv :o))

I quite like most of the new changes on here, but its just the writing on the board which is making me go a bit boss eyed :o))

I think its about time I had a hissy fit though, so here you go

IM LEAVING GR

There you go, Ive said it, and when i've said it enough, & whinged into my hanky for a bit *sobs*......... I'll come back.




Like tomorrow morning :o)))))

I'd start one up but I don't think there is enough interest in the subject

A william Morris dolly house then Uggers : )

Nooo, Amanda - a pm. Click on my name. I dare ya

Nor me, Jean. *Outraged of the South East*

A dolly house? LOL. I was thinking it was a bit William Morris...

Is there something wrong with me? I can't see anything to get in a tizz about.

Meercat.... I think a dash of orange here and there would look good :)
