As long as the font and lines and every other annoying change remains. I'll check back later for some improvment.

I contacted Genes about it,I reported it as a problem and they have answered saying to bear with them they are getting the Technical team on to it and they are hoping it will be resolved as soon as possible. Let's hope it is resolved soon. Pat x

Oh great. Thank you Pat. I'll go for now too. My eyes are realy suffering. Deanna

My text hasn't changed but I do have everything underlined! Penny

Thank you Pat ... I believe several people have e.mailed them, but your the only person (so far) to have had a response ... that I know of. Dancer x

Click on View and select Text Size, then Larger and it should be better until they sort it out. Lyn

Hi everyone, I have noticed since I log on about 3pm, that the single line spacing, has changed to double spacing now, makes the threads easier to read, but still have those horrible underlines under the threads and names. please GR change it back, I don't like change, at my time of life lol......Lilly

I contacted GR earlier this afternoon and had this response almost immediately: Thanks for reporting this problem. I have passed this on to our technical team to have a look at. Please bear with us while we work to resolve this. So perhaps until they were notified, they knew nothing of the changes to the board.

Woo Hoo back to normal!!!! Gem:)))

Cant cope with this, back later and hope its back to normal.,

Font size changes. The font sizes on GR have changed to conform with accessibility guidelines - allowing the user to vary text through the browser. Then why was it smaller, I hear you say. I've now increased font sizes in the message boards, the rest of the site stays the same. I've also added more space between links to threads, I hope this makes it easier to read. Apologies for the aching eyes. GR technical staff

So it won't be going back to it's easier to read and more user-friendly old self?

I think you may need to put a thread up Estelle? Does this mean the underlining is staying as well? Donna

I had this thought maybe the underlining of the threads and authors was only seen by the full members? similiar thing to a link which normally has a line underneath. That could be so non members could only see the topics but could not click on the threads and read all the information. Well I was hoping that may have been what was happening. Thank you Estelle, maybe at the next update the Technical staff could try that, would be a brilliant update. Regards, Pat x

Very good point, Daniel! A lot less user friendly this way, but I highly doubt they'll listen to us - we're only paying members of this site after all!

Its the underlining i cant cope with.

I can't stand this anymore, it's doing my head and eyes in !!!!! 8-( Viv

To get rid of the underlining: just found this on tips board and it works!! Added by Peter Morgalla on 18/05/2005 20:00:44 Looking better now in my browsers. The underlining is due to your IE settings If you want to get rid of the underlining on web links Go Start, Controll Panel, Network and Internet Option and Internet Options This should give you the Internet Propertis dialogue box. Select the Advanced tab then scroll down under browsing until you see Underline links. Then check Hover or Never, rather than Always.

Nudge. The advice works! No more lines :-)
