What do you all think of the new look

 

[Hotel California]

To much red !

 

[Loz]

Looks fresh, right and left borders are too wide in mobile landscape (too much white space squeezing the panels) and the gaps between the panels could be closer and the frame around the adds has too much space.

A few things not fully synced.
The link to the shop only appears in the Cali's for sale section?? Is this intended?
Then, when you go to the shop, the branding is old style branding.

I like to look & feel though so far.

On my Ipad the link to the shop is visible .
The shop's website is old style probaly becose there is nothing changed to that website
Also new icons .....

Only to "like" posts no more dislike and welcome , clever,...?

 

[calikev]

you are right wim the shop is now not part of the forum and will be changing to campervanbits in the near future

 

[Hotel California]

I assume "whats new" gives all the latest post ?

 

[MattBW]

Looks like this to me

 

[calikev]

Much improved on iPhone.

Love the new spreadsheet option. Can’t wait to use it properly to share fuel consumption statistics etc.

 

[Perfectos]

Fresh clean look
Contrasting colours for poster and subject good idea makes the subject stand out
Edge boarders spacing look fine on my device
Slightly different layout does not present any issues navigating at this stage

I've just added an option, So what's new displayed unread posts, press the arrow next to whats new and you will now also see recent posts which displays all recent posts , regardless of them being read.

Mobile portrait layout is good as the advert block is removed but I tend to use the iPad in landscape where you get the advert block top right then loads of wasted space below.
Can the advert block go below the list of posts like it is in portrait mode?

 

[Loodle]

I need to explore further, but my first impression is cold, impersonal and not an improvement..

 

[Loz]

Only works on the left if you are a left handed phone user...

 

[calikev]

you can click the arrow next to the whats new tab

 

[Loz]

The width of the menu bar is just a tad spaced out on the iPad.

So it gains a scroller for just 2 characters..

Thought I was on the Marco Polo Forum and I hope it doesn't get like my school days now there is Bad Spelling tab. One can not help being Dyslexic. The new look seems to work OK or me but a bit clinical. (in my humble view ). Keep up the hard work Admin team.

 

[Jay20cali]

Prefer the background to be in white not beige not sure I think the old style looked better

I un-subscribed from weekly digest and it says I am un-subscribed but the tick in the box says I am subscribed.
