Hello PHers and welcome to your new look forums!

Am I a white mouse in a vast experiment

[Steve_D]

Sorry don't like it at all.
can we have the old one back...what was wrong with it.

Why did you have to fiddle with something which was previously fine?

No, I do NOT like the new look - is there a way to view the 'classic' style?

Last visit thing is still fked. Takes me to any posts made since my last forum visit, which means when I'm clicking on a new thread that I've never read I might start on page 3....

Looks ghastly in Chrome. Poor effort.

Try it on chrome mobile requesting desktop site, genuinely makes my eyes hurt, and the mobile site is fking awful.



It seems the idea of "fixing" this page is to just keep stabbing blindly in the dark hoping it will work and they'll get it right, when really it was right to start with.

What a complete and utter fking mess.

As an aside, this fresh round of outrage, and new posters to this thread, seems to imply that maybe some people were indeed happily using the GTI "skin" (sic) after all and perhaps this is the first time they have seen anything different and worth complaining about.

Hey, we're only 100 pages in. Still a trifle early to expect folk to have read any of the 200 or so posts where this has been explained, over and over and over again.

I'm taking a break from measuring General Arrangements and engineering drawings for a new development, switching between PDFs on a Macbook with retina display and a horrid work Toshiba laptop with terrible resolution, which I'm using for Excel.

My eyes only started to hurt when I came on PistonHeads for a break.



Objectionable all round, really.

As I understand it, it's because the page is assembled on the server, and sent to your browser, and then some Javascript on the client side (ie. in your browser) then modifies that to alter the formatting on one's own posts (or quotations of one's posts), and they haven't got that right yet. I guess it's so they don't have to render a different page for every user - the user-specific formatting is done on the user's device.

This applies to me, I've been using the gti skin for as long as i can remember.

It wasn't great web design or particularly slick and modern but at least it didn't make my eyes hurt.

Yup, a PH member contributed the original .js that turns your own posts blue, there's a post about it on here somewhere. Just needs tweaking to work with the recent 'skin' change.

I thought my computer was playing silly buggers earlier when I loaded Pistonheads. After finding this, I now know why! I've got pretty good eyesight and I have to be honest, it really hurts my eyes to use the forums. I'm going to sit and try to read all of the presumably logical reasons why its happened. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, maybe the kerning is amiss?

This is on Internet explorer



This is on Chrome

Why does it take me to the last viewed point which is never actually the last point I viewed a thread.

For example I clicked on this one for the first time in a few days and it take me to a post a couple of hours ago.

[nickwilcock]

Is someone from the PH management going to accept that this 'new look' is a total screw up, accept the criticism and return to the vastly preferable previous version?

[Podie]

Amazing.

The site now looks like a GCSE school project in Computer skills, circa 1996.

What has happened to PH - it was fine until today - I thought i was already on the new skin?

Why are all the fonts so big?

[SystemParanoia]

lost my GTI skin today
