I think we should give some credit to the technical dept at PH for the work done so far to drag PH into the 20th century.
How every "British" of you. It's often said that we'll clap anything !

Seriously though, giving credit to someone for producing this ste is like thanking somone for letting their dog crap on your front lawn.

Not only is it unwarranted but it's quite likely to result in lots more st coming your way.
hehe

I knew it would get somebody but two is very satisfying.

I need to order some more pollys.

Some brief understanding of WCAG 2.0 might help too.

I much prefer the new look, it's a lot more modern. A few things need improving (and I'm sure they will be) but I like the subtle colours. I think the line spacing is a bit too tight when reading paragraphs, might help to increase that.
Better go to Specsavers.

I'm finding this all very odd. For me it's a massive improvement on all the platforms I use. Looks clean and more modern. No problems for me with quotes or colour scheme.

I seem to be in the minority.
Same here, far easier on the eye and a big step forwards.

Not sure if server or local (I could find out but I CBA) but it doesn't work with multi-quotes if one of the quotes is your own.
There was an open bug report for that. Looks like they haven't yet resolved it.

I can live with the look but the quotes do need sorting.
They are broken currently (were not before).
The "bubble" format is hard to read.

Given the normal rate of progress for fixing bugs I shall make a note in my diary for 2022 to check if they've fixed it yet.

It's incredible that such large text can be so hard to read.

Likewise. It's similar to what we've always had, but cleaner and more modern less ancient.

Testing'd be nice, sure - there's obviously some browser-compatibility wrinkles going on, as well as a few other little bits, but on the whole, it's really not that bad. It's a step forward without being a radical change.

It's almost certainly just one step towards the end position, with a solid base skin properly extracted from the underlying functionality - so that the skin can then have options or be tailored more easily.

I preferred the old look, but probably just because I was used to it for so long.

Works OK for me.

Don't know why everyone is so vociferous, it's not that bad, especially compared to most other fora.
