Does the new site grow on you?

[Flat6Driver]

I used to check out the classifieds every day, but now with the new format, where you can't see all ads in one place, I have quit looking at the classifieds at all.

I haven't looked at the classifieds since the LAST upgrade. I like the format where the classifieds scrolled across the top, or middle or whatever.

They changed to a system of 'lightweight' fonts that are intended to make pages render a bit faster. The fonts look thin and are more difficult to read. They also seem to have, inexplicably, changed the main font color to something with less contrast.

It's like they didn't consider that the typical member, here, is 40-70+ years old. Our eyes are that old, too.

It's things like this that they broke trying to fix stuff that was working well.

The upgrade is harder to see for people 3-score and 10+. The print is too light and too small. It was easier to read before for my demographic. But I'm still here and otherwise love this place.

It would be great if everybody would make their posts bold. And maybe larger.

I miss the most recent threads always being on display. I'm always using my phone, not a computer, so everything else that changed balanced the good with the bad besides that.

Is this what you are after? If not, maybe set your browser zoom to 200%?

I like it.

I miss not having the new posts on the home page, but when they did I wanted to filter them to display only the ones I'm interested in.

At least this way I can view the specific content I'm interested in. With a few clicks.

I don't really have a problem with the new design. But I'm a recently retired IT guy, and a MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer) so I'm used to change for the sake of change.

I’d shake my fist at the sky, but I don’t like the new clouds either.

I don't even remember what the old site looked like anymore.

I think ... it was on GeoCities

Yeah, like many I'm not a fan of the fonts- harder to read, especially on my phone. There's just something that I can't quite put my finger on that makes it seem less inviting. But oh well, its a free site, so I can't complain.

Sure you can complain. Free or not, the level of usability has been reduced in an online resource that's provided to us.

I'd prefer it if the site just used Ariel or sans-serif fonts that are readable and universal for all browsers for the last 35+ years.

Click New Posts. Bookmark that in your browser. Clicking the bookmark opens your 'home page' that displays what you want to see.
