Hi All,
Just a quick note on this new look feel layout:
After selecting a category the sub sections look crammed up and the colour bars and text blend in for my poor old eyes
White on black / dark background is not good for old eyes 
Previously I could spend hours on here but not now 
You’ll get used to it in not time, if not put Your 
on 
Hi @hawk,
Thanks for your feedback.
I do understand and there are tweaks made all the time to improve visibility in different areas.
If you really want it to be clear plan colours currently our mobile theme is very basic.
You can preview the mobile theme by clicking here or go back to normal by clicking here.
I don’t think the snow helps currently 
Feel free to share more thoughts on this.
Cheers,
Dean.
PMSL put the shades away till the SUN comes out
I’ve just put the brightness up on the normal text slightly - hopefully that helps a bit.
Hi Dean,
The mobile theme appears a little dull (In comparison), I do like the GTO in the back ground!!
I do notice the blue on the black / dark background is better for my eyes
You may be right about the snow 
Yes the brightness does help
Thanks Hawk
@hawk - if you could change anything - what would it be?
(I’m not saying I’ll do it - but I’m open to suggestions from anyone)
The snow has been cleaned away too.
Thats loads clearer,
just doing you an image of a suggestion
I like easier picture upload, nice one
I hope you can see the suggestions ? (I just read this, sorry Dean its not supposed to be sarcasm or anything I was just asking)
We have tried the sub-categories line by line - but you end up with a very long page because of just how many categories we have here.
Here is a quick screenshot of how that looks for just one section:
We don’t want to over-load users with too many numbers so it’s best we don’t include the last access date.
The 3/4 messages on the right in the top-level category are most recently active / popular items from all sub-categories.
Our experience is that users tend to use the Latest page coupled with New & Unread to see the latest goings on.
Categories tends to be used for finding something older coupled with search. If you visit a category and then use search you can limit the search to that category:
Use the menu system and sub menu at the top. Its much easier, I have never looked at that menu ever 
@DeanMarkTaylor can we have that as an option on the site somewhere, for anyone who rather have that clean option?
Neil.
@NAS don’t make things complicated dude … we need to find what is best for the majority and go with it.
EDIT: As it is works really well with less categories - that should be our first port of call.
I’ve just pumped the white in the latest list too…

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the explanation / example I understand it now
Defo better with no snow and the brightness changed
I will preserver with the new look site
Thanks for your time and considerations
Feedback is always welcome @hawk.
Just open a topic to discuss anything club or website related.
I think from talking to Neil at dean at the Christmas do a lot of the sub categories are going to be simplified in the future anyway due to the overly complex nature of the old site, although this requires manual moving of all of the old posts to new categories so will take time, and will definately clear things up.
Also I find cleaning my glasses helps loads when feeling blurry eyed
I have just ordered a year’s supply of:

Last suggestion for tonight, is it possible to open links in a new tab? (This would save using the back arrow, and would allow reading of both sites at the same time, this is useful when following members advise)
Thanks All
