Would be interested to hear if the traffic to the site has increased as a result. I find myself visiting a lot more often and commenting a lot more than I used to do with the old design. Big thumbs up from me.

Me he reido un monton al ver tu nombre de usuario. Muy ingenioso! La verdad es que la curiosidad me mata. Sabes lo que quiere decir ‘peo’ en America Latina? Que gracioso! Asi que te tengo preguntar, lo hiciste a proposito? Muy ingenioso! Me hiciste reir! 🙂

I’ve left this a few days to see if my initial impressions changed after some use but alas…I still hate it! 🙁

I generally view the site on a tablet (galaxy note 10) – on the old version I could see pretty much the whole main page on a single screen and zoom to my hearts content. The layout was pretty logical and easy to use and the “scrolling” latest news section at the top gave a good overview of any updates without taking up too much space.

Now one headline takes up nearly the whole screen. I have to scroll endlessly to find anything and I cant zoom in or out. The text is stupidly big.

The layout seems clumsy and not particularly logical (lots of repetition).

Road.cc replaced bike*****r and cycling***S as my site of choice about 8 months ago but since the change I seem to find myself back there much more.

Sorry to be a luddite as I’m sure tons of work has gone into this but I really don’t think the change is for the better.

Apologies for reviving a dead thread but a couple of months on and after a few tweaks I thought it’d be worth saying that the site as a whole is much much better now both on tablet and laptop.

Top job! 🙂

Just had another play on my tablet, the full width mode vastly improves things and makes the site much easier to use and, size wise, much more like the old version which I like.

Now that it works and is easier to use I do like the new style, its clean, simple and modern, I like the minimal colours and while I liked the old style it probably was looking dated. All in all, probably a change for the best. Can’t wait to see how it looks for the fantasy game next year.

do you mean the title font, or the thread font? the thread font is different from the comment font. anyway, fonts are a very personal thing and both are plenty legible. change it and i’ll someone else piping up tomorrow saying they liked it better the way it was 😉

Excellent, many thanks.
