Mmmneah (shrug)

 

Good stuff...love the whole new look overall!

I try not to get too worked up over colors and layout (as you might know, I save that energy for getting worked up over other things...) - but I like it.

I also noticed that there is now a link back to the forums from the PM page. Nice.

Also cool that you can visit the old homepage from the new one. For now.

That's a great feature.

I like the new homepage, it looks pretty and so far seems much easier to use.

awesome new page! finally something easier to navigate. wtg guys!

Actually, yes, that is a distinct improvement. It regains much of the focus that the old home page had lost, imho. Well done.

it is easier for sure...i was like wow what a difference...

is it my browser/hours of staring at the computer screen, or is the main page off centered slightly favored to the left?

love it - awesome job guys

It's Good. New is often better. Nice work

D

My eyes! Oh, my eyes!!! PLEASE STOP!!!

Haha. Just kidding. Looks great. I'm glad to see the menu is on the left, not that I mind it being on the right in the forums.

Definitely prefer how it looks to the old one. Think the old one may have had more info on it tho. Didn't find 'Recent discussions' on the new one but I haven't looked properly yet.

One thing I haven't figured out yet is why it's possible to choose "Bootsnall Travel Forums" and "Travel Forums. " Either choice seems to yield exactly the same results, or am I missing something?

I like it very much. More practical layout.

Excellent Question! It seems a little redundant.

Also...on the home page, you call these "message boards," yet everywhere else they are called Travel Forums or Travel Community. Message Boards seems a little cold to me, but, either way, consistency would be good.

I like the new look! Very nice, easy to read, sensible layout.

I like it a lot.

Far too corporate now.

Reminds me too much of the BBC.

Fantastic! Definitely an improvement. A lot easier on the eyes, to be sure.

Congrats, guys!

Bump.

Just to say first of all the new look is much better. However 1 thing I think is missing, on the old page was a link called 'first time visitor', it linked to a very helpful page that was an introductory guide to using the BnA website.

I think you should have this link on the new page, also I think it would be good to have it in a prominent place.

It always takes time to get used to change, but this is an improvement on the old "new" one. It is good and will be easy to navigate.

Could I ask just one small thing? The map of the world - could we please have all the pretty colours back? You know, the continents in orange and red and blue and green et al? They looked really cool.
