What a mess this forum is

[MarillionFan]

Do PMs work in the new forum, or are they totally borked as well?

(joke)

Well we'll soon see when mouth almighty gets his.

Aren't you going to all start swearing properly?

Chef - understood/acknowledged. Trust you and MF will take this to PM.

FWIW, I think NF has done a great job, in a short space of time. There are cosmetic and usability issues that will need ironing out in due course - I only wish I'd had the time, at the time, to provide more feedback, but I'm sure there'll be the opportunity later.

The best, most constructive thing we can do if we have any issues with the form or function of the new CUK is to use the thread in the 'welcome' forum to provide feedback that can be prioritised for action if practicable. That approach will be a hell of a lot more useful to us than unstructured bitching, and may actually lead to a resolution to (some) of the frustrations you might have.

and I'll say again, what I said this morning after I did some early bug testing http://forums.contractoruk.com/welco...ml#post1128360. Well done Nick. Good job!!

Looks good in chrome.

I think the font for the thread titles could do with being a bit bigger and/or bold. I found it a bit hard to read.

I will try it on my phone later.

ClientCo's site which gets an enormous amount of traffic stopped catering for IE6 users with the launch of their new site last month. Stats show IE6 accounted for 3.2% of traffic. Just not worth the effort.

What happens when someone using IE6 tries to use your clientco's site?

unstructured bitching

But "unstructured bitching" is what I do best???!!

They get a message saying the site isn't available in IE6 and they need to upgrade to see it properly. There comes a point when it's just too much trouble to cater for a few visitors. If they're using IE6 at work then they can visit when they get home.

will be interesting to see how long ClientCo remains in business

I can only assume their website is more of a representative web presence formality, than required for reasons of their business

Excellent idea ! I am almost sure this same philosophy can used somewhere. NickFitz, are you listening ?
