HAPPY NEW YEAR
Head is thumping, house looks like aftermath of an explosion at Toys R Us, fridge is full of leftovers and strange foods Mr Batty buys at this time of year, glass recycling bin is overflowing by the back door, laundry basket is overflowing onto the landing, Mother in Law (the Ware witch project) is expected on her Vauxhall broomstick for lunch. I've already broken one resolution by having 3 slices of thickly buttered toast in bed (my 6 year-old made it as a treat so I really couldn't say no...) This year has started off just like last year!!! Do you reckon Admin would allow a thread on which to post our resolutions? That way we'll be more likely to keep them as we will be open to public ridicule if we don't!

Happy New Year one and all. Great new look for the home page Admin. Did you stay up especially to launch it at midnight+? Rooster and Dobbin

Everything looks the same to me. Hazy mostly.... I guess I should logout and in again. Oooh, I'm pert with anticipation.

Umm. This is all to subtle for me.... Were the timestamps previously italicized?

I am confused too, Herb. The only thing that looks different to me is the DHO front page...

New look is looking good, very slick, yes a quick link from the DHO homepage to most recently active topics at http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/active.asp would be handy

As someone who formerly lived in Hertford and looks occasionally, I agree.

Resolutions? A bit late now love, check the date of your post. Posting the request in December this year might be a better idea. [:)]

Perhaps a good example of why a list of top threads on the home page would be handy. I saw first hand the car vandalism in Bengeo today and looked under policing (...law and order issues) to see if it was posted. I then put it as a thread and it was rightly pointed out that it was elsewhere and locked (I'd have hated to think of someone about to set off to work on Tues and not known if I'd assumed it was on). The top thread bit would probably have saved my/ Admin time...Just a thought.

I thought the 1st was the day for making resolutions? P.S. Please don't call me "love". You don't know me and I find it offensive in this particular context.

This is being seriously considered. In the meantime you can always use the [url="http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/active.asp"]Active Topics[/url] link at the top of the page, which lists all new posts since your last visit. http://www.hertford.net/yoursay/active.asp"]Active

I can't seem to link back to the home page from a selected topic by clicking on the Home link in the new format. It just says that the page is unavailable. I assume that now it is removed, you need to reassign the link to the new home page???

Thanks for highlighting this. The problem has now been fixed. [:)]

Your welcome. [:)] On the whole I like the new look (particularly the scrolling news items - very BBC), although offer a warning against it getting over-crowded in the future, making it difficult to find what you're looking for unless you know the site. But then I don't want to teach my Admin how to SQL or whatever.

I think I have missed something. I cannot see any difference and certainly cannot see a running news thingy...?? Do I need to do anything??

I initially thought this topic was about New Look the shop. Della, on the main page is there not a scrolling text about 3 cms down from the top of the page?

Its on the top of the home page, that's where the new look is, not on the forums, unless I have missed something?

I'm having real problems with the new format. It's taking me five minutes to move past the first page and the rest of my computer siezes up until I get through. The only thing that moves is that ticker tape. This has only happened since the new front page and ticker tape was introduced. I have fast access through work. [V] Any ideas or anyone else got the same problem?

If there are certain pages you use more than others you should bookmark them so you do not have to navigate past the front page.

It's the thingy (techy term) that allows you only to read the bits you have not previously read that I like. And I found the quiz, but did not feel the need to publish my appaling result - OK it was a sad 5 - must look at the Town in closer detail

Thank's for that Ewoowar. Just added the forum pages to my favourites and went straight there. Sad that I am destined never to see the front page again though. Thanks again
