But then maybe everyone was using psychic powers to convey their ideas :) As I say I think I'm the only one who likes the new one (funny how fashionable it is to criticise things official -- remember what people thought of the name "PlayStation" at first? Now it's cool) 1: Black backgounds are much preferable to me on VDUs. I don't how anyone can prefer reading a full-bright white screen. 2: Also the members' listing now has full Yaroze colouring -- black bg, lt.blue text as in the OPEN button. I felt I had to add the POWER button green myself.. No-one else see it that way? 3: No-more huge space wasting frames -- we don't all have 17" monitors with 8Mb video cards to get a nice 1024x hi-res display. 4: Loads MUCH quicker and extremely easy to navigate. The simplistic Family tree structure keeps everything immediately understandable No arsing around with loads of fancy buttons and icons which you hardy use anyway 5: Shot-gun twelve tins of Stella Artois. 6: Repeat 5 as necessary. 7: Oh, wrong list... As for the ideas of a monthly voting system for a Top 10. Nice idea in theory but I really think there'd be only be 5~10 people who'd regularly bother voting after the initial buzz wore off (just like with updating your homepage). Anyone disagree? > Just pointing out some small-scale irony, as Im in the mood for irony Then I have a couple of shirts that need doing. Oh...
