    I put an extension in my chrome browser called 'Ad block' so fortunately I don't see the Ads, well worth getting if the ads are preventing your enjoyment guys image 

    Google it, takes 2 minutes to install. I still don't like the new format btw, it focuses on modern age doo daa's.. iphones ipads etc. because 15-20 year olds are swarming over the gardening forums image

  • As many know, I'm fairly computer savvy and have helped others many times in that regard, but oh dear, this is definitely not a user friendly change.

    Logging out - this is making my eyes hurt.

    Gutted. I loved the forum as it was.

    Please Please Please - change it back.

    I hate this new forum, I want the old one back, please. I've given all the reasons for hating it on other threads. It seems most of the threads today are about the awfulness of this format.

    I've loved this forum, checking several times a day to see what's going on. I hate the new format - I'm dizzy from all the jumping adverts (I'm guessing this is the real reason for the 'new format' - more adverts) and the scrolling and searching. I'm losing the will

    I wish they'd put up a voting button so we could vote for a return of the old format for the forum.

  • Sorry guys, this is AWFUL!image

  • Oh dear image what a terrible shame please please lets have the old format back. I pop in lots of times just to see what's going on just because I don't do lots of posts doesn't mean I'm not in the shed listening and watching with a cuppa . Who's idea was this change . Ok don't own up just flip the switch back to before . What's the old saying if it ain't broke why fix it image

    What have they done to this site!! It's really put me off using it. Such a disappointment. Come on GW, sort it out!

    I'm all for taking advantage of something that costs me nothing but is it just me that thinks you can clearly see more of the adverts that what you are trying to post?

    See original post

     i have adblocker on my laptop/chromebook so i don't see any ads so i have posts down left side and blank white screen on the right.

    This format is just too much in your face, for some reason it is making my eyes ache .I can only presume it's the white on cream , far too glarey 

    The colour scheme was far more relaxing to my eyes,

    I also seam to spend more time scrolling ,I've thrown the towel in this morning.!  

    But it could be me in that  ::  I don't do change very good.specially with unnecessary changeimage
