    And I thought the old color scheme was purile :doh: Seeing as how I'm using FireFox these days, at first I though even the formating was completely f***ed. Had to fire up IE just to see it :doh: So no warnings, no change management, just out the blue change the site and hope for the best :doh: Not happy Jan !

        Just Refresh in Firefox - works fine then.

          Well obviously I'm not impressed that it wasn't tested against a range of browsers. As far as the colors go, nothing much harmonises with orange. I guess I would suggest that they just stick with the previous color scheme ~ The new one seems very lurid and heavy. I would lose the green altogether, I would lose the overkill in terms of all the various header text / background color combinations and standardise on the red/brown text on the light orange background. Lose the grey altogether. I would use the same lighter orange on the LHS to improve contrast and reduce the 'heaviness' of the page. Just my 0.02's

              agreed, but i definitely think the new layout was worth the change. I like it - clean and well defined - and for the first time in god knows how long, i can easily find the "My Settings" link. Not a big fan of the green - but, the good with the bad. Well done CP crew! You have my applause - and as always, my undying loyalty :) nicko

                  They tend to reuse advertising storylines around the world. I wonder what she's called in other countries ?
