Road.cc new look discussion thread
Its new, blue, and not instantly off putting; I might get to like it.
Though comments now take up much more room; my scrolling finger might get tired.
argg.. and if you click on the recent comments it takes you to the thread not the comment itself.
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Interesting pedal but I think they'll need to unclip the pedal price from the shoe price as £592 is off-putting.

yeah you shouldn't be seeing that any more
fixed
Wow, it doesn't happen too often that a new layout doesn't make me say 'what the heck?!', which is great
Evolutionary, but not revolutionary (as there was no need for a revolution).
I very much like the new colours and more spacing between letters in headlines. Personally I'd go for sans-serif fonts exclusively (OK, maybe with an exception for article titles and leads, but content should surely be written in sans-serif IMHO) but it's not a big reason to complain.
The only thing I kind of dislike is the removal of the news carousel on the main page. It was kinda cool - maybe you could consider bringing it back?
Overall, job well done!
I'd say front page is a little too vertical, but overall well done. Too much was going on before.
Forum in mobile just plain doesn't work, only see OPs
Edit: and you have news, top stories, and today's stories as 3/4 first sections on page. I'd say bring reviews up, maybe eliminate/consolidate a news section. Seems redundant now.
what phone are you using? works fine for me is why i ask
Working fine for me on Safari via iOS 7
Site actually looks better on phone than via Firefox on desktop
Same problem here. Samsung Galaxy S3 with native browser, Chrome and Firefox all just displaying original post.
That said, new format for full site seems much more mobile friendly.

Got one of those cheap iphones, can't see the full thread in mobile either.
Which is to say full site on mobile is fine, but m.road.cc forum not so much
First impressions after the what the feck! I like it. The home page does feel a bit claustrophobic / busy though. Probably get used to that. Like the way I can choose the order of comments. Need to have a go with my phone to get a better feel as that is my main platform for looking at the site.
The one thing that I'm glad has seen no change (hopefully until the off season) is the fantasy game, with only a couple of races left. Its maybe better to keep it as is
i'm off to bed though. it looks like it might not fall over, i guess we'll see...
oh there'll be all sorts of things need attention, probably. keep 'em coming
The login one click at the top of the page was perfect, now you have to click one more page to login - admittedly not the end of the world but I don't see why it has been changed (unless it was a inadvertent change)
Also, i can't see any news articles on the home page in either Firefox or Chrome.
I haven't had a scan around the whole site yet, but the forum needs a little adjusting, its made it very compact, with ad's and stories and everything else over there >>>> on the right, squeezing all this to the left.
Colour's don't bother me, it could be pink and green for all I care.
As long as it works, that's what matters and can be improved upon.
At least the smiley's still work
