Not a bad first post but realistically that is not going to happen. Perhaps if you could give some constructive criticism with ideas for improvements rather than negativity then you will be contributing to any improvements that are going to be made.

Registering at imutual is now quicker and easier. It is no longer necessary to choose a username (until you want to post on the forum); you just need to enter your email address and choose a password. This can be either using the simple form on the home page, or via the sign-up / login pop-up window ("lightbox") which appears when clicking on various links throughout the site (e.g. the join button in the top right corner)


.... and it's a good job you checked and edited your post B4 I had chance to highlight the missing 'e' :)

Think I'll reserve comment until I've got used to the new format. Right now I'm at the "I know how I used to do X but how do I do it under the new format?" stage so any comment would just show me up as an change-resistant old fogey. That may well be true but I don't necessarily want to tell the world.

The new design does take a little time to get the know how to navigate around, but I have found it to be much better and think Richard and everyone involved have done a fantastic job. :clap:

When I click on a link from the forums to an external link. I now lose the imutual page, it used to be that a new page opened. It maybe that I have to adjust something in my settings. But it used to happen automatically. I am using Firefox 12, Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint, mint - 1.0

As per roger I am resistant to change, Not particularly keen on the new design. But so far it seems faster, I am happy the logos have gone from the merchants. There is now much more room for information. I especially like the information on who has been suspended, it is very helpful. Colour wise it is a bit muted and could perhaps be brighter. But its ok :thumbup:

If you did it a bit more often. Perhaps your posts would come across as more reader friendly..

I can't find the "Recently Visited Merchants" [or whatever it was called} tab.

Also, the flashy rollovers are driving me MAD! At best they're distracting, and often get in the way of what I want to be looking at. This is definitely a backward step.

Flashy doesn't neccessarily make it better. It really is making it a horrible experience.

Please bring back the click-on tabbed menus. If I want to see something in particular, I would rather click on it.

Hmm, I also just noticed that Auto Spell-check is no longer working in Firefox. :thumbdown:
