Its a bit posh in here

[British Red]

Do I have to take my boots off?

Not too flash.

I miss the photos of Gary and the Loch which were centrally positioned.

I have grown accustomed to the old site. By definition aren't bushcrafters slow to change? After all we still use flint and steel (or at least like to make out that we do quite often )

It seems slower but I guess its because I am half a world away

 

[Jedadiah]

I think it will grow on me. I don't know about you, but at the moment it seem's a little sterile with all the white around, a bit corporate with the adverts permanantly down the right hand side. By the way, all the smilies seem to be hidden behind them and i have no way of scrolling sideways, is it just me?

The old site just seemed warmer, comfortable, like an old Norgie!

I'm sure I'll get used to it, i'm not against change, it's evolving and that must be a good thing! I'll be interested to see what everyone else thinks.

 

[Woodcutter]

I liked the gallery photos going across the top, also can't find the link to view subscribed threads? Looks good though, sure I'll get used to it.

 

[shaunmcdonald]

It is very different but i do think once we get used to it it will prove much better as there seems to be alot of work gone in to offering everthing needed under one umberella

The shop seems to be very well done and the blogg idea is brilliant

Just even more time reading thro the BCUK site

 

[Nigel]

The site has gone a bit too commercial with all the advertising, the look and feel with the old site was a lot better.

Also there seems to be a problem with the user gallery, none of the photos are loading.

Where has the user CP gone? my signature has been messed up a little, the bottom bit Swoosh on BB should be size 6 font!

Edit, sorted now.

 

[woodwalker]

Its a lot more packed in than the old site.

Glad to see we have a shop back though. And a spell checker!

Yeah I like it. Still no rep though !

Ooooh, what fun.

A tip from me folks - don't try logging onto http://bushcraft uk.no-ip.org/forum without the gap in "bushcraftuk" or you will probably crash the site as when I did this it seemed to open the same page within the same page within the same page within the same page................ ad in finitum and nearly crashed my computer.

 

[rich59]

Every time I post I get a blank central part of the page until I hit the "refresh button" on the top line of my internet browser.

 

[rich59]

I had several ways of coming to this site before and they all recognised me as rich59. At the moment it seems to only recognise me if I logon to the main web site "bushcraftuk.com" and then go to the forum. If I go direct to the forum it doesn't know me.

Me too and the spell checker is hidden there as well

 

[Eric_Methven]

I've noticed some text gets hidden on the right behind the adverts if there is a photo that is bigger than the window. There's no scroll bar at the bottom so I can scroll right. Also some windows are opening within windows and dragging the left frame menu in with it.

Apart from that, it seems quite nice and I'm sure I'll get used to it.

somthing has to pay for all this free information you enjoy, the better it gets the more expensive it becomes to maintain

 

[AndyW]

I think it feels quite "fresh" although like others have said, the plain white does make it feel a little sterile where as the old colours did make it feel somehow homely and bushcrafty

Getting the same kind of problems that others are reporting

 

[AndyW]

We're all here using the new site but has anybody else read Tonys Blog entry:

http://bushcraftuk.no-ip.org/component/option,com_myblog/Itemid,123/show,now-it-is-getting-early.html/

Just seems odd that at 4am this morning he said it isn't now going live until Saturday. Also, after I've left the home page all the links seem to refer to "bushcraftuk.no-ip..."

Just wondering...

Same sentiments - old background colour made reading easier on the eye.
