Why is the text now in purple and therefore much harder to read? On my iPad it's almost impossible to read now.

Hi Sheffmax,

We've installed the Tapatalk Plug-In again, so please give it a whirl and let us know if you get any problems.

Thanks
Russ

I have no objection to any changes, I'm just a user of a free forum for which I'm very grateful. However, I was using Tapatalk on my Android device but it cannot find the new site. Am I just being useless?

I found two faults:

1) Advanced search with motor position:
'Centre / Crank drive' returns no result.

2) set price range: 0- £2000 with slider
The search engine shows bikes without prices at the top of the list.
This penalises bikes with prices.

Hi Trex,

We've got an enhanced search system which will give higher quality results and faster searching. This has been installed and will be turned on shortly. {edit sorry, I misread your post I thought you were talking about general search - will take a look).

I'll be hiding bikes without prices as well.

Are you saying that the readability of message text will be at least as good, and preferably better than the previous version?

The only thing that I don't like is the photo of the sky in the background. It is too bright and distracting.
Also, I cannot pull the thumbnails of the Viking panniers up

So Far I seem to agree , The new site is unfriendly and OVER commercialised , Preferred the old site , What isn't broke don't fix
Will reserve my final judgement for a month , while these little buglets are being fixed . Regards emma

Unless I've can't see where it is the lack of the 'What's New' button is sorely missed.

Also my likes or thanks count seems to have gone (didn't have many but they meant a lot to me!).

Hi Wander,

I too use the 'Whats New' button a lot!
There are now 2 extra levels. From homepage you have to click on Forum on top bar> Then below that is the 2nd bar, hover over 'Forums' then click on 'New Posts'..

Rather annoying as before you could click this from any page on the site. Im sure Russ will add it to the top menu as a quick link.

Regards
Martin

Congrats Russ and Helen, must be quite a time consuming and costly exercise.

I'm always in favour of progress.

I noticed that there is now a Limited Company set up.

If you could create a Paypal donation button I would like to make a small contribution to the upgrade.
