Have not been here for a couple of weeks cos I was busy with many other things. The new layout is not very good or so it seems to me but wondering how you are finding it. It is very confusing to someone who is not very computer or internet savvy and that will put a lot of people off coming here I think. What do you think of it and are you happy or unhappy with the new layout? I am not sure that this one will even grow on me .... I don't think that I spend enough time on the internet or in this forum to grow accustomed to it. how long did it take you to get used to this new layout?

Actually, I like the new layout. It took a little while to get used to and I am still not used to my profile page yet. So other than the profile page, I like it. Before the home page and the discussions page was basically the same and now they are different which is better, I think and I like being able to comment on news articles and blogs.

It might grow on me in time .... problem is that I cannot be here every day and there are times when we are not here for days or weeks, if we are both really busy with work. We shall see but thank you for the input and I will look at it with new eyes now.

I am a bit like you oldboy in that I do not spend enough time here these days and that means that it is taking some getting used it. I suppose if I was to spend a lot of time here, then maybe I could adapt a little better or quicker but time shall tell. I have checked out some of the posts that have been made about the new layout and it appears that there has been a mix reaction to it. One thing that does concern me is that I read a person cannot have their blog accepted unless they have had the blog for 4 months. That does seem a little unfair as many people do not have blogs or are fairly new at them, so it appears theirs will not be accepted by myLot. I am not sure if or how the people who have blogs are paid by myLot, but it would seem that they will be some sort of compensation for it. That will bear thinking through before I can come up with some reasonable sort of comment on it. I think that I am fairly computer literare and also internet savvy but changes like the ones they have done here always take time. I agree with someone else who commented that it would have been better to have a spell check. It would certainly make it much easier as many people cannot spell a work, and that is the members whose first language is English. Imagine how much harder it is for those who do not have a great grasp of English. Next time around, I would like to think they will add at least a spell check here and it could be an optional one that people use int he same way as the "Edit" function. It is up to the individual member and this means that some will use, but others will choose not to do so.

This is an old discussion which I started when myLot put up a new layout. At the time I found it hard to understand because it had the new categories etc and it was totally confusing. That is both to me and many other members as well. Thanks for taking the time to respond and I do appreciate it.

This is strange. What new layout? I didn't notice any changes in the past months o.o I find it really weird that I didn't notice any change after reading your post. When did this happen? Thanks for the comment on my discussion!
