We’re excited to announce some significant improvements to our website. These are designed to make visiting and using the website a more enjoyable and productive experience.


Firstly, we’re increasing the size of the fonts we use, so the text is easier to read. Secondly, we’re introducing a new structure for the content on the pages, using better headings, so you can find what you’re looking for quickly.


Everyone is welcome in our club, and we think these changes will make our website a much more welcoming place too!

Now you have totally lost me. What on earth is a Cache? Should I get one? Where from? Are they expensive?

Often referred to as your History ET. Your browser uses it to speed things up. Think how slow CT would be without it😂

From Wikipedia 

In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere. A cache hit occurs when the requested data can be found in a cache, while a cache miss occurs when it cannot. Cache hits are served by reading data from the cache, which is faster than recomputing a result or reading from a slower data store; thus, the more requests that can be served from the cache, the faster the system performs

Thanks Steve. A 12 year old grandson had already explained to me that if one has been looking at “adult” websites one can delete it so that mummy and form tutor don’t know.  i didn’t know the word Cache  - he used the term Porn.

Today I have noted the difference, larger print posts to view but tiny when trying to post a reply. Have reverted to opening out the reply box to see what I am typing. How very strange, but that is nothing unusual with CT! Is it just me or have they also changed the font format?undecided

Anyone noticed that the page numbers on threads that run into thousands, like in General Chat,  don't have any spacing between them?

Yes, you are correct. I see that the reply text has now shrunk for me now, it was ok before.

You quake in your browsing boots when the Club lets us know that they have improved the website🤣

I am resisting clearing my cache/history at the moment.🤭

Hi Tinwheeler,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we're working on getting this fixed ASAP.

I admit my iPad is getting on, like it’s owner, but it’s not just the small font replies, the bigger font is now making the users name run into their story. Some of the time I now only get half a page loaded. Agree with other statements on here, not sure who this is helping, clearly not the majority. If it’s aint broke don’t fix it comes to mind. There are plenty of other things on here that could do with sorting. I suspect the person changing the font is using an up to the minute device, and it works fine but unfortunately most of your members may not be.  So please don’t bother fixing it, just put it back to how it was, please. (Hope I’ve spelt  most of this right but I can hardly see what I’ve written.)

Is it just me or has the Latest Activity page been affected by the increase in font size?

There seems to be less to see with only the latest 4 or 5 appearing. Sometimes I use LA to get access to a discussion or review, particularly when system blighted by server errors.

BTW - Could the new font size be considered SHOUTING?

 Quite agree that the headings are too Black and too Big. 

 

Yesterday the font when posting was too small, whereas today the font is microscopic.
