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!

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?

I don't use Latest Activity that much but I am pretty sure its the same as the story and review sections, five items at a time, that has not changed since the "upgrade" of font sizes as far as I can tell.

Oh there have been times David when LA carried a lot more than 5 items. I've trolled through over a dozen quite a few times, many of them reviews, but since the font change it's mostly 5 or 6.

When there's a server error affecting Discussions I've looked for a LA post that was a discussion one rather than a review to find a way in.

5 or 6? Lucky you 😂😂. I only see 3 on my Pad in landscape and 4 in portrait mode.

Since we have been away for the last two weeks, this is the first time I have used my iMac since the changes were introduced. Initially, the font was miniscule and almost impossible to read - despite a 27" screen. Fortunately, by using the Cmnd+ keyboard shortcut, I can increase the font size to a sensible level but the type is 'wishy/washy' and nowhere as clear as it previously was.

If this change was meant to be an improvement, then someone has got things seriously wrong.

Agreed, Richard. I do wish they wouldn’t fiddle with things that aren’t broken.

Whoever said the locations have vanished from our avatar details is absolutely right. Cornwall still shows in my profile but doesn’t appear here.

TW, having seen you comment about locations I have only just realised they have disappeared! The location is quite handy when people ask questions about routes. 

On a slightly different tack I try and read through the reviews everyday if I can. For a while now if you read an individual review and use the back button it has taken you back to where you were. Last night it started to take me back to the Latest Activity page as it used to. Don't understand how the website is so inconsistent?

To be honest I’ve been contributing on here and reading posts for years, from the beginning in fact, but this latest change is possibly the final straw. Reply font too small, users names running into their posts as reading font so big, it seems to now take ages to load and I now often only get half a page, all since these changes to, ‘make significant improvements and make using the website more enjoyable’, sorry Rowena we know it’s not your fault. So now after all these years I’m seriously thinking of just giving up on it, it’s just too much hassle and definitely Not enjoyable any more.

Debsc, you are letting it stress you. Switch off for a fortnight, leave it alone, have a holiday. It really isn’t important. Be happy again.

Oh - I hadn't spotted that Tinny - until you mentioned it. Why on earth has that been done? It was actually quite useful to know where people where from - added relevance to some of their comments - and also provided the opportunity for a bit of banter!  I got to know where people were scattered - Rufs in Hampshire - heddlo here in E. Yorks - mickysf on t'other side of the Humber etc etc. and it all helped to build up a mental picture of everyone. That will disappear now.  What a shame.

Oh Euror if this stressed me I’d be a really happy bunny. Sadly many things going on in family that do stress us. This is a very, very minute irritation compared to other much more important things in our life at present. No chance of a holiday at the moment. However, someone in IT does need to be told this is not working.
