Just looked at it on my phone as well - responsive will serve us well, but the ad banner kinda messes with it.


Yeah, agree with this, making me feel blind already.

Looks a lot slicker though. Reminds of the when the Arsenal.com site changed.

Gg spot on. I like it and is very much needed but of course, as mentioned needs a little refinement

Needs more red. It looks like a shade of purple pink to me. Unless ive been colour blind all these years!

Also, had to switch back because its not resizing when I swipe about, cant get to new posts. Otherwise, like!

Good, good. Ive just taken off the previous matchday chats and prediction league from the index page. I imagine the boards looked quite big on the phone for those.

It's a lot cleaner but I think some tweaks could make it work just great:
1) The "metro red" looks more like fuchsia than red, just use the old red shade and it would be just fine.
2) Totally agree about the "too white" comments, the forum needs some contrast, I suggest using a gray shade for the outer frame.
3) Sorry about being direct, but the banner is pretty ugly, I would happily contribute if you will provide be with the proper dimensions.

We need a logo with the Goonersworld name on the left (which is already there, but if you can come up with a better one, good) and some thing with transparent background on the right (currently where there are the mugshots of the five players).

What I'm saying is that a fixed sized large width banner does not play well with responsive design, so I'm going with two images on the two sides.

What size for each picture? Is the current color a must?

Change is good. This is not just a change for the sake of it.
The old theme is archaic and needed updating.
It may take some getting used to but I like it. Only thing I'm not too keen on is the players look like they've been crudely stuck on the banner. Could so with some finessing.
That apart, good job guys.

Only just tried it. The white is too much, I might need to get my sunglasses until I've changed it back :hiding:

Please add a non-white color to the heading over each user post Trina, I'm finding it pretty hard on my eyes to try and work out where each post begins/ends

also a more distinct border around posts would help as well

Other than that good work
