I like the new Hazzardnet. It's easier to read now. 😀

Excellent job Meadowmufn! 😀 👏

Thanks. It was not easy. About half a dozen times the upgrade broke and I had to run database updates manually. If I was not a technologically adept person, I would have torn all my hair out.

But, HazzardNet is now ✨Modernized✨ and living in the 21st century with the rest of us. 😊 And I am not bald. 🤣

I'll hold my hands up - I'm not great with change. I've lived with the new layout for 48 hours now, and it's still not gelling with me. I completely understand the need for the upgrade and appreciate the work put in by Meadowmufn, but the site feels like it's lost its identity.

The default scheme on my laptop is a really bright background (white or almost white) with gray text which I find hard to read. I switched to the HazzardNet theme which allowed me to select Dark Mode, but that loses the HazzardNet header. On my phone, dark seems to be the only option, and again the header is missing.

Going to Forums now shows a load a tiles which take longer to scroll down and aren't as clear as the old list format..

Finally for now, I don't like the menus being all in capitals. Capital letters on the internet always feel like shouting.

I remember when the site moved from vBulletin to the last layout and it took some tweaking. Hopefully, it'll be possible to put some of the blue and orange back into the site without too much work.
