Just an observation, but I don't see that this new navigation tool does anything differently than the previous non-descript blue banner did... aside from take up a bit better than one-third of the screen, that is.

Edited to add: on a different computer, the banner area is taking up 60-70% of the website portion of screen, such that I can't even see the top thread without scrolling. And just to be clear, I am not referring to the blue backgrounded area with the logo "The world's most popular . . ." but to the area immediately below that which includes the "Jump to Forums" link.

FWIW, and I doubt it's much, I see little benefit to the change and accordingly give it a healthy

Or, perhaps, make it an option -- I know that vBulletin supports multiple skins, so that each user can select a skin of his/her choosing in user options...

Those smileys drove me nuts!

What's with the 15 year old Olive Oil and Popeye line drawings anyway? Looks ridiculous and ameteurish, apart from taking up a ton of un-necessary depth in the viewing window.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but can anyone explain why the too small for my aging eyes FT fonts are fixed?
I understand the part about ads but I subscribe to FT premium and don't see the ads anyway. My fix is Avant Browser which has a built in page magnifier. When I view other sites it and forget to go back to 100% magnification it messed up the other sites.
