New site

[newlands]

Hi got my invite for new site and my bullguard security has blocked me getting on

[pergola1]

Keep hearing about this new site. Is it for the favoured few?

[newlands in reply to pergola1]

No pergola dont think so ,but wondering why my security stopped me getting on the site

[huggs in reply to newlands]

I don't know enough about these things, but I think I would probably contact BLF in the first instance and see what they say about it. You might then have to contact your security directly and ask them why it is being blocked. I am sure it is only a glitch and will be sorted out soon. Take care. hugs xxx

Hi Pergola1, I have been keeping a watch (as much as it is possible) on this new site, and I am getting the impression that they are gradually offering it on trial to several people at a time. It seems to be on going, as there are different people getting it every day or so. Maybe they have to give them some feedback, and once they have that then some more people will be given it to trial. It is intriguing though. We'll find out soon enough. The responses I have read to this new site layout has been a bit vague, such as easier to read and brighter. That doesn't tell us a whole lot. Hope you are keeping as well as you can be. hugs xxx

The posts are in a central position and the categories list that was on the right is no longer there.

[huggs in reply to pergola1]

Hi again Pergola. Puff has kindly provided a look into the new layout by using one of my links to yours. If you scroll down the page you will find it. It certainly looks interesting. I hope he doesn't get into trouble for doing this. Now's your change Pergola, in case they delete it. hugs xx

[Puffthemagicdragon]

Quite right Huggs. There is a feedback bit and also there may still be glitches to iron out being in the Beta stage.

Here's a link to a grab I took of your post Huggs.

Click the image to make it bigger. It's not perfect but it gives you an idea of how it looks.

Puff, you are an angel!! xx That was very kind and thoughtful of you to do this, and allow us a glimpse of the new layout. I was a bit worried when you said the categories which are now on the right of screen are no longer there. However, I was quickly relieved when I saw they have been moved to the top of the screen, and more categories have been added. Did my eyes deceive me, or did I really see a semi naked woman with her breasts exposed at one part of it? !!! From what you have allowed me to see (apart from woman), it looks very good and interesting with lots of pictures of nature and other things. I love the sea with a passion so hope I can put these to good use. Mind you somebody will probably have to tell me how to do it. Thanks again Puff, and I hope Mrs Puff is getting better. I also hope you don't get into trouble for doing this! You might get 500 lines to do, such as " I must not beat BLF in showing their new site layout!" Ha ha. Hugs xxx

Glad to help.

The pictures that you see under " Images You'll Also Enjoy " are ones that other people have uploaded to Tinypic and are just to do with that website and not BLF. The image I did is just the BLF one.

I'm sure BLF wont mind me promoting and praising their new layout !

[huggs in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

I'm sure they will be delighted Puff! They'll be giving you promotion soon. Its a pity that the images I saw are not available to us all. I have just seen Offcuts reply and that they might be available on Chrome Browser. I do have that, but never used it. So that is something else to try out! Thanks again. hugs xxx

[Offcut]

It will not work on IE9 best browser is google chrome it seems

[newlands in reply to Offcut]

Hi offcut i am with chrome but my emails come via aol maybe that's the problem why i couldn't click on to the site ,but still puzzled why it was asking me too open a new account iv'e only just got used too this new site .

will see what transpires

[Offcut in reply to newlands]

It did say that you may have to re log in? Have you tried to right click on the link and then copy and paste in the address bar?

[newlands in reply to Offcut]

Oh offcut sorry i am not that savvy with computers when grandson comes he will show me thanks

[huggs in reply to Offcut]

Thanks Offcut. I have google chrome, but never used it before, but I don't suppose its any different from internet explorer. As you will have gathered I haven't used it before. I'll try it out this afternoon, as I have a funeral to go to this morning. Thanks again.

I have just noticed your last post about logging in, but as I haven't been sent an email yet, I don't suppose it matters just now.

[Offcut in reply to huggs]

I have found chrome loads quicker

[Suzy6 in reply to Offcut]

Hi Offcut, I use Google Chrome loads much quicker. Help me please. At home I'm on new site. In work, trying to ignore burglar alarm malfunction blasting in my ear, came on here I'm still on old site. Any ideas. Is it a different server?

[Offcut in reply to Suzy6]

I would say that the beta link you clicked only works from home and the old one at work as it has probably taken your home mac address/IP as a link plus you may have cookies allowing them to see it is you to direct you to the Beta when at home.

Sorry if I have complicated things. But each PC connection has a unique address so the millions of us can reach each other. A bit like your own telephone number.

[Suzy6 in reply to Offcut]

Thanks Offcut. Hope home one is still on new site. xx

[huggs in reply to Offcut]

Thanks Offcut. That can only be good! hugs xx

Does anyone know why they are changing it again? cx

[Hidden]

Yes, it's not just BLF, it's the whole of HU. I got it yesterday, but today I'm back to the old one again.

[Puffthemagicdragon]

I use Firefox and got no problems going over to the new layout.

I think I should have bookmarked it and like an idiot, I didn't!!
