is there anyway to make it wider? it looks great on my mobile but a bit silly on my 21:9 36" PC monitor, as it just sits in a thin strip in the middle :shock:
on the last forum i ran we could change the width

Is that using the web page on Windows Simon, it looks fine on my monitor in Windows. Try and drag the edge of the page outwards to widen.

One thing I have noticed on the updated site, is that when I click on an external link it doesn't open another page like it used to, for me anyway.

It just goes straight to the link, then you have to go back from the link to carry on here.

yes it will zoom of course, but just wondering if the size can widen without all the huge letters lol was not a problem on old site, well I cant remember it being so thin?

anyway no worries, means I can do the Honda and Yam forums at once lol, but Yam is Smaller than Honda ;)

do you have other "Themes" we can pick? Honda forum let me pick a Wider theme :D

anyways don't waste time if not Mike :D

Looking much slicker, great job :D
Returned back from a long weekend away and thought I landed on the wrong site initially.
Same as Duncan, I also do miss having the Active Topics link on the home page, but it's not a major issue.

it does look better on a mobile than before. I'll definitely use it on the iPad, although Apple has done their best to break mine with the iOS 11 update.

If you can't afford an iPad, 10" Android tablets cost next to nothing. Just make sure it has a recent version of Android - at least V6 (Marshmallow).

Apple all day long for me. Wouldn’t wipe my bottom with a windows PC. Although that’s probably wise anyway!

I'm on iphone and use Chrome browser and no need to login each visit, looks great though as others have mentioned, no real need for tapatalk.

I'm very happy with the migration, we don't seem to have upset many people and also the forum is now way..... way.... way quicker !
