NAS Forum - Brand update and maintenance.

Brand update and maintenance, 26 September - more details

..."more Details" links to information saying:

Brand and site maintenance - 26 September 2018
Owing to planned maintenance, this site will be unavailable overnight on 26 September, including the early hours of 27 September. We are doing two pieces of work:

Refreshing the design to reflect the National Autistic Society's new brand.
Updating the software to a new version. The main benefit to this should be improvements to the listing of messages in threads, and the flagging of new messages. We want to implement this in order to help with problems that users have reported

...The words "new brand" link to a (small) Page, here:
www.autism.org.uk/.../2018-09-13-changing.aspx

... いま, From myself: I begin this Thread because that is one of the things which I myself used to be most useful for, upon this Forum... But Now things are different and so I Post less (!). Also, However, not everyone notices the Main NAS message, and, also, WebPM says that "As ever, your feedback after the update is welcome." upon the following Thread:

community.autism.org.uk/.../82297

...Lastly from me, this next Link is actually the latest Thread for Posting "Strange" Things... but not many people remembered it...

community.autism.org.uk/.../

...That Thread contains many Links to other Threads which are for specific problems (Older Errors, Notifications, Ideas, Spam, Copybots, etc.).

In closing: All in all, Thanks NAS - especially Mr.WebPM. And Good Luck to all.

    Greetings, anyone. Here I am for a bit, now. Yes I made a mistake about the DAY, sorry. It is over with, now. However, a couple of things...

    As Trogluddite points out, there are a lot of pages still with old Logos and Links... this page which I quote is now one of them(!). I do not dare Edit my OP. Also the SignIn page is old and I too had to weave through a few Bookmarks in order to get to here. Now the NAS Site is more difficult to navigate than before...!

    With regards to the colours, Blue and Violet are my own favourites - but Violet does not contrast well versus Black, y'know... e.g. As I type this there is "1 new reply", but the writing is violet upon a black banner. NAS - what were you thinking, there??

  • And so many words are almost unseen as violet on black doesn’t show through...

    Look at the black line at the bottom centre !

    See anything?

    A new reply! But not really visible!

  • Greets, Sir. This is what I mentioned above, in support of Trogluddite - Thanks for the pictures of it, certainly...

    ...The Community-homepage picture is still the same, I preferred that "Pile of people" from a Year ago. But just How long does it take anyone to finish one glass of water, and why do they never show who is shaving that Man's Beard after his sitting there talking for a whole year? NAS is so confusing, sometimes...!    :-)

    It's very autism-friendly of the blonde woman to tolerate atypical Aspie eye-contact of the other two, though. It took me a long time to work out that staring directly at people for months on end like that wasn't socially acceptable!

    However, while I know that I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, I have considered contacting the Trade Descriptions people. I first joined years ago, and I still only get this typing words thingy on my computer - my introductory "picnic-table complete with assorted attractive friends (drinks not included)" still hasn't been delivered!
