I can't get around very well in this new MyCoupons.com forum. When I click on a forum topic I get to a page of available coupons for stores and not the topic I wanted to read. this is very frustrating and user unfriendly now. I will move on to a different internet deals community forum I guess, if I can find a good one.

Hopefully it is just some temporary glitches while they make the changes they want to. Hang tight. Check back in tomorrow and see how things are. It is a little crazy right now!

The lady on the home page looks like a revised version of the "Hungry Girl" (www.hungrygirl.com). Did the Hungry Girl get a summer haircut and start using coupons? LOL

New formats always take a bit to adjust and get rid of glitches

so far I've had no problems navigating the site; and I have to admit it's easier on my eyes

The new look is fine, but if it's not broke, why fix it?

I wonder if they don't realize that some of us are passed the age of 30 when eye site starts to diminish somewhat. Now, if they're willing to send me a 17 inch magnafine glass to hang over my screen that might help. Otherwise they definitely need to enlarge the print. What was here before screwing with things again was fine. I remember we had to go through this same print issue in the past when they were "improving" the site.

You can use your Web browser's features to make it easier to read.

On Internet Explorer, from the View menu, click Text Size, and then choose the size you want.

On Firefox, from the View menu, click Zoom, and then choose how much you want to zoom.

I can't get here from the main page anymore. I had to do a Yahoo search and I found a link under another link to the main page. I sent them an email requesting help some time ago and still have not received an answer. What I think is happening, is that the page is wider than it shows on my screen. The link for the forums is probably in the invisible part of the screen.

I have a light gray "frame" with a white background inset. The bars are sort of purple/pink color now. The tabs are royal blue and the bar at the top with the links for search and FAQ is a kind of kelly green. On this page, everything seems to be showing up. The invisible stuff, as far as I have checked is only on the home page.

Wildwood, there are 6 blue tabs across the top. Select "Community" to find the forums.

I am not a fan of the change and it took so long to load yesterday that I gave up.

Not on my screen. I have 5 tabs, and part of a 6th. The partial one shows the letters "co". I guess I should have tried to click on it, but it didn't occur to me that it would be called something else besides "forums". What annoyed me most was that no one bothered to respond to my email.

Thanks for letting me know what the "co" is for.

Looks pretty well the same on Firefox, IE, Chrome, and Safari for me (and I suddenly feel nerdy), legible enough, but my scroll wheel's getting quite the workout.

Took a little longer to login but everything works fine otherwise.I guess the white background will get my eyes prepared for the sunny days ahead lol.One change I would love to see to the boards in the future is making it so when you have your window resized to half your screen that the posts can still be read without scrolling back and forth.I've seen this feature on other boards so I know its possible.
Example of what I'm talking about.
This a pic of my screen divided into two windows.Mycoupons forum on left, another forum on right.With Mycoupons I have to scroll across to read everything but the other forum I dont.

Ok, just discovered a problem.Mycoupons is using so much of my computers CPU that I cannot even use any of the buttons in the explorer bar on the window of Mycoupons.I checked my task manager and Mycoupons is using 99% of my CPU.

I really don't like this new board style at all. It is very weird and confusing. You have to scroll half way down the page to get to the posts. The white background is so white it hurts the eyes. I can't find anything. I am sure I will think of a few more things, but that's the most obvious right now.

They said this was only temporary as they worked on the boards. Is this permanent now?

I agree completely. I wish they hadn't changed things

I'm having to login every single time I come here. And, it's so slow. And, hardly anyone is even posting making it not even worth it. I've never gotten too up-in-arms over the changes, usually if you just wait a few days it works itself out and I get used to it, but this time it's not happening. I'm losing interest.

I guess it may be a hit or miss situation. I am having no trouble with the board loading. I don't have a problem with the looks of the board. However, even if I were having problem, I'd give it a week or two until the problems are tweaked. I certainly wouldn't gather up my toys and go to the house just yet.
