It seems that site design has become a slave to advice offered by people who don’t actually use these sites for the purpose they are intended. I still cannot see why the visual and access features of the old design couldn’t have been retained while the increasing flim flam claims about data security etc. couldn’t have been placed in the gubbins of what makes the site function.

The UK Airshow Review site has the option for use on mobile devices e.g. phones – if it has it why can’t this site do it. That way with a return to the old format that feature could be incorporated – I do not believe that these things are incompatible. Or are we some part of a strange competition amongst web site designers who have lost sight of the fact that it is the users of a particular forum who make it function according to its purpose. 

We can only hope.

Well that wouldn’t be surprising would it now?

Well I joined UKAR simply because Blu_2’s Meteor restoration had gone there. It’s a pity that one of the most informative and downright interesting projects about moved because the changes here were the cause. I will still visit this forum but the overall layout, the style and the incomprehensible need for changes in the first place seem to have been an act of self-immolation by Key Publishing.
