Hurray! Plain skin!

The latest release of DNA (the technology behind h2g2) includes a new 'Plain' skin - low graphics, simple text, the works. Superb. It was designed to help Digibox users access the site, but also not only does it mean the site loads much quicker on normal computers, but it's also ideal for mobile computing needs. I'll be able to use h2g2 to my heart's content using my PalmOS wireless device.

I'm just trying it out, it's shouting at me as it's so bright {I am used to black GOO}smiley - erm

I guess the reason this journal appeared in my message centre is because I've listed Mr President as one of my friends...

smiley - biggrin

smiley - hug

I'm used to Goo too, but this is quite nice. Maybe not quite as nice, and the layout isn't the best, but still, definitely a thumbs up.

I'm using it all the time now, as it's so quick to load and simple to use.

Discworld's Pythonist, it's appeared on your message list as I'm listed as one of your friends. It's a new feature of h2g2 which seems to be confusing quite a few people smiley - bigeyes You may not have actually added me to your friends list yourself - there do seem to be some random associations already happened. Anyway, whenever one of your 'friends' posts a journal, it appears in your message centre. Or something like that smiley - erm If you don't like it, remove me from your friend's list. I won't take it personally smiley - winkeyesmiley - biggrin

I quite like the font that the plain skin uses, actually. Nice and easy to read, and not quite as horrible as Times New Roman.

Yeah, the font is quite soft. And the h2g2 logo looks lovely here!
