Default New Website!

Da-daaaa!!

Hello everyone! The more frequent member's will notice that we've just undergone a major redesign on Growfruitandveg.co.uk and the forum - all comments (and faults) are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Looks nice, modern and sophisticated, completely unlike me, sort of M&S makeover. This isn't just any garden forum, its a plant loving, veg growing, happy helping garden forum.

Cheers bods.

Well I say! Very fancy. Took me a moment to work out what was where, but it seems very clear and easy to navigate. Nice Job!

It's a definite improvement Dave (and team), job well done I'd say. Not sure on the online/offline buttons yet, but generally looks like a good update.

Great stuff, glad you like it, just gave it a more modern facelift including a new forum button set and extended the forum width a smidge.

Looks good at first glance, will save proper surfing for when I get home to my usual setup though. Well done admin dudes (and dudettes)
