The shamrocks have been occluding/obstructing the text on me for days -- making it nearly impossible for me to read posts -- but that has suddenly stopped. yay!

No, and it looks like the old format is back!

I don't see it that way, Jasdip. Looks like back to normal to me.

This is an interesting coincidence:

When I contacted GW, on 3/12/03, about the changes, I included the choice to get emails from any responses. I have 40 replies, meaning there were that many KTers who said they were unhappy re the changes.

In my message to GW I asked them to explain to us why they made the change. I still have not received a reply from them, but I guess they heard us and made the change back. Hope so, anyhow. And I sent another message to thank them for changing back.

I guess we will see.

I didn't see any shamrocks, and things look back to normal for me again...no lines running through names, etc. Thankful that things are normal again.

I see shamrocks for a second.....looks like it is back to normal...guess "they" listened...

back to the old format here. I see the shamrocks just briefly as the page first loads but not once it is fully loaded.

I am so glad they fixed it because on my Android tablet it was just about useless trying to reply and I am on it the majority of the time now. The reply box ran over to the stuff over on the right side and the pictures covered where you were trying to type so you could not see any of your typing. You had to just guess and hope it was really there lol.

Try clearing the cache on your browser it may have something stored that is messing with it. That is always the first thing to try.

Hmm, I see the shamrocks along each side, but the format has returned to the previous set up. I have seen so many changes to GW since the days of Spike, nothing surprises me. This looks perfectly fine to me.

Pardon my booboo in my post above. I really didn't mean 3/12/03. I meant 3/12/14. Sorry if that confused anyone.

The page with the messages is normal now for me.
Earlier this morning, the page was completely transparent, with the shamrocks showing, which made the printing extremely hard to read.

EVERYTHING is back to the old way now. Thank you GW!

Whew.... Glad to be back to "normal"..... such old 'stick in the mud's ' we are.

Thank you, thank you GW!!!!!

I see shamrocks as the page loads and then they disappear. Glad all is back to normal, I found the new change too distracting.

Interesting. I notice when they change things but not when they go back to the 'normal' way. But it is so much easier to read all this now. It would be interesting to know the average age of GW'ers`. I'm 60 and need reading glasses and when they start making the page cluttered or smaller font it does bother me.

Looking good again, GW!

Nothing unusual here. Nor saw anything strange/obnoxious as in the other post?
But I don't "live" on here to notice things either.

Ditto, phyllis mn! So glad to have the old style back--much easier on the eye.
