*Grump*

Ok, itÂ’s not been very long I know, itÂ’s been a day, and I tried to make it a bit brighter, I've added a bit of colour but I still don't like it.

(And before anyone starts saying about Pete I KNOW he's been working hard, not at any point do I think this is his fault and the poor guy has loads on his plate right now and has been dealing with it all very professionally, but unless Pete can put it back how it was, bless him, he canÂ’t make it better for me and that's not his fault!)

I donÂ’t like this radical change and it's made me grumpy.

I hate the fact we canÂ’t edit comments anymore, I hate the fact we have to type in so much crap just to comment, I hate the fact the home page is soooo dull, I hate the fact it's lost so much 'connection' with other bloggers, it's all so hard to find (yeah I know as we use it itÂ’ll get easier but I knew it before) and cliques will develop as it won't be as easy as before to surf around. Ok I know it isn't impossible to use but I fell for 20six because of the way it was different to all the other blogs. Now this place is just like all the others, and I can't see the point in being here when platform27 is like how 20six used to be.

I guess I'll give it some more time and see how I can make it more like home, but I'm wary.

Believe me this isn't great for me, I don't want to leave, 20six has given me so much in my life recently, I've had a reason to get out of bed when I've felt so ill I just wanted to die, I've met the most amazing people on here, some mates I hope I keep forever, I've been given some brilliant support and advice, IÂ’ve had fun and written some blogs I'd like to keep for the future and also now have a great record of the last few months of my life, so leaving here won't be a choice taken lightly, but even though I was ready for the change I didn't expect it to be so harsh. I saw 20six.de and figured it might be different here, I thought (hoped) they might have jazzed it up for the UK, but not only is it just the same but it even has German spattered through it (yes I know that will be removed).

I'll hold out for a bit, but it's breaking my heart to be here. It's just not the same anymore and it doesn't look too hopeful.

I'm not happy about this, so please don't be mean to me in the comments cos I'm just not up to it. IÂ’m not adverse to change, improvements are good and the way forward, but sometimes you gotta live by the old saying as it has a bloody good point: If it ainÂ’t broke, donÂ’t fix it.

Agreed Diva.

James (5.6.06 10:38)
I'm quite amused to see how the new site is already overrun with porn sites. Password-protected porn sites, that no-one can access. Ace!

Grumble grumble grump. I'm playing around with a new blog but it's too much hassle at the moment.

Sit back Diva, and I will make you a cup of tea, as the others run around fixing this plae up.

P.S. see there is an omen. The code letters I have to type in to make this comment are S - U - P - E - R ... se it is an omen

:-)

Oh and look - your blog's blood red.

20six sux.

Reptar / Website (5.6.06 12:44)
With you all the way Diva. I just wish I had some sweeties to cheer you up.

verbal / Website (5.6.06 13:46)
I tend to agree with you. Sure it is early days and all that, but I am not liking this!

youngmummy (5.6.06 15:18)

Nice colour. I agree the new look is horrible.

Bobble: *Hands over the chocolate to share in comfort eating* S’a bummer isn’t it?

James: Did you see that Gay Porn was in the big debates list? Lordy! LOL

Mr Frog: It’s taken me all bleedin' day to do this, and I’m still not happy but it’s better than it was and looks a bit like home xxx

Dippy *Does a tim tam slam with the tea* Ahhh that is better, thanks for the cuppa. I’m not sure just how super it’ll be but I’ll hang about for a bit and see ;o)

Oink: Yeah it was but after A LOT of faffing about I’ve got it back to it’s original colours ) Your comment inspired me to get off my arse and try cos I was so despondent this morning I was just gonna leave it as is! ;o)

Reptar; Oh honey thanks re the sweeties, I miss 'em so much too, here have some tea that Dips has just made, it made me feel a bit better (hope it bloody works, no idea if it will with the 'new' 20six anymore)

….. well the tea made me feel better, that and redoing my blog s

Verbal: It just doesn't bode too well for me to be honest ( We've lost so much in this change, it's like a step back, which is always sad.

youngmummy: You can also find me at this place if I’m not here: http://www.platform27.co.uk/diva , it’s like how 20six used to be *sniffle* I’ve worked hard to try and get this blog back but I don’t know how good it’ll be…. We’ll wait and see, I’ll let you know if I disappear off here honey, don’t worry! *HUGGLE* xxxxxxxxxx

Moochy: It is grim isn't it? Plus I hate the fact that everyone's email address is on display if you type it in (spam alert!) and all this extra typing for comments which you can't edit OR delete and.... oh bum.....*sigh*

Diva / Website (5.6.06 16:53)
Reptar, since I can't edit the comments (how annoying and crap!) I'm going to try one last time to give you your cuppa....

Sunshine / Website (5.6.06 17:19)

Amycady / Website (5.6.06 19:03)

I agree completely Diva! I'm finding it really difficult to navigate the new 20six. This is the first comment I've left since the changeover and I've no idea if it'll even show - as you said, so much crap to fill in! I *hate* that we can't see a recently blooged list on the homepage, as far as I can see there isn't a 'favourites' facility, you can't track comments... I'm really not helping with this negativity, am I!
Stay here for a little while Diva, if we all have to migrate to platform 27 in time we will. But lets try (as much as we hate it) to give this new 20six a chance - but we can only do it through a mass effort!

Diva / Website (6.6.06 14:39)
Sunshine: Hello chica, well, it’s sort of Diva’s house but it still needs a bit of tweaking ) Love ya stax too hon! xxxxxxxxx

Youngmummy: Hello sweetie, yeah platform27 is a cool place to be, but I will try here a short while longer, I’m not happy about so many things but I’ve managed to fix a couple of them already, but I do feel sorry for those who don’t know web design as it won’t be easy :-S (Haven’t a clue how that emoticon came out, it should be a confused face!) If you need any help just give me a shout and I’ll see what I can do hon xxxxxxxxxx

AmyCady: It was SOOOOO bloomin hard to do for me but yeah, I’m a determined old trout and so I did it! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Purple: Thank you sweetie, yours looked cool and purple too!

Jia: You are such a sweetie, thanks for that hon, I will def let you know where we go, same goes for you to if you travel away! xxx

Pan: It’s a pain in the arse isn’t it? I’ll stay a bit and se how it goes, but I’m not a happy bunny with all this grief, it certainly is not as easy to use as the old 20six was when I first started on it! Good luck hon and let me know if you go and where too! xxx

Arty / Website (6.6.06 17:04)
