um, couldn't work out how to post except by replying to someone.

anyway - the new design. look, I read this site every day so you know I luvs ya, but...
It's too garish and memory intensive. It used to take too long to load and this has made it worse. (I don't know why exactly - I visit other sites with just as many pictures and java which seem to take much less time to load.) The red on black is no good. Good ole ITV black / white / blue was much better. The wooshing car at the top looks like a high school kid's drawing.
On the positive side, I like the bigger pics and the scrolling through them. But the panels on the right hand side of the picture should be buttons that take you straight to the relevant story.
Cheers
