Initially I didnt like it and felt the large print and whole layout was awkward and I didnt initially like the colour scheme. Plus the site seemed a lot slower. But I am getting used to it now and getting more comfortable with it. With usability, I still like the old design better. It just seemed clearer and more compact and more tidy. Plus the old design seemed to be quicker to navigate around ie the site seemed a bit faster back then. Although I am getting used to this design, it just seems slower ie when you click on an option, it takes more time to display, or eg you have to click something 3 times to see eg all the trusted viewers or weblists youve created.
