Better. I hope they will make sections like "OWN THIS BOOK" then check it so that you'll know if you own that or not.

I like it too.. It was a Tiny bit hard to get around but Ive gotten the hang of it now.

Well, I changed my opinion about the new website. When I "saw" it for the first time, I thought it was delightful! The design captivated me. It is great! But, I started talking here in the forum, exploring this more carefully and I was always thinking "You're not used to it, it's just why you think the new website isn't as good as the old one", well I got used and I don't like it. It's complex, boring, full of flaws... I miss the old one, the warmth is indeed gone and I just understood this now, everything was so familiar in the old website. This one doesn't works as the old one. The design is better but now this became more a store than a Christie website. It was so good to be in the other website, it was all so shiny and simple. .................

yes...........

detectivepauljohn 05 Oct 08 at 3:33 a.m. GMT

Jemma, I also suggest that we can comment every story but no spoilers or just rate every AC novels.

dada222 03 Oct 08 at 12:41 p.m. GMT

one more thing. Why not make users able to select which page of a topic like this one to visit before actually visiting the thread.

moonraker 02 Oct 08 at 1:44 p.m. GMT

Yes, there is a need to have an option to be able to delete or edit posts. I often have to edit my posts when I spot typos! Thanks to whoever delete my posts (after I posted the same message 5 times!) on another thread!

AnneBeddingfield 02 Oct 08 at 8:54 a.m. GMT

Just a few suggestions. How about the possibility of editing or perhaps deleting your own previous posts on the forum. And maybe see a short description of other users when u click on their usernames like 'Favourite detective' or 'Favourite story'. It'd be fun. Otherwise the new site is lovely!

I absolutely love this new website! It honors Agatha Christie! Easy to navigate, well categorized, fascinating information, a remarkable tribute to the Queen of Murder. I find Mr. Matthew's blogs very interesting as he represents (for me) the vitals of this website. Fabulous! Many, many thanks to the creators! One little suggestion, if I may: Re: Guess the Quote; can we, please have some hints ? Thanks!

AnneBeddingfield 01 Oct 08 at 1:30 p.m. GMT

I love it! I love it!

Rea_Potter 30 Sep 08 at 5:38 a.m. GMT

This new site is quite good. :D

It's good. Will just take a little time to get used to.

I agree

hobbit 28 Sep 08 at 2:47 p.m. GMT

Can I also request the reinstatement of the little light bulb by each recently commented on topic. Thank you. Hobbit.

Dolly_B 27 Sep 08 at 3:02 p.m. GMT

I love the new website too. Very fresh looking. I especially like the pictures at the top of the main page - the best Marple and Poirot forever and nice to see Tommy and Tuppence included. And, of course, the wonderful lady who has given all of us so much pleasure.

dada222 27 Sep 08 at 8:24 a.m. GMT

The site is great! It is now unbugged (at least I haven't seen any), and extremely faster, contrary to the old site. Very, very fine work.

moll 26 Sep 08 at 7:30 p.m. GMT

not sure about it, I liked the way that you could see what TV shows had been shown for each detectives, so i could see what programmes were comming up

Marc_Anton 26 Sep 08 at 1:11 p.m. GMT

Mmmmm.....I am still feeling my way into the new website but perhaps I have to find out just by trial and error. Anyway, I hope that once the loyal posters have figured out how it all works, there will be some stimulating and interesting contributions. Is there a 'For the Knowledgeable' thread or do we have to create it ourselves?

Jemma 26 Sep 08 at 10:15 a.m. GMT

Hi Littlegrey! We loved the idea for the countdown - I just wish I'd thought of it first. Chorion will certainly be looking at all options to celebrate next year and will definitely consider this idea.

detectivespice_14 24 Sep 08 at 9:38 a.m. GMT

The new look's just awesome!!!!! [ although ] It can get a little confusing at times as to which page i am in....

vansittart 24 Sep 08 at 8:07 a.m. GMT

It's good. Will just take a little time to get used to.

Renisenb 24 Sep 08 at 4:08 a.m. GMT

I haven't been on for a while now (due to studies and all that)  just thought I pop in and wow! The new look is quite cool!  

curious 23 Sep 08 at 6:13 p.m. GMT

I really like the new website! I was just quite used to the old one, so now I have to get used with the new one.

hobbit 23 Sep 08 at 4:43 p.m. GMT

Also, how does one edit posts? There must be a way to add things and correct spelling errors in what we've written, surely.

hobbit 23 Sep 08 at 4:38 p.m. GMT

Actually I retract my previous comment. This site isn't that difficult to use, it's just a matter of adjusting to it!

One thing I would say, however, is that quotes are no longer emphasised by appearing in bold. Any chance that could be instated? It makes things a lot easier to read.

littlegrey76 23 Sep 08 at 4:23 p.m. GMT

thanks a lot for the add in the feedback list!

i have another suggest! if i can.

2009 will sign the 20th anniversary for Agatha Christie's Poirot series why don't put a countdown box for it in the Poirot section or in the home page, and the anniversary night, you can organize an internet chat party to discuss the series, to collect the memory of the fans about the series in one night all together! you can try to invite on-line Mr Scuhet to spend the night answer to his fans, great anniversary party don't you think?

please!

Sorry for sounding Contreversial but it looks too complcated and although I can see where you put your posts I can't quite see where you reply to each topic

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm sorry you're finding it a little hard to navigate.  We're going to be refining some areas of the site, so will definitely be looking at this.

i would like suggest one thing, will be wonderful if they put a link in every single book page if there is a tv/movie version for it!

We'll add it to our list!  Thanks for the feedback.

littlegrey76 23 Sep 08 at 3:49 p.m. GMT

i love the new site! i hope they put some news in real time about the pre- production of the new Poirot series using the christie news section and i would like suggest one thing, will be wonderful if they put a link in every single book page if there is a tv/movie version for it!

Jemma 23 Sep 08 at 3:43 p.m. GMT

I'm working on the new site at the moment for Chorion and it is really great to hear your thoughts.  I saw that you were finding the forum a little confusing - any thoughts on how we can make it easier from a technical point?

hobbit 23 Sep 08 at 3:37 p.m. GMT

I think the new site is wonderful; a really splendid design. I'm finding the forum a tad confusing at the moment, but I'm sure I'll get used to it in due course!

Holly 23 Sep 08 at 11:40 a.m. GMT

Still learning to get the hang of it, but so far it looks nice and simple. And the main page looks more up-to-date and appealing than it did before, in my opinion.

go_leafs_nation 23 Sep 08 at 10:41 a.m. GMT

I really like it myself! :)
