Its the text which shows whether a link has been read or not that matters most, rather than any icons.

Just another couple to add !

Where is the list of UK nurseries gone ? I was looking for this to add a web link to an adverting leaflet we are going to use this summer at local public events and I can no longer find it

Also the junior site ? Its almost lost and buried as a throw away link at the bottom of the "Our Work" page

No way a junior is likely to find that it needs to be a big obvious link from the front page !

Which is a shame as its a bright lively site for a child better than the main site I think.

Also sorry to say I agree with Ralph and I don't have bad eyes but find the new colours very unclear re read and unread threads

Also can the pictures for "Taking Part" and "About Us" be different ? does not look good when they are the same

I didn't really notice until yesterday when the sun came out here finally.
Coming back inside and looking at the forum I could't see the difference in colours.

Hi Martin,
It is a big obvious link on the home page I'm looking at, RHS, half way down?

Some one cares to let me have an appropriate image say of a branch meeting or something more than happy to change it.
