You weren't interfering. It's a valid suggestion that some people may not be aware of. Prior to the "improvements" to the site, most of the relevant search boxes were visible on the screen without the need to scroll down so much. It was more condensed with less white space. To me, it was neater. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

I use a 13inch Macbook and Safari browser, as far as I can tell the new "improved" layout on FMP (and probably other FH sites etc) is to do with their making their sites suitable/user friendly for tablet-users. One other example was Argos, which for a while seemed to have a tablet friendly layout totally unsuitable for a "proper" computer. I need to have three programs running simultaneously, browser, wp and fh prog (Reunion in my case), therefore the windows I have within my 13 inch screen are quite small. Using FMP means I have to overlay browser window onto either wp or fh window - irritating. AND by the time I have NOT found what I want on FMP this means that despite having a world sub I use it rarely. Not financially viable for long term sub.
