Yay… some rightsnet updates
Just wanted to share some updates on things we’ve been working on that will all come to fruition over the next few days and weeks ...
First up, we have a new site design going live later this week ... we’ve taken the opportunity to refresh our look, while keeping the structure of the site intact and so, after the shock of the new, you should still be able to navigate your way around pretty easily (and all your links and bookmarks will still work). As well as looking a little different, the new design has provided us with scope to improve the site’s accessibility and streamline some things here and there .... and also provides a foundation to build on as we look to make further improvements. Hope you like it.
Secondly, thanks to everyone who provided feedback via the survey we launched back in the autumn on the potential of us launching a new area of the forum in response to requests from those of you working with the devolved benefit system in Scotland. While there were views for and against, we wanted to respond positively to those of you who thought it would be useful, and so we’ll be launching something in the next couple of weeks.
Finally, we’re pleased to report that following our recent recruitment, we have a new person joining the rightsnet team soon ... we’re really happy and are looking forward to their arrival and to be able to introduce you to them. Us investing in and growing the team is very much about us wanting to provide more and better support to you, so do also get in touch if there are things you’d like to see us doing that we don’t already.
Cheers - Shawn
A small thing - the “folder” icon that sits to the left in the list of sub-sections for the forum? There’s not a great (or enough) contrast between the black (which signifies new posts/topics in that sub-section) and the grey (which signifies nothing new since you last visited). Could there be more? It was much better previously. Yes, there is the ‘Most recent topics’ section at the bottom of the list, but that doesn’t do quite the same thing…....
It looks different for me in different browsers (or different accounts? oops, that may be the issue..). See attached, firefox on the left, chrome on the right. The chrome black/dark grey version isn’t great.

I accidentally posted above from a device that I didn’t realise was logged in with my old account. But that’s a red herring, the site just looks different in different browsers. Here is an Edge screencap, for a third colour scheme.
If we get to vote, I prefer the firefox look.
