Your Letters (about our new look)

15:37 UK time, Wednesday, 29 April 2009

Hang on a moment, has something changed round here?
Basil Long, Nottingham

Are the majority of readers men or my mum? Neither ever notice a new outfit.
Robyn, Cheshire

What have you done to your layout? Young man/woman, you're not going out looking like that!
Alex, Bristol, UK

Ooh you've had a makeover. But I liked being able to read the last 7 days Monitor all on one screen...
Lee, Bormingham

"Oh no! They have changed the Magazine page. Monitor isn't here"
"Oh yes it is, it is just in a new position."
"But I don't know if I'll like it that way..."
"Hmm, actually seems quite fresh and easy to read."
"But it isn't how I am used to it."
"You will adapt, you will grow to appreciate its orange flavour and its completely new layout."
"But they didn't warn me they were going to do it."
"Ah well, they were probably too busy to write and ask your permission. Just grow up and get on with it."
So, lunchtime over, I emerge from my lie-down in a darkened room and feel slightly less anxious.
The Therapist, Portsmouth

With the revamp, is there an equivalent of the old Monitor where all the components (Letters, PM, QOTD etc) for the past seven days or so can be seen on the one page? I found that invaluable if I'd missed some days to be able to catch up with everything in one go. Now it seems I will have to separately click for each component and for each day - is this correct?
Paul Greggor, London
Monitor note: We're working on it...

Orange? I thought I'd been redirected to the Cbeebies website for a minute. Hideous! Even worse is the clash with the news icon in the top left. It hurts my eyes. Please make it stop.
Emma, Sunbury

You've been tangoed!
Kate, Haslemere

I know orange and coral are this season's black, but it does clash with a the burgundy a little. Was there no focus group to point this out?
Kat, London

Not the first symptom of swine flu, I hope?
Chandra, London

Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh! MY EYES! Remind not to click on the Magazine early in the morning.
Izzy, Reading, UK

I don't likes change!!!!
Mark, London

You've turned orange. Taking fashion tips from Robert Kilroy Silk/Gavin Henson/David Dickinson? Scary.
Imogen, London

No, No No, No No No, NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo. What have you done?!?!
Flabbergasted, Tokyo, Japan

I'll get my sunglasses.
Mark Esdale, Bridge

"So Andy, what colour shall we make the banner on the new website?"
"Orange!"
"Are you sure? Just last week you said orange was a brash colour, more suited for fast food adverts than wry observations and reflections?"
"Yeah I know."
"So what colour then?"
"Orange!" [sigh... click of mouse...] "I don't like it!"
Jeff, Phoenix, US

Oh my, you look lovely. I guess I'll have to eat healthy and exercise to read this page now. Bugger.
Nadja, north of Boston, US

I'm afraid your new look is rather unflattering. Don't be offended, hardly anyone can pull off orange. Try black, you'll find it's quite slimming.
Cate, Santiago, Chile
