I know it's probably only a minor thing but why has the major colour on this forum changed to red? Many view it as negative colour, it's also a colour that is rather obvious and noticeable- not ideal when you are trying to view the forum on a phone without someone else seeing bright red text and boxes!

I guess it is to keep with the stop it now branding. I agree it is a distracting colour. Does seem a bit harsh since this is a forum for family, partners friends etc. We are not the target market for the main stop it now service. But I can see why they did it to match branding.

same here, I really don't like it. If feels like it's screaming at you, the red it just too bright, it's also not easy on the eyes. I certainly don't feel comfortable using it anywhere other than in the safety of my own house now.

Was thinking the same. Makes me think of danger, not the best idea.

Whoever had the brain wave to light up this application DANGER RED needs speaking too.

Its now totally unfriendly and unusable outside the privacy of one's home. I'm very disappointed by the fact ANYONE can see the site I am looking at and from a personal perspective I don't want them to know.

The new format will certainly make me think twice of opening the application in case it attracts unwanted attention.

LFF get a grip and consider a different colour... You are not helping the families and victims from accessing your material.

Hello

Thank you for your comments. You may have noticed that some of our websites have merged, which is why they currently share the same colour theme.

However, I would like to reassure you that in due course the colour will be changing. Hopefully, this will resolve your current concerns about using the forum.

Many thanks

Lucy from Stop It Now!

I notice that all is back to a far more neutral colour scheme! Thank you.



I know it seemed a bit pretty to be moaning about colours but it really does make a difference in this horrible space we all find ourselves in.



Thanks!

Thanks from me too. The 'red' really did SHOUT!
