Welcome to the new-look website for Yorkshire’s national newspaper

We have given our website a facelift, making stories easier to find, we hope, and the browsing experience more enjoyable.

Our new site has a sleek black look, and redesigned typefaces to more closely resemble the printed paper.

The pictures are bigger and clearer, and our web-exclusive films and podcasts are easier to find - they’re all in one place under the Audio & Video section.

You can also subscribe to receive our free daily newsletter, delivering the morning’s stories direct to your desktop. Just click “Register” at the top of the page to get started.

We will be rolling out more changes in the coming days and weeks. Meanwhile we hope you enjoy using the new, improved online Yorkshire Post - and we look forward to hearing what you think.

Here are the questions our online readers have asked about the new website.

Q, Why can’t I comment on the new site?

A, You can - but you have to register even if you were registered on the old site. It only takes a couple of minutes.

Q, I’m having trouble registering and I love my username so don’t want to use a different account.

A, A small percentage of people have had teething problems with registering. First things first, check your junk mail in case it has made its way in there. And here’s what to do if you don’t receive the initial registration email: Click on the “Login” section at the top of the homepage and request “forgotten password”, this will send you a reminder email so you can then follow the instructions to activate your account.

Q, Why has my comment appeared twice? I only pressed the button once!

A, This is a known problem and is currently being investigated. We’ll get it sorted asap and let you know.

Q, I’m still getting used to the website which seems pretty good up to now but just feel the homepage lack picture headlines.

A, We are still rolling out the changes to our site, and among the next will be more pictures and graphics on our index pages. Stay tuned!

We are listening to your suggestions so we can keep improving.
