I have a normal size reply box now, which is nice. The small font is still very annoying though. I tried changing it with the dropdown list, which inserted some code into the reply for the text formatting. But what I type in the box is not what I chose, so it's still hard to read as I type. The site is definitely faster, so good job on that aspect. Edit: Well, changing the font didn't change the font. And my last edit didn't work.

Ditto what Binjack said... this forum was already difficult to read, even before the update, with this white-on-black text. I know the devs are probably thinking "space theme" but that's a terrible combination for legibility, and it's the reason you don't often see it used any more.

I suppose that won't change, but the new smaller default font makes it even harder to read, especially on higher res desktops (I'm using 1600x1200). This font is tinier than in any other forum I visit. The message text is also displayed in a narrower box than before. Adding a break after "Member No." would help, but the overall impression is that the actual forum posts are being marginalized, while too much screen real estate is taken up with navigation, avatars, MV medals, and other visual clutter. How about giving some importance to the message text, which is the only reason we come here?

The server speed seems much better, but the new "look" is making my eyes bleed.

P.S. the reply box looks wide enough to me (Firefox).

Site does not remember where in a thread you last visited either. Refers you to page one constantly.

Mine works fine.

WOW! Fast fix Thank you

I would like to comment that the text is not actually smaller. I did a couple of print screens (I have one before changes) to compare text, and they all look the same when you compare the letters.

Ah. Looks good. Well, the text telling you that you are not logged in, when attempting to reply while not logged in, was Dark Blue on a Black Background. That's not very easy to read. ( Using Firefox BTW. ) Not very important, but that's all I found...

What browser are you using? Firefox 2.0 here.

Also, confirming earlier comments that the threat titles aren't showing old vs. new posts (check your colors for new vs. visited links, guys). I'm also not getting the jump to unread posts feature that was here, in the prior version.

P.S. just mentioning again that the SPEED of the forum is a mega improvement. That's really nice. Now fix the way we actually read information here (larger font size, more emphasis on the text info, less on the graphics flash), and it will be perfect.

Well, as to the text not being smaller - it is harder to read if nothing else.

The 'print screens' may show a similar text size, but to my eyes it is smaller by at least a couple points.

The text size is smaller in the reply box as well.

I get eye-strain with this current font. And it should not be that difficult to set it to what it was before.

And the problem of not remembering the last read post, so you always start at reply #1, is also annoying.


There are problems to be worked out, to be sure.
And I am confident that the devs will do so.

But it seems some of the problems are with specific browsers, which are even harder to fix.
The 25-per-page I am not so concerned with, even though I prefer 50 as well.

I am using IE7, by the way. I don't get the errors that Mumblefratz is getting.

I still can not edit a post.
Perhaps Mumblefratz could try that operation in IE6?

The link supposed to take you to the last post (the little grey arrow pointing right) also doesn't work.

If you click on someone's nick and look at their profile. Then click on metaverse profile, you end up looking at your own meta profile and not theirs.
