Happy with this. Means I can delay new glasses again.

The quick reply box is the same size as it was originally.

 

I noticed the change on the main page because all the last post times and last poster were all bold and looked horrible so I went looking for an explanation.

 

I personally don't need the larger font size and it just means I have to scroll even further to get to the end of the page and onto the next page.

Hate it. As a desktop user, I prefer more information on my screen. I use a smaller font in CLion and work comfortably all day using that.

Is it just me but I can’t see anything different in Safari on iPad.

 

 

I can't discern anything different in Safari on MacBook either.




Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I guess the clientele is ageing, after all!

 

 

This!! The fact that I noticed it immediately (also thought I had accidentally increased zoom!), and approved of the change, reminded me that it's almost time to apply for the pension :-)

heavenlywild: Love the font, much easier to read.

Would be great if the font can be just a little bit larger.

 

Like this?

I am glad you stopped there, @freitasm

 

 

 

Looking at my elderly dad's kindle, I can read it without glasses from where I am  - and that's Auckland (he's in Dunedin).

It's an even number yes! (14px still looks nice)

Now can you change the font to Comic Sans, just for an hour or so? I really just want to read the hate mail....

How feasible would it be to have this as a user-customisable setting? I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd like to keep the larger font, but personally it just feels like a heap of extra scrolling or zooming my browser out when I browse GZ lol.

 

Unless anyone can recommend a lightweight Chrome plugin that remembers zoom settings by site?

If we're making requests.... maybe in the future it would be possible to have differently coloured theme options, the current beige/gray is fine, just a bit... dated? Personally I do my time on here on my TV, so I would love a dark mode. I like the colour scheme of Synoforum as an example.

Cheers,
Joseph

iPad safari first increase was very noticeable and increased clarity but noticeably more scrolling required.This last decrease feels like the old original font.

You will never please all of the people all of the time.
