I LOVED THE OLD FONT AND FORMAT! I CAN HARDLY READ THIS ONE! I'm sitting here , half blind (not really blind), I found the old "rounder" font easier to read. There are a few sites , news, I no longer read, because they chaneged the font and format. PLEASE GO BACK! joyces.

Depending on which browser you use, you may be able to select your desired font in your browser preferences. For example, I use a browser called Camino on a Macintosh computer. In the preferences (selected from the application menu), I can check a box labeled "Always use my fonts" and then use a dropdown box to select the font I want. This lets me display pages using any of the fonts installed on my machine. You might check your browser for something like this.

hope this helps...

I use Firefox on the Mac (but I think it's the same for PC). You can fix this from your end.

Go to the Firefox menu ---> select "Preferences"
From the 7 preferences categories at the top of the page select "Content"
The lower section of that page says "Default font" and on the far right you should see a button that says "Advanced..."
Click "Advanced..." and you will see a new preference page appear.
In the middle of that page there is a checkbox and after this it says "Allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selections above."
UNCHECK this box.
Look above and make sure you like the fonts that are selected there, then click "Ok". Close the preferences pane.

I'm not sure if the changes take effect right away--you might have to restart your browser.

Personally however I LIKE the new font, but I think it's a matter of your monitor, the lighting, your eyes, what you're used to reading, etc, etc.--each person is different.

Please bring back the old forum, font and font size. It was much easier to read.

I'm using Firefox as my browser and all I have to do for bigger fonts is use ctrl+ or ctrl- to increase font size or decrease.

I'm not having a problem with it. It also seems faster.

It is not the style of the fonts I am having problems with - it is the background and the color of the fonts - grey font on grey background - changing the font through firefox and even making it larger does not help.
I guess the board is now going to be only for folks with young eyes.

Thanks, Daffodil. I use Firefox and I never knew that.

We use Internet Explorer and that CTRL+ worked for me, too. Thanks for posting that!

Thanks for the feedback. We increased the font size 10% and changed the default font back to Verdana. We'll continue to fine-tuning the color scheme.

I like the new board. The colors are nicer, more options, and I love the new font. I sometimes have problems seeing the screen when my diabetes acts up and this is a much better font size.

How do you change the colors? The orange is very hard for my to see, so I have not been reading the board. I am giving it another try - it would be fine if I could just change the orange. Any help would be most appreciated.
