Forum Upgrade - Any Issues?

[s219]

I was on another forum that updated software, and the biggest problem for most users was the change to a Helvetica/Arial type of font. I think the same thing happened here. The previous font was a lot more readable in my opinion. This new one doesn't flow as smoothly and the font size within posts (and editor box) is too small.

Before someone tells me to zoom in my browser (which I already know I can do) I want to point out that 1) it's really only the font size inside the posts that's a problem (all other content is sized OK) and 2) many of us run through the "Today's posts" list and open each thread of interest in a new tab. Obviously it's not practical to manually zoom every single tab.

So, it would be great if the font size in posts and the editor window was a teeny bit bigger, or just give users the option to make global font settings. BTW, I'm only 42 and still have good eyesight, so this isn't a complaint from a grumpy Mr Magoo...

I don't know what the previous font was, but I definitely preferred it for readability over this new Helvetica/Arial style font.

thanks,

Tried that. Adjusted out past 21.56.452 reluctions. While that helped, now I have the tractor beam issue too. The fourth phase of the trans-location deflipperating convergence deionization blinker fluid control has caused a 180 degree reverging flutter in the tractor beam.

Try resetting the fibulation relutor bisection locator adjustment. I find 20.2 reluctions works for me.:laughing:

The "reply" button at the bottom of threads isn't working for me. I have to either 1) quote someone then delete the quote or 2) scroll back to top to hit the reply button

The TBN Favicon seems to have been replaced with a VBulletin checkmark this morning on my computer here. Running FF13.0 on Win7 x64

Firefox toolbar icon? It consistently has been the yellow tractor here. (after blue V once, at first view of the new format). FF13 and XP..

Should update if you do a hard refresh (shift + refresh) or update the bookmark. The icon wasn't working for me yesterday but is today.

Wow! And you picked up tractor beam issues there? That is amazing! Is your deionization filter possibly causing interference at the sub-sectional refractioning level? I'd check that before I turned it on again, no sense in destabilizing the ion inhibitor for no reason.

The "Reply to Thread" button at the bottom works when using Internet Explorer (for me, version 7). It DOES NOT work when using Firefox (I have version 12).

Changed back to Verdana for post content. Better?

Same with me, "Reply To Thread" does not work.
I use Firefox as I use Linux, even on Windows I use Firefox

Added to to-do list.
