It's so tiny, it looks like a kicked-over anthill. If it can't be read, what's the point of a forum?

I hope it's not going to stay this way.

Yes, it is smaller. @tomic is in the middle of doing some modifications to make the code which runs the forums more efficient, and with any luck, he'll bump the size up again soon.

oops, I left my most in the wrong place.. Anyhow, I can't get over how good the font looks using safari. Oh well. Cant most browsers choose the font? I seem to have seen that in preferences...

Oddly, Safari has just taken on the new look...

Now it's from 12px to 9 pt. Is this still OK? I mean, they are all fine to me but I am just asking for you folks in the crappy seats...

Darn, ok, I'm looking at this with IE and I can't see that anything has changed. Go figure..

Back in IE and refreshed many times. Stil looks the same.

I really have to go now, so I can't give you anymore feedback.

Still looks like 12 pt to me, too, even after refreshing. This is a good size.

Me too, that is the font is too small, and very hard to read. Using "Gray" theme, like it cuz its easy on the ol' red eyes late at night. The font looks to be 'bout 10 pt. or less to me.

<still squinting> Remains too small for my old eyes. Reading any kind of a long post is not an option.

What was wrong with it the way it was?

What size does it compare to? The size of the text under your name (reading, for example, "SFN Regular")? The size of the text of your name?

For me, right now, the size of the message text matches the size of the text which makes up the commands near the upper-right corner: "New Topic," "Reply to Topic," "Printer Friendly," etc.

How about now. Actually it was 9pt. but it is now 10pt.

I am working on it and will get it right. I am changing the method of font display to bring this site to current standards. Not only that but it should be faster and with easier to read fonts when I am done.
