This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm sorry to say this, but I preferred the old format to this one, I don't know, it felt cleaner to me. The worst is that I find the fonts very small to my taste. Is there a way to have bigger fonts? Would there be a problem if the administrators made the fonts bigger?

Thank you

The fonts are the same size depending on your system. What browser and operating system are you using?

Define small. Can you attach a partial screenshot? I tried it on Windows XP IE7 and it looks OK to me at 1680 x 1028. Some fonts are smaller, but not unreadable, and allow for more room.

"Not unreadable" kinda depends on your eyesight. For me (XP, Firefox, 1920x1200) the fonts here are pretty small compared to some other boards. It's not bad enough that a little Control + '+' action won't fix it.

It's kinda odd that the WSYWIG editor's font size is larger than the font size on the page. You don't really get what you see, although it's darn close.

I made the fonts a little bigger. Let me know how they are for you.

Looks good. The quote font is now larger than the text font, which looks kinda odd but isn't a problem.

Follow up: it looks like there might be some inheritance oddities, because sizes and decoration look different depending on whether its a post, a preview, or a preview of an edit.

Not much I can do since it looks fine on some browsers and not on others. My advice is to find a better browser.

What would you recommend? I'm currently using Firefox and I've never had any other problems with it, including other sites using VBulletin.

Edit: this post was made using IE 6 (the other browser on my work PC). I wouldn't really call it a problem. But it may have been that some CSS was cached and others weren't, because I noticed it shortly after you changed font sizes, and it isn't happening now in either browser.

We cross posted your reply and my edit. I think it was just a CSS caching issue, because it's not happening now.

One (microscopically minor) thing I've noticed is that in Firefox (2.0.something), the preview of an edited post does not italicise the quotes in the post. IE italihandles it properly. It's one of those things that's so small I would never have noticed or mentioned it if it wasn't a thread about fonts. It might be that it's always done it, I don't know if I've ever previewed an edit before now. Or it might be more of that caching stuff and will sort itself out once my browser is back in sync with the site.

In either case, I'm just pointing it out as an oddity, not a complaint. Wholeheartedly enjoying almost everything about the new setup. :)

Who knows? Modern php-based software like this is now so bloated with CSS that it becomes very difficult to track down issues. I give up :)
