Is there anyway to adjust the stylesheet for the forums and make everything the size it was? It's much too big right now.

Considering the site isn't finished, give it a day or so.

Hey, quick reply. Nice.

Oh, and I'd also like my user title back. Small, but important.

You can override it yourself by using a style sheet of your own or tell Safari to make the font smaller. But the design isn't finished, so I would wait a little till everything settles down.

Could you please NOT make the text smaller. The old one was way too small.

I agree with Tetenal - can we keep at this size? I remember posting, asking how to set a separate style sheet for MacNN to increase the base font size. All the solutions I received (and thanks to those that helped!) were only partial successes.

Larger fonts = good. Don't make me dig out my research on font sizes and reading speed. My self-esteem is low enough already...

I dunno...it just made the place seem more Mac-like to have Geneva 9-point or 10-point being the default font for everything. I kinda liked it. Wouldn't mind having it back, personally. Just my 2�.

I'm glad I found this thread. When I went to the forums this morning I went "hey I don't need my glasses anymore"! That's some big type. At least now I know it's temporary.
Whew.

Text is much better now, and I'm glad that "blue bar" is gone between each post.

Oh, you made the font smaller again. Thanks. NOT!

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Not everybody here is still 20 and we have 100 dpi displays these days. Why insist on microscopic fonts that can't be read with a magnifying glass? Shouldn't text be comfortably readable?

Can we then get a font size setting in the user preferences so everybody can pick his own size?

This is much better (and I'm a person way way way over 20).

I find the text size much better now, but there still seems to be too much space between topic titles in the forums listings, and too much white space in posts. But thanks for my title back.
