Default Font is crisper

The font is now crisper and easier to read. Superb upgrade.

I'm going to have to agree with Richie. The new style "looks" very nice, but since I am colorblind, the old style looks better to me. It's much clearer to me than the new one. I appreciate all the work that went into the new design, but I believe I will have to revert to the old style.

I like it,,, I like it... wasn't sure I was going to like the green, but the color combination is wonderful. Very easy to read.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks for the info Richie. It's great to have a choice of two looks. I find the blue a little more restful. I don't want to wake up too suddenly.

Are your screen sizes set at the default setting? This may or may not be a solution to the problem, but try resizing using the following:

<ctrl> 0 = Default Size
<ctrl> + = Increase Size
<ctrl> - = Decrease Size

If it works great. If it doesn't, c'est la vie! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I was going to suggest a polling to see how many positive responses vs. negative. After reading all the posts up to this point I don't think a poll is necessary. Looks great!!!

Color is just a little bright for me...find it distracting. Will utilize the prior screen.

I like the old style better. Now if you could do something about all the ads! I hosted a forum for about 2 years. No ads. But then I wasn't out to make any money on it. Check out BurgmanUSA Forum and Website for an example.

I love the new look! I even like the ads. They are not intrusive and easy to navigate when I'm looking for a particular vendor/product. Well Done!!

Looks good to me but the default font size (or style?) of the posts seem smaller and harder to read on my old eyes. Looks like it was dropped from size 12 to 10. Still have to slide my screen by 2 inches to read it all (using Apple computer). Only KathieI has lettering I can easily read!
Admin, can you increase the default font size slightly?

probably that way so that the ads are larger than the posts - or maybe because of the background color behind the post?
