Admin, can you increase the default font size slightly?
I agree with above - have had to default to the old.

Testing a reply using font size 3 to see if it is more readable

. Here is font size 2

And font size 4

Hey kathie, do you have a default setting for your replies that enlarges the font and makes it purple? I did find yours nice to read.

I find the default (old) style much cleaner and easier to read.

I don't care for the new style at all.

Thanks for giving us the choice.

Thanks for the test. Font size 3 looks just fine to me.

The purple is good until quoted and then it is hard to read on the green background. But then so are a lot of the other color fonts.

I Like the clean clear look and it seems easier for my eyes to read the posts. I think it is the contrast. THe white really stands out against the green and the beige feels very relaxing. Thanks for all your hard work.

Like the new look...wish the ads were at the top or bottom vs the side. I have to slide screen over on every page.
Tks for all you do regarding this site.

Default Needs bigger page buttons!

Overall functionality is better. I agree that green jumps out at you, anyway you could provide an optional color like blue? For a touch screen device, such as my iPad, the page buttons need to be significantly bigger to be user friendly.
