what new font style? It is same font, just slightly bigger size.

with buttons instead of “new” ovals
the ovals were creating spacing issues on mobile. And we are trying to use similar elements on mobile and desktop to streamline the code.

Seriously though, most of these changes fricking suck. I've stayed away from secrant since it went to this. We'll all get used to it if we have to, but this is not an upgrade.

Pretty sure it doesn’t, just looks that way. It reverts back when you refresh a second time. Let me test with first DVing your post.


ETA: stand corrected. Thank you.

I'm sure most folks will get used to the changes within a few weeks. I liken it to updating your operating system on a PC from Windows 10 to 11, but on a much smaller scale. Things look different at first but you'll get used to it.

So now that this is done, can the next project be improving the search feature on this site?

Is it? If anything the characters seem thinner on the forum page.

Thread content is the same but the thread listing font under the boards look very different to me.

Can you post a screen shot of what you are talking about?

The dots that show a new post or thread suck! They are the same color as all the text. Don't like.

they are ovals that have been compressed into dots. Think of them as compressed ovals.

Sure. Not sure how I can show a comparison though.

The effect is mostly on the username column though.

There are some aesthetic changes

I have to say, the format used on this website is simple, yet light-years ahead of other "message board" sites across the internet. How easy it is to follow a thread and know who is responding to what is just so much better than places like Reddit and the 24/7 Sports pages.

Like I said: Simple, but very effective and easy to use.

That sounds like an admission of being different to me.

I already said the font size is slightly larger.

Still, that screenshot looks fine to me.
