First they remove the underlines AND NOW THEY CHANGE THE FONT?

Does a ship that has been restored by replacing every single wooden part remain the same ship? Does a website that replaces every single feature remain the same website?

The parentheses encapsulating the "Posted on" text were also removed. Overall, the changes give the site a cleaner, more modern look.

Next step - remove the thread titles in every single reply within a thread. It's redundant and unnecessary. It was helpful when the forum employed a threaded view, which allowed a user to create a sub-thread within an actual thread, but it's nothing more than clutter at this point.

not to mention I've pushed his buttons one too many times regarding other crap. I don't think he's a fan of mine :/

Can anyone tell me if Cs has commented, and if so, has he mentioned the new look being cleaner? Also, did he use the phrase "design motif"?

Definitely changed, just noticed it, too. Thought I had my screen zoomed in for a second.




The fact that it is only on select words was throwing me off. Like big time. Surprised a thread wasn't on the OT about it.

Meh, I think it is a cleaner look.

It will take some getting used to, but I can dig it. Just wish we would have been properly notified of the pending changes. Thought I was losing my mind for a second.

It's too big. I'm not 80, I don't need this giant font to be able to read.

I agree about the overall size. Perhaps a point or half point down would look better.

Not digging the large font for the topic titles in the thread list on the desktop site. SEC Rant still has it right, though.
