Trying out Larger Fonts

Post by Michael Stoic » Sat Dec 10, 2011 1:26 am

In the coming days / weeks, I'll be trying to improve the forum display, starting with the font sizes. I am only impeded in this by having just two browsers (IE and Firefox) and a relatively high resolution monitor to work with.

I want to make sure the changes don't "break" the display on your end, but I don't have a way of testing the results on every resolution out there. IMO, the fonts could/should go a bit larger, but before we try it we won't know how it will look.

So, please stay tuned, check out the new display and let me know what you see and like or otherwise. As with every type of visual layout change, I'd give myself a few days to adjust before deciding up or down.

I won't be making any sudden movements. We'll go real slow on this - one pixel at a time. Seriously, I'll up a few of the fonts by 1px and wait for the feedback.

Please Note: The Font Size Increase went into effect on 12.10.11.

Michael

OK here - I'm using Safari on a 13inch Macbook Pro.

Different blue font color, too?

Michael,
Looks good on this end. I use Safari on a 27 inch IMac. Enjoying the site ever since I found it. Please continue and thank you for all the work you do on the site. I echo what somebody said earlier about we really don't need a trouble shooting section because of the way the items are broken down.
Thanks again, Cliff

I'm using Bing and Google on a HP laptop with 17" display and a external Dell 19" LCD display and the changes are definitely an improvement.
The contrast is better, the colors are more distinct and it seems to be clearer overall.
Thanks.

Many Thanks to everyone for the feedback! I think it's safe to conclude that the new font sizes should remain in place.
