Everything is different and nothing is the same anymore and what is this how did I get here with large fonts I am not good with computers.

 

[Dead Man]

Damn I just woke up to this, thought my shit was fucked up. If this is the new thing then I'm sure I'll get used to it, but at the moment my fucking head hurts.

stop shouting you assholes

Haha, the reactions are interesting for a one point change ;b. But I understand, we've stayed consistent since 2004, any change is going to look bad, or weird at best.

Not sure what I prefer yet. Obviously just experimenting, so all elements might not be consistent, ignore that part.

Save us, EviLore!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nuke 12px from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

 

[Ikuu]

Fortunately it only took a minute to make a style to change it back.

 

[Holy Wars]

whats the point

 

[Trigger]

I don't like change. >_>

But why?

 

[Andrefpvs]

Actually, it's not bigger at all:

Note that, for thread titles that span two lines, it will be a little bigger, however.

Interesting, thanks. Placebo effect it was.

By the way, your name is relevant to this thread.

 

[strafer]

Just for the lulz change to 30.

 

[Kincaido]

Okay, good to know I'm not crazy. Thought something was wrong with my eyes or something after staring at my Vita screen for so long.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Spoiler

Already adjusting.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Just for the lulz change to 30.

This needs to happen.

I prefer the change, maybe everyone else has better eyes than me.

You should increase font size once every five years to accommodate GAF's aging population.

 

[ReiGun]

Does this mean we're getting signatures too?

-------------------------------------------------

lmaoooooo

This would actually make me okay with the font change.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Ugh, I don't like this. Having to zoom out messes up other stuff too.

 

[SolKane]

WHATS HAPPENING

It's not just a question of point, but the font the sizing is being applied to. IMO the larger size with this particular font looks and reads poorly (at least in Chrome).

 

[HerbertFish]

Did it change back or am I adjusted

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Fun Fact: The IGN forums absolutely died after a board re-design.

Won't happen here, but it's a true story.

 

[LiK]

WHATS HAPPENING

argh, my ears!

 

[BosSin]

 

[SmithnCo]

This was freaking me out. Now it's either too big or too small when I adjust it manually.

 

[MThanded]

Just for the lulz change to 30.

That would be amazing.

why did you even say this lol

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Oh thank god it is server related, I was short of going to take Firefox apart. I don't like the change either

 

[lowrider007]

.

cheers, good to hear it's only experimental atm.

Viewing @ 80% zoom isn't too bad, just the time stamp text is a little blurry but readable.

 

[UFRA]

Shit, now I adjusted my browser zoom and I'm all fucked up on what is reality and what is not.

What sort of animal or games console do we have to sacrifice to go back?

 

[Rewrite]

Have you guys seen the first post of an |OT|? It doesn't look good, IMO.

 

[SolKane]

Somebody drop us a CSS file quick

Any chance we can just keep this as an experiment? It'll make for a nice "that one time" story.

 

[Tomat]

Jesus, I thought I was going freakin crazy. I like the older text better to be honest.

 

[EviLore]

It's not just a question of point, but the font the sizing is being applied to. IMO the larger size with this particular font looks and reads poorly (at least in Chrome).

Yeah I'm inclined to agree. I think that's why I went with the 11 point way back in the day, something just looked weird about it at 12 even though it's more readable.

lol @ comparing this to the IGN boards dying

 

[Treefingers]

I agree with those recommending not using Verdana at this size, not the best. I would just use "sans-serif".

 

[Loudninja]

THIS IS GREAT.

Oh man that hurts.

 

[Aeana]

Works for me, since I always increased the size anyway. Old/Blind GAF unite? :\

 

[Kentpaul]

Evilore has a bunch of friends over laughing at our expense

 

[Dave1988]

Change is bad!

Change hurts usssssss!

 

[Wario64]

My font changed too. I rebooted my computer because of it.

 

[LiK]

i don't even know you anymore :O

DOOM!!!!!!

This is where we disagree.

 

[Professor Beef]

lmaoooooo

I haven't used that sig in such a long-ass time.

 

[Horsemama1956]

I kept hitting crt+wheel down to shrink it but other elements were too small, lol.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Thought my Chrome browser was fucking up D:

So its a permanent change?

 

[wenis]

you know what... i took off my glasses and my eyes didn't go crazy like they usually do when I browse this site.


I'm for these changes.

bump up the rest of the non-text post settings so that everything is even.

EMBRACE CHANGE, EMBRACE THE FUTURE.

 

[S.Dedalus]

Holy shit at all the "Verdana" comments... my whole life, I've been reading/mentally pronouncing it as "veranda." My world has been rocked twice this evening.

By increasing the font size you ruin the interelationship of the negative shape, the figure ground relationship. The shapes between characters and within the characters so that the counters and the space between them just do not hold the letters anymore. It's no longer letters existing in a powerful matrix of surrounding space it's just jarring to the eyes by creating such an expanse between each letter you make each word feel obtuse.
