I was playing here just a little while ago and it didn't look like this. I left to check some baseball scores, came back, and am quite shocked. Does anyone else have difficulty reading the really tiny script?

I always enjoyed coming here because it was so easy to read and use, now it's just hurting my eyes! Confused

I too find the print very small. But I found that I could make it larger by using the 'view' button up top.

I guess we will get used to the new scheme. I too am one who preferred the simplicity of the old format. This is too busy or something.

There is another problem and that is that there is now no function to tell you if you have PMs!!! I hit the PM and there was one in there - and the button looked the same before and after.

Dave?? are you listening? How will people know if they have a PM or not???

Hey, I kinda like the new format. We got used to the beret, we'll get used to this.

I like everything except the loss of the previous/next thread links at the top of each thread. We have to return to the sub-forum just to view the next thread? How very inefficient!

I'm not use to the beret, in fact it creeps me out a bit. Looks a bit like Clark Griswald (Chevy Chase) in European Vacation.

Maybe I'll get used to this but, geez, it's so unappealing, so...juvenile somehow (must be the pastels). It makes me feel like I'm on a forum for Barbie doll collectors rather than teachers. Let's have fewer cosmetic changes and more functionality, please.

I like it. no problem reading the print, looks like what, times new roman 12? Georgia?

the dark yellow is an improvement from the baby diaper yellow of the past. very bold and clear, if a little retro and blocky. Me, i like retro.

anyway, it's dave's ball so he gets to make the rules.

I don't mind the new format, but the new colors are hurting my eyes.

Irish, I agree.

Yeah, sure, we'll all get used to it. I've already gotten used to yahoo's new email home page, which I think looks more like an online dating service homepage.

Why the change?!?!? It looks weird.

Sad

Damn, Im actually gonna have to learn how to override teh style sheet he uses. I dont care too much about teh colours, but that font is way to hard to read, but as a size issue, and as a face issue.

It looks like Big Gay Al's Big Gay ESL Cafe Shocked Scrumptous! Rolling Eyes Fabulous! (I'm trying to be ironic)
