Definitely struggling with this new white background and the very tiny grey font.

It doesn,t make for a pleasurable experience.
How is everybody else finding it?

Doesn't seem many people have visited the forum since the update was activated.

Not sure what that brief response is intended to offer Peter but the larger the font the darker it becomes and certainly from my perspective, the easier it is to read.
Since most of our forum readers are no longer in the early stages of youth, perhaps it might be a reasonable request to ask for a little leeway in the way the forum is presented?

I guess you are suggesting we can personalise the default font, if so I can't find it.

I too am struggling with font /white background,

I notice when I get to bottom of the post there is more white on the right hand side of page which seems to make it glare especially in a dark environment.

Perhaps the font needs to be bigger as I notice you are using 10.5 point another site is using size 13 which is clearer to read.

I have always found the moving horse that Robo uses distracting, need to scroll down so it is not showing.,

In your user control panel you can switch the avatars off, Robo's hoss can be disabled if you like.

Thanks tigerburnie did not know that all removed now.

Reading the forum on phone I notice it has less white space, just shows the posting.

This is without signing in on the phone, whereas I sign on laptop.

Have to say I find reading the forum unpleasant with the tiny grey font and harsh white background.

Are we ever going to get an admin comment to say if change is possible / impossible / no resources?

I'd quite like the avatars back on the left hand side of the comments also.
