Maybe it's the resolution of my computer but I don't find this text hard to read at all. I think it's really cool looking!

Yeah I know what they're talking about and it's fine to me? smaller than other bits of text but not hard to read on my computer?
If other people are having trouble though... I just love this text!

It would mean that the text on the main page would be the same size as this text here that you're reading...which I tried but it looked B I G. Let's see what everyone else thinks.
Everyone go to the main page, and view the Hyperion Board, you'll see an example of the next size up. I think it looks too big, yo!

That is pretty big. People can always hit Ctrl + (or Command + for fellow Mac users) to make the text bigger on their browser, if they need to. I think the new text works really well.

Yeah I think that's pretty big! Is there an inbetween size? Between this and the other?

Here is what I aim for:
I would like the text in the Info Center as well as the Last Post column to be the bigger size, while the board descriptions remain this smaller size.

I'm not sure if I like the font or not. I think on the main forum page, it clashes with the otherwise "sleekness" of the forum... not sure if that makes sense? It reminds me of old websites. SA has always looked very modern, to me, but this serif font makes it look a little, hm, clunky.
But in posts etc. I really like how it looks.

I always thought the font was fine the way it was.
I also think it's okay as it is at the moment.

The previous font was Verdana, the most commonly used type-face on the internet besides Arial.

We're back at Verdana, aren't we? I like that. It's very good to read.

We're back at Verdana, aren't we? I like that. It's very good to read. Actually we're using Tahoma instead...which is similar. Also, you might notice that text in the Last Post area, and Info Center on the Main Page are a size bigger! Hopefully that makes things easier to read!

Yeah you've done a great job Phil! I think it's perfect size. Everything on the board is really accessible, for me anyway.

So it's Tahoma, thanks for the info - I should have recognized that ... The board is utterly reader-friendly, and I love it how much you care and that it is even possible to be involved in the process of puzzling out the perfect font etc. Great work!

is it just me that has; on everyboard? No, it's happening to everyone. Something is up with the forum's Photobucket. Phil will know what's up once he sees it.

I like the new look. Black, gray & blue is classic.
Nice to see you use the non-winning entry layouts. Erica did a good job on the banner.

Yup. Fixed. I kinda feel there is a button missing on the main page, could we not fill it with something? I know the watcher button was there but that was larger than the available space. Yup, just not sure whether to have a button for: Watchers Dollhouse Angel Only Human Something else... Just trying to decide what would be best in that place.

Maybe make the Twitter button a half size one? That would allow you to use two from that list.
The Buffy button may have to go back to where it used to be though for everything to look right. Just another idea if you wanted to add even more buttons.
