Yeah, it's 'cause all the fonts seem to be defined by exact pixel sizes, i.e. 10px, 15px instead of "em" units which actually take into account the user's Internet Explorer font size settings... I'm sure Neil can do something about that?

[size=xx-small]i think the text size it way too big actaully.

i like the color, it don't bother me because my monitor brightness is set to a pretty low level. i think there should be different color schemes so people can choose which they like.[/size]

EDIT: And where did the search function go??? Or is the transformation not complete yet?


Is there a search function in this new version? Also, is there a way to get a combined output of all new threads/inputs (i.e., same as in the old version)?

Hmm...This new design isn't that bad, ill get used to it with time.

My only concerns are:

1) It is a bit bright...ahh my eyes!

2) It seems, with all the new stuff going on and the bigger posts that it takes a little longer to load, and as I am usually on headfi on my laptop, which is connected via a my phone line (56k), it gets a little annoying.

Nevertheless, I think we should just give jude some time to figure this thing out. It will get better.

Now it's working OK for me too.

I was fiddling with some IE security settings just now, but nothing that I thought should change the display.

Or maybe Jude and/or Neil changed something to fix it just now?

only the fonts in the signatures work for me.

also, this is not about the look, but i think there should be a way to search for members by location, that way i can find out who's near me and audition there gears.

[/size]No, in this case it's more like, "Oh, that's a new default setting with the new software, too?"

I'll look into it. I also liked to occasionally re-size fonts via the browser.

Yeah, that seems to be the trend in forum software--they tend to cater to the smaller monitors which obviously must be the vast majority out there.

The new colors are super classy.
