Is it just me...?
I've only just noticed that some text on the forum (eg thread titles) is appearing in font like Times New Roman with serifs (which I can't stand!). Is this a recent change or just something I should have noticed (and clearly haven't) before? I find it very distracting to read so I'm surprised if I haven't noticed it before.

Very un-user friendly site
As an infrequent visitor to the site I have to say it's not the most user-friendly forum I have ever been on. A ton of symbols to "help" reply. If you don't have the key to them you're knackered. I've lost so many messages because I tried to see what different symbols did. I think it is way too over complicated. And why do…

Disappointing
So spent ages recovering my password (I joined 3 or so years ago and had forgotten it) to reply to a thread. Once the password was sorted, spent a fair while replying to then have my reply refused, because "new users aren't allowed to post links".
