This is one of my last posts on the old look site (I hope, all being well).

Currently I am typing this in Verdana. In the new look the Font you will be reading it in Arial.

This is by accident not design, and it can be changed back, but it will take some work (as the general site style sheet is in Arial and that is overriding the forum at the moment).

My thought is to try the Arial for a week or two then to have a vote on it. So those who don't like it, give it a week or so and then we'll all see if it's good or bad.

    Makes no difference to me, so long as the print isn't too small!

    Arial is my favourite font.

    Three fonts walked into a bar.

    Oh 'eck, I find that a bit small and a strain to read.

    Verdana is my favourite font, so it gets my vote for next week's poll.

    Ariel is the font we had to use at work although it had to be 11pt or above, meant to be clearest to read or summat
