The Forum Font

I'm not liking it either, sorry. I tried to change the settings in IE but it just made the ad fonts bigger.

Finding it hard to read too

If I remember well (I think my brother who's a web designer told me, but correct me if I'm wrong), Verdana is a font that was created to be used on the web, as it is easy to read it on-screen.

Other more traditional fonts such as Arial were created longer ago to be used in paper (i.e. space saving) so it makes them harder to read when on-screen as they are more compressed.

Me, in particular, I prefer the verdana font we had as it's easier to read


The banners on the right side of the forum also bother me as I was used to have the full screen showing the threads, now I have to concentrate on the left side of the page only!

anyone else bothered with the eyes straying to the busy banners on the right? Or just winging me?

I much prefer Verdana but i will see how i feel in a week when ive had chance to get used to it.

Arial is my favourite font.

Three fonts walked into a bar.

That joke is a lot funnier after a few sherries

Indeed Verdana is much better that Arial for screen type.

I haven't actually noticed any difference

They've either changed it back or the drink is affecting my eyes
