New forum font and bold

[DiamondStarFall]

hey guys! noticed the new font/bold for the forum except for the trading forums. imho, the new font/bold doesnt seems to be so user friendly to the eyes or seems a little weird as compared to the past. anyone else shares the same view?

Weird as in font size, bold size or font style?

I kinda agree with DiamondStarFall, it just feels like part of the forum is zoomed in while the rest is zoomed out (font size differences). I'm just not sure about the reasoning behind changing it. It was sort of fine prior to that change. With the thread starter name under the topic and on the side being so tiny also makes it weird.

On another topic, would love to see something done to high rep sellers something to make them stand out and differenciate them from 1 rep sellers.

Maybe we should have a thread where people / sellers throw in ideas and go from there.

The idea was to make the thread titles pop out more as the first thing you see, especially in the trade forums. We will definitely be making some adjustments as I can see the point about it feeling zoomed in.

yea, probably the size of it. the username on the right side is a little small as compared. is the style Times New Roman?

also as another user pointed out in the bawx, i think read threads should be unbold as well since all the threads r bold nw.

It is Droid Sans

I have made a note of the bold on read/unread not working correctly. That is not working right.

Ok we have made some changes today based on feedback:

1. Reduced sized of fonts from 15px to 13.5

2. Fixed bold for all thread titles for read/unread, however I have concerns of about the normal font being too "skinny" so need feedback on that.

3. Increased size of Last Post titles

I tend to like Arial font for titles and Georgia font for text, but that is just my opinion. Changing the thread titles would look a lot better with one of these fonts. This just looks very bad to me:



Here is Georgia font, a fox jumps or something to get all the letters but I don't know what it is abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz.

Here is Arial font, a fox jumps or something to get all the letters but I don't know what it is abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz.

Edit: Also as a point of fact Arial has been determined to give the best reading comprehension in short pieces of writing, while Georgia gives the best in bodies of text and is considered the best for a formal appearance of titles. Generally, serif fonts are best for bodies of text while sans-serif are thought to be best for titles, but you can use either for both. Serif fonts do impart the best memory while reading a body of text and are considered easier to read and maintain place in compared to sans-serif fonts. Kindle uses a font specially developed for e-ink called "Bookerly" that very closely resembles Georgia font. I would heavily recommend the use of a font like Georgia for the majority of the site and, if it is wanted, Arial for titles. As a quick aside, Times New Roman was found to be the least liked font by all people for both physical and digital text, so don't use that, please don't.

I like Arial too, I think it looks very clear, maybe we could try that font out for a couple of days.

support the idea of a change of font. the current one look a little fading for those without bolds

[hackerlol]

It does indeed look bold/zoomed in and like that comic font.
Please revert.

Taking in all of this feedback and we will try/make further changes until we think we got it right.
