Biology?

Nice new look

Need to change the favicon to the new font!

Looks nice on my PC, but unfortunately on my iPad 4 Safari, which is what I use for most of my forum surfing, it's pretty much unreadable

Blue galaxy swoosh is now my own unique avatar!

This sucks... it almost looks like the premier forum for VI instruments now

but the old tacky style is like retro or something? Really though, I haven't used it enough to know if we ended up losing functionality - but it looks nicer and feels more responsive on mobile, ad dollars well spent Mr. Greene!

Can you send a screenshot? What is unreadable?

I like the new look.

The text looks smaller though. Is there any way to customise that?

Yeah, this. Love the new look overall, but the text is significantly smaller (and harder to read) on my phone. We need an "old eyes" setting.

OK guys, I hear you. I'll try to beef up the fonts a bit. I too find I need to zoom in at times. Old eyes setting, I'll work on that tomorrow.

The new one is a modern look. Yet, the older one seemed to me less fatiguing to the eye, very unique with its calming blue, and perhaps fitting more information in the list of messages.

The new one is good, but less unique.

Fresh new look. Very nice! If there is a dark version alternative someday, it would be nice (or at least a darker background image option, like a solid color dark one)

is there the possibility to set a "calming blue" style between "daylight" and "dark-mode"? just for the sake of old members? the modern look is great though!

You should read the thread... darkmode and choice of background colors (top right, slider switch icon to change settings)

Nice job CF! People just need time to adjust.

Jesus christ I should clean my eyes better in the morning. I edited will "solid color" background. I guess I'm going to use some CSS browser app to do that.

Nice new design, but ... “reaction score” ??? Sounds like going to the dermatologist.

How many “reaction scores” you got @chillbot ?

Great forum update! Thanks a lot Mike, really love it. And over here, it´s much more responsive too.

Cheers,
Tom

Cool new look!

Dark mode looks very very nice!

+1 something between the glaring white and the black background choices would be a great option.

Is there a way to change the color of the icon if one doesn't have an avatar? I mean don't get me wrong, I love my D, but I wish it wasn't so feminine looking......
