I was wandering if you could change the Today feature's font to regular type like the rest of the board and to a lighter background. My eyes are getting older.

Want to thank you for all the work you've put in on this project. It's really running great. No wonder it is so popular.

thanks

Jim

Anyone else think this is a good idea? If I get some other people saying they would like it changed, I will. It's a good idea though.

Agree to a lighter background such as a light yellow for contrast. Also, change the type font to what this is plus 1 step bigger. ... felix

GM (that's Gunload Master fer short, doncha know), I'm not 'anyone else' and I'm not sure I've ever seen that handle on this board. But, I'd like a more eye friendly font. AND just a tad bigger, too. Awright, the rest of y'all ole geezers shut yer pie holes 'bout "what'sa'matta, kain't cha see the screen?"

Well, no I can't, thank you very much. Can't see the screen that well, and I'm a programmer. Man, it really sucks sometimes! How's that for an excuse? And I've already been into 'View', 'Text Size', 'Larger Text'. Sometimes it's a wonder how I even get a round on paper any more.... Years ago (that's ONLY A FEW years ago) when I was on my High School Rifle Team (boy, don't that make the freakin' libs wet all over themselves (self-rightous bastards)!), I swear I could sometimes see the white lines separating scoring rings in the bull if the light was just right on the indoor range. I used to sight in off hand, too. Not any more. My hearing used to be alot 'mo betta', too. sundog

I have to agree,as the day grows longer my eyesight grows weaker. A larger font and skipping the italics would be a blessing.
Thanks again...It certainly is nice to have the options and the resources to change it as opposed to having no options like in the past.

I've jacked up the font overall on the forum and I think I made the "Today" page better? As far as the background goes on the Today page.. It will probably stay the same as it is right now..

If you notice, GM was born in '81. Figure his night vision will go in about two years.

Seriously, good work, GM.

Thank you, thank you. What was that you said, Waksupi, when the old board went to 60 - 80 posts from 20. The regular font on the Today feature is a pleasure to read.

...'till we meet again

A great improvement. I can live with the light blue background, now that the print is readable. Thanks!

I toned it down just a notch. Hope everyone likes it.

Great changes-maybe I can preserve a little eyesight for peering at fresh cast boolits.
