    Eyestrain from new screen format

    Anyone else getting eyestrain from trying to read the new format? Text is now ridiculously small and thin, and I can't even change it in Firefox Options. How can I make it revert to the old screen format? CB now has the look and feel of inferior forae like Rimfire Central. More eyestrain headaches I do not need an my age.

    No, none at all, the new changes are a improvement.

    I'm having trouble with this new screen, too. Too bright, type too light -- very hard on my eyes. Makes me not want to be here.

    Just my two cents worth.

    Scroll to the very bottom left of the screen, click on the drop-down menu, and select "cb custom". That helped me a bunch.

    Not liking the new format either, to be honest.
    My alloy is so proprietary even I don't know what's in it...

    Thanks, Gear, that worked for me.
    Due to market fluctuations I am no longer buying range scrap jackets.

    You can sure tell there are a bunch of old farts here, We just can't stand change at our age.

    It is irritating but I will get use to it like when my email providers change the format and I have to look all over the place for things.

    I still want to thank all those who are working on getting the bugs out and who innitially set things up. It is a job few of us would have taken on.

    When I click on "REPLY TO THREAD" I have to hit GO ADVANCED before I get the page I am used to but I still have to remember to search for INSTANT E MAIL.

    Will it stay that way or is this just one of those nasty bugs?

    I also like the "custom" look better as well, trouble being that every time I log in I have to go and re set it to that view. Is there a way to have is stay there?

    New Format is not an improvement, it makes my old eyes hurt just looking at it. I much preferred the old format. If it ain't broke, why try to fix it.
