Thanks

So for you it is now smaller? Strange, for most of the people it had the opposite effect.

If you need larger text, you can easily change it in your profile
Others wanted it smaller

I did noticed the font changes today

I may have to squint a bit (I'm about 60-year-old gentleman with glasses on)

If it is good for you with 95%, what is the problem? Just let it on 95%
It also depends on your screen, browser, etc.
I can't make it too small as many people have problems reading small texts (I can, but for non-latin characters it becomes complicated).

The new font/size seems to be spaced out more, meaning less information fits per line. If I change it to 95% size in profile, it looks like it did before. So why not just leave it the way it was before and let people adjust the size in profile if they want it larger?
The vehicle thumbnails are only a fixed size, so the amount of text that can fit underneath them per line is quite important.

Some elements had no defined size (fonts and size depending on browser settings and operating system), so I just cleaned and fixed everything so it looks similar everywhere. This also allows to change the font size in the profile (for that, the font must be coherent and linked between all elements). Also improving some for mobile use.

What is the problem exactly? Is it just because something changed? If so, after a few days/months you'll get used to it.
Or if there is a particular point, maybe it can be tweaked.

Hi antp, I still prefer the way it was before. Not a big fan of the changes to the fonts and font sizes. Of course things have to change, but was there anything wrong with the 2005 style in the first place?

I applied some changes to the fonts and input/select/buttons, hoping it will be better for everyone (or most).
Again, it is normal that it is slightly different from before, but the idea is to improve some parts, not specially keep the 2005 style forever

You can now specify the zoom in %, in case you want smaller fonts or fine tuning like 95% or 105% rather than the 100/120 option that was hidden behind the checkbox.

If you have issues with fonts/styles, please include a screenshot. If you want to access the old version of the site to compare it in a screenshot, just contact me via private message, I'll provide you a link to an old copy of the site for that.

I dropped Arial from the CSS, it is too ugly. In case you didn't have Verdana installed, you were seeing the site in Arial. If you really liked that, you can still set it as default sans-serif font in your browser, it should then be used for the site.


Beside that, small new feature: limit to 300 post per day per person. I checked since more than one year, nobody was posting more than about 200-240 post per day (and these were already exceptional), with an exception around 270.
This will help avoiding a flooding of spam like what we had one evening some time ago.

If someone ever reaches the limit, just wait midnight CET

It is strange, as on my Firefox they were about the same size. I think that before they were using the default font of the OS (so rather random from one PC to another), but now they use the same font as the rest of the page.
All texts have exactly the same size, plain text and fields.

I'll try to slightly increase the size of the box around the fields to make all a little nicer, but the text of the fields has no reason to be bigger than the rest. Or if you want a bigger text in overall, there is the new option 'Larger text' in the profile. Maybe I'll slightly increase the overall size of everything and put an option to define a custom zoom like for the admin pages.

I'll contact via private message you tomorrow so you can check on an old copy of the site (similar to the test site), if you can make a screen capture, so I can try to understand better what exactly you miss from the old version

I'm using Firefox - they just used to be quite bigger than that
