My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
Apologies, anyone know? My forum page on screen has suddenly reduced in size the past 12 Hr's, with either a different and/or smaller font
Is it my laptop or has the forum screen changed? (Nb. No other sites appear to have changed)

Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
Yup, same here using an iPad Air. Did have a quick look in my user control panel settings (without success) to see if font/size was configurable.

And me. Assumed that the cat had wandered across the keyboard again.
Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
Good to know, thought either myself or laptop had failed again!
Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
Yes, the forum's themes changed yesterday.
I suggest using the Forum Update Issues thread:

Me too. Only superficial change, fortunately. Unlike Retrobike forum that is vastly different and not for the better, either.
One improvement here is that I can now click on the private messages tab without having to rotate my screen. A tiny issue, I’ll admit, but it was rather annoying!

I don’t like the changes. Font is awful and, previously, I could keep track of threads I’d contributed to but that option has disappeared.

Yep the new font is awful.
Unfortunately 'puters are infected with a 'lets just have a fiddle around' virus. As a signed up 'why can't you just leave things alone' traditionalist this drives me mad.
I guess the logic goes like this:
Why fix things with a 1 line change of code when you can submit 1000 lines instead with 999 of those lines breaking something else!

Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
Agree. It was absolutely fine before.
The font is too small and awful, the layout fiddly, and it does seem change for changes sake.
I don’t use a PC to read and post on this forum but an older iPhone and the new layout is an utter pain.

Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
One thing here is that Admin posted a thread explaining what was happening and why.
We've had several users who seem to have missed that and the other threads where problems have been raised and dealt with pretty quickly.

Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
I think the font is an error. I can't really be bothered to trace it through, but when I looked yesterday it was something called 'Lucinda Grande'; previously it was something else, now it appears to be set to 'Helvetica Neue'.
I believe that the forum software has some default, which CUK had overriden, and the upgrade to the new version has somehow changed that back to something resembling the default from the factory.
It should be traced through in the various style sheets by the technical person and restored to what it was before.

Have a look at the little spanner at the bottom of the page. I think that is what you want.markjohnobrien wrote: ↑4 Apr 2021, 9:31am I don’t like the changes. Font is awful and, previously, I could keep track of threads I’d contributed to but that option has disappeared.
Re: My laptop, or has the forum typecast changed?
No, that is the half where you set them up, but there used to be an alert in the top bar which told you of notifications of new replies. There is now no point using the spanner to subscribe to topics because the notifications alert has gone.simonhill wrote: ↑4 Apr 2021, 10:54amHave a look at the little spanner at the bottom of the page.

Before the upgrade, there was a web notification option. Emailing on every reply is too noisy unless it is a special topic.
