Forums Question

Postby Evan » Mon Jun 01, 2009 9:54 pm

Hello Forum members!

We upgraded the Forums today to help combat some of the spammers who were posting on a regular basis. It was a constant battle to keep them out and thanks to GT for his regular messages to alert us about them.

Since the update I'm seeing very large fonts on all the posts - the sidebars are fine but the actual forum posts have big fonts. Is it just me? How does it appear to you?

I'm seeing the same thing. I was going to ask about it but I saw this thread first. Something is definitely not right.

I am also seeing very large fonts, and when I logged in last night noticed that all the posts were in duplicate. That seems to have disappeared this morning though.

Hi, all:

I was just drafting a PM to Evan when I realized I should check to see if others have posted about this huge font. I see I am not the only one :lol: - that's good ... (or maybe not!)

So, just letting you know, Evan, that at 11:15 am Mountain Time, June 2, the situation remains the same.

I am pleased that you are trying to make adjustments to ward off the spammers. I encourage forum members and guests to be patient while the huge font issue gets sorted out.

GT :)

I also noticed that the "This Month's Leaders" board isn't updating like it usually does.

Hello:

Thank you for taking care of the font issue, Evan.

I have a question about the font and the forum, though (keep in mind that old saying - I have a good memory, but it's short):

Something "feels" different about the forum. Is it a different font? Or is it set for bold or something?

It looks great! It just feels different.
