    I'm fine with the change. I'm just going to minimize the font. Different resolutions (and browsers) will render the page differently.

    How this site was set at yesterday was a lot better than today. The font size is larger and the posts are much narrower and the margins much wider.

    Why do you have to change what was not broken? The format seemed to work for everyone and this format is more user unfriendly.

    While I voted for the size of the Banknote forum I actually preferred the size we had before you changed it. You say the BN forum is set at 5% and this one at 10%. Based on that I would guess the borders/margins were previously about 3%. Maybe 4%, but 3% seems more likely.

    Before the change the border/margin on my screen was about 3/8 of an inch. Now, it is about 1 1/8 inches. And that's just way too big.

    So, I think I found an even better solution to this issue that should make everyone happier. Hold on about five minutes and see. :)

    I like it now!

    Just as a shameless plug...Peter has done a great job with the Sports Card Club forum. I'm over there all the time, if anyone likes cards...check it out.

    I prefer this format, as it is easier to read without my glasses. It also displays images far clearer.

    Depending on your screen, you may or may not see a difference with the changes I've been making. It's nearly impossible to make it nice for every screen size out there, but I think the settings now offer a good compromise.

    I don't know what the margins were before the most recent change but everything looks hunky dory to me.
    I do like new font size. I don't have to tilt my head back anymore. Bifocal wearers will relate. :woot:

    Yep, the smaller font size was one of the most common complaints I've had since we started using this software.

    It's good to hear that Rick. My goal is to make it work for the most people. And, I know there are going to be others who won't like it, just waiting for someone to send me a message telling me how terrible it looks and I've killed Coin Talk for everyone now.
