Wild Large Font please?

I was also a big fan of the large font skins (getting old and eyesight is slipping) for a while. If you use Firefox, it's not really necessary though. Ctrl+mousewheel should do the trick.

Well tbh, the 'large font' part isn't the most important part to me

We're probably not going to work on creating large font styles in the future, as browsers tend to support changing text size in more ways all the time.

We can work on other types of styles, though. Hopefully one of the differences people notice most is that our ability to switch things around and refine the site is much improved with vB. I think most are going to find a style they like in the initial set, but we'll definitely still take a few popular requests.

Much easier as a mod to split and merge threads.

Here's a screenshot w/ the ported infopop skin. It's not the default anymore, but hopefully it assuage some of you who are scared of change.

Oh, I totally forgot that the latest IE supports font changes.

It uses a different method than FF IIRC. I think it changes the size of everything (not just fonts).

It's actually set to look and work much like the current 2+2 when it comes to posting. In fact many things mentioned as being important to those against change are easier in vB. Posting, quick replies, editing and PMs all have slicker usability. The ajax features involved with some of that are nice.

Give it a try after the switch and let us know what we can improve.

Ryan, don't sweat it. The change is happening Sunday, right? Tell these guys to post again on....say...Tuesday and see if they feel the same way they do now.

vB >>>>>>> UBB
