Many of you old fogies have expressed concerns about the small font on the site. Well, this has now bee remedied for the most part.

Simply go down to the bottom of the page and select Afterdark-VBP354+ as your default style. The attached image shows where to do this.
 
Jorge,
Still only working in some forums for me as noted in my previous post in Site/Layout changes: Feedback forum. It's O.K. here though.
 
Even with the "+" skin, the small font does show up in some places, such as in hyperlinks, but only when you hover the mouse over the link - it looks awkward because half the text jumps when the text changes size. But it's way better already than it was!
 
Jorge,
I like the choice of fonts; I am currently using the larger one. I also like the way the page centers on my screen, side-to-side. Since I take up part of the left side of the screen with "Bookmarks", in the past I had to keep using the slider to center up.
Keep up the good work.

I quite like the small font in the hyperlinks. It makes them much easier to see.

Is there a mid-point between the small font and this one (maybe it's just the change..but is this font bigger than it used to be?)

Jorge,

I'm an Optometrist. I can help you with that little inconvenience. I too am in Portland. Send me a PM and we can talk.

P.S. the font fix worked. Thank you

I have Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windoze, and the selection doesn't do anything, nor does it "stick" when you navigate to another page.

Try changing it in your user options and saving it there. That worked for me.
 
I added one more style Afterdark-VBP354++ for those who use bottle bottoms for glasses.
 
Actually I went back to the VBP354 layout. Even the VBP354+'s font is one or two points too large. Gotta suck being a site owner..impossible to please everyone 🙂
 
Hi Joe,
I have been using the + version no problem. It is the versions other than the various afterdark ones that Jorge was warning against. Interesting things happen. 😉
