1) I'd like to say that the overall functionally and stability of these forums are great. I'd like to praise any and all who where involved, thak you so much. The forums are an awesome aspect to D&D and the last forum was just so unstable to be nigh unusable at some points. Well done! Laughing


 


2) That said I currently have two issues with these forums.


A) Readability. Not everyone here has teenage eyes anymore, sometimes the font and coloring of these forums is a bit tough to read for older eyes.


B) The text boxes seem to automatically 'double space' and place huge amounts of spacing before/after quoted matter. 


 


3) If there are easy remedies for these problems please let me know otherwise just some feedback on an overall job well done.


 


Peace,


Necro

If you use firefox, there is a script running around in someones sig (I can't remember the name, I'm sure he'll post it soon if I can find him and edit to indclude his name) that can help fix some of these (colour/font mostly). At this time, there is no built in fix, though they are trying to improve things, as the background colour of the forums used to be pure white and now it's grey (though as this change came before you posted this thread, I'm currious what your having troubles with... is the background still too white? is the font too small? etc?).


 


EDIT: Nifft's Signiture has a link in it to help you out... here's a post by Nifft

For the size issue, I use Control+ to get things big enough for my 40-year-old eyes.

For the spacing issue, I format my own text using standard html.Rather than hitting enter, I use the {p} or {br} commands, depending on whether I want an empty line or not, respectively.

Workarounds, to be sure, and ones that should not be necessary. But they work for me for now until the powers that be fix it for me.

They took the grey out of the background, so we are once again stuck with all of this black on white stuff.


It took them two weeks to fix the black on white issue in the first place, come back next year when they have made some progress.

Whatever. I guess if you want to spend all your time looking for things to compalin about, that's your prerogative.

Not sure what you're talking about. Looks gray to me. Maybe it depends on the skin?

Ok, I turned off stlish and went through and re-selected the D&D theme. Still got a white background for posts. The odd thing is that some quotes from the time with the other background have stayed that way, but the rest are white.

The gray background disappeared for a while on my end and reappeared yesterday.
