Was the font changed on this forum? It looks different.

Or am I just imagining things?

Yes, and made larger. Plus we are continually trying to move items up so that you do not need to scroll down so far. Have you noticed that?

Do you like the font?

whoops, disregard that PM. I guess I should look first.
I don't like the font or size at all. is this something that can be made user definable?

This is why we changed the font:

Before:, it was size 11 pt, with a mix of 3 different types of fonts which made it look like 3 different sizes, site wide. (which is not the correct way to do things. but it was done that way by the previous admin, as he added modules, he never set the fonts correctly).

So we went with one font site wide and in the forum posts we made it size 12, which is a little bigger than it was before.

Now Reebok, I understand you do not like it Sad

I can make a "reebok theme" just for you. Smile

Just send me you specs.

haha, that's ok, I'm just one of those people who don't like change. I'll get used to it.

I love the font. It looks just like the one I use at work. I use Verdana. Is this what the font is?

Hi Dan,

I have a question about the stars beside people's names. It was cute to see Shamrocks the other day. What do those stars mean? I used to have 5 stars, and I thought I was hot stuff at that time. But my stars have been taken away. I went down to 3 which made me feel very low on the totem pole. Now though, I'm back at 4, which brings a smile back to my face.

All nonsense aside - I'm just curious. Rolling Eyes

Basically, just the total number of your postings. No other algo is involved. A few weeks back, i adjusted the number of posts required to reflect the sites current traffic. They had been set very low, from the early days.

The problem was, members were getting 5 stars prior to even having dial-tone.
