There is also a "browse by field" jump link at the topMark44 said:

Unread items in the "Alerts" list are no longer quickly distinguishable by background shade from read items, as they differ only very slightly in a shade of something like beige, although they now have a spot on them which I presume is also an indication of unread.

My first reaction was Ewww. I put it back to the old style for myself. Sorry Greg.

How do we get back to the old style?Greg Bernhardt said:

I've done the same. One further comment to add to the ones I've already made: to me the new style looks drab. The old one has some color. The new one is just not as pleasant for me to look at.Borg said:

Ha! I never even knew about user preferences! Thanks!PeterDonis said:

Have people tried night mode? I like that better than the day mode (the same was true with the old style).
Again, it's a setting in preferences to follow your system setting or always use light/dark mode.

No problem! This is why I left the old style. Hopefully I can get it to a state where most are satisfied by the end of the year.

Probably a bug: images don't seem to be scaled to the width of the window any more. I'm looking at the Random Photos thread on mobile, and most of the images are wider than my phone.

Unfortunately I can't stand night mode (or the "dark" as opposed to "light" theme setting), not just for this site, but in general.Ibix said:

One other thing - I had an instance of a "bouncing" window when editing. I've seen this before and I think somebody reported this a while ago and it got fixed, but it's back.
Sometimes (not always), when I'm editing a post, the window starts bouncing - type one character and the whole page jumps somewhere else, type the next and it jumps back, repeat. It happened to me on the Olber's Paradox thread - Peter posted #38 while I was editing #39 and I think that's when it started.
Apologies for the vague report. Perhaps you remember the issue and can fix it. If not, and if it recurs, I'll pay a bit more attention.

Is it impossible (or perhaps too much work) to make people choose their own font?Greg Bernhardt said:
EDIT: At least from a predefined bunch of choices...?
EDIT2: I could implement this on my site, but I'd imagine your site is several thousands lines of code by now.
- 19,943

I think this is due to the editor auto grow. I applied a fix. Let me know if that helps. Keep em coming!Ibix said:

It's not really feasible because element spacing is calibrated off the font attributes and there are resource loading considerations. Let's try to tweak as much as we can with what we have now.sbrothy said:

You know that at least on Windows you can press Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to zoom in and out right?FactChecker said:

It's a good reminder to check your zoom level because often I am at 80%.sbrothy said:

I don't know how to reproduce it so I don't know if you've fixed it, but thanks. I'll let you know if it happens again - hopefully not!Greg Bernhardt said:

It's almost always in the one of the settings options (no matter what browser). It will show you what percentage you're currently at.Greg Bernhardt said:

Suddenly checking in at about mid-day, very different visual style. I am not accustomed to it but other than styling and decorativeness, I am unsure until more experience with this new appearance.

For me, still cannot say if agree or disagree; or like or not like. Only usage and adjustment time for my own reaction.sophiecentaur said:

Change is almost always a little unwelcome. We're creatures of habit. But PF, like any other brand, has to reinvent itself from time to time. Not everyone will like it, let's hope very few will hate it.

The top line of links is good and looks like the previous styling.
Just below that top line of links is a "Latest Activity" listing. I is distracting because we need to scroll to see the complete list of forums or subforums. If possible this "Latest Activity" listing would be better if it is presented in a collapsed but expandable form; so we can more quickly see and find the structure of the main forums and subforums.

I am getting more used to it. One minor request would be to have to forum name bolded so it stands out a bit more on the active posts that proceed the forum name.Greg Bernhardt said:
