I don't see where people aren't being patient.
Someone asked a question when they started this thread.

People are voicing their opinion. Doesn't make them whiners.

The only impatient one is Artie.

I'm not going to make a giant issue out of this change, but it is certainly nowhere near as easy to peruse the threads you want to view on the forum pages. Overall, not a fan, but I'm not going to over react or go away like some others. Puhleese...it's a message board, I don't see this many people upset at our broken government.

Don't like it. It took a while just to figure out how to log in and reply to this thread. My browsing time is very limited, if it stays this way I won't be wasting anymore time here.

I've been bouncung around thee websites I frequent that have the same software as OSO and the only thing I find slightly different is OSO seems to have a slightly lighter font color.

Default Goin' Typo...

Long line lengths are hard to read-
you lose your place during backsweep.
Until they get all the tweaks in,
you could reduce your browser window on desktop to make it easier to read.

Also, serif faces are easier to read at small sizes.
books are printed in serif fonts because the serifs help your eye move more smoothly from one letter to the next.

This is Georgia.

Background colors and default font style color and size should be easily changeable on a global level with a few simple clicks. Its not rocket science.
