Hi, is there a way to customize the font, etc. to our own preferences?

The new web template is hard to read when I access the site on my phone.

Thx in advance.

Not to mention that there are a couple of VERY important functions that have been turned into icons -  showing new posts in threads that one follows and showing all new posts since last login... For the Mods, this can be crucial because it lets us catch any newbie posts quickly before they get lost in the pages.....

Later - OK, I have been on the Forums for an hour on a PC now and I can say without reservation that a Serifed Font is the absolute WORST for reading long term from a screen... It is great on paper but on a screen it is abysmal.

Is it just me?  This font is making me cross eyed. 🤪
Also, the font size of the quotes is the size of a sand grain on my iPad...

Uhmmmmm .... I don't think it IS a "problem" per se.  There has been a new CMS (Content Management System) template applied to the site that has rearranged things and changed the fonts, turned text links into icons (It took me about an hour to figure out that the three little icons next to my screen name were to show my profile, to show all new posts since my last visit and to show new replies to my posts... )

OK, I've just proved it too... I changed the font via BBS command to Verdana here in this post and it shows up correctly... It seems that the default is now TNR and that is a miserable fnt for a web site...

Well, your font is so much more user-friendly.  Got my eyes sorted!
Since I don’t understand (OK, I don’t want to try) all the technical side of the site, I hope someone steps in changes the psychedelic font and the jarring colours soon.  Is it just me taken aback by the background colours???

Finding it extremely difficult to navigate and everything seems 'off'... ???

I can't see the unread topics either...

On the phone, it is practically impossible to read.

I’m just not understanding any of this!

I found the old site easy to use! I know I’m stressed but this site change has really upset me today

I don’t understand anything, how to use the site or what anyone is talking about!

I’m a real technophobe and come here for help and advice not to get so stressed that I can’t even do anything!

Why has this been made so hard to use and understand!
😔
