I've reset the default theme to use our basic configuration.  The theme update will take a few more hours.

Was there a problem?

 

Can you choose a larger font size?  This one is pretty tiny.  Smaller than it used to be, I think.

No problems, just updates.  For font size, check your browser zoom settings.

Just saying the update made the font smaller.  Leave it that way if you want it just makes the site less enjoyable.

Other web sites are fine.  They'd be too big if I changed my browser settings.

Edited May 1, 20204 yr by Zed Head

I'm not seeing a font change in the release notes.  Can you try a different browser and post me a screenshot?

I notice that the page content is not full width.  Maybe that's the difference.  It's not "demagnified" either.  I can make it look right with CTRL + .  CTRL 0 , back to default, leaves it narrow.

It's just different now and will be harder to read for everyone.  Highlight this picture below and you'll see wide margins.

Just trying to give constructive feedback.

Ah, that's because I have a fixed width set to the theme.  Let me try to change it to dynamic width (scalable depending on your browser size) to see if that makes a difference.  Give me a few minutes and you can try again.

 

Ok done.  But, this shouldn't change the font size.  You may have a specific setting in your browser for that part.

Just as an FYI, the default theme I was using before (with the graphics and welcome screen at the top) will come back after I'm done updating it.  The theme change may be what you are experiencing.  You can try changing the theme at the bottom of the page to see if this makes a difference.  I've already done the update, but, there's still some work to do with the graphics and it will be coming back within the hour.

what was `

• Blew Lindy's mind.`

Does the site support markdown? `hello`

That's better.  Everything on the screen gets bigger, so the letters get bigger too, no matter what number they have assigned to them.

It's better now, thanks.
