Is it just me or is the text much smaller now when browsing the boards?
Like when browsing a board all of the topic titles seem to look quite a bit smaller than how they were, but once I'm in a topic then the text size is back to normal.

Hello @Ross1975. There were some minor changes made yesterday which streamlined the 'recent discussions' and 'categories' pages. The font size shouldn't have been changed, have you noticed this anywhere in particular and is it still readable?

This has happened to me too. It's much more difficult to read the main page on the laptop now. Also more difficult to see which threads are unread as the bold isn't as clear with the smaller size.
Thought I'd accidentally pressed a button yesterday so glad to see it isn't just me now.

Hi Adrian_Scope, it seems to be all of the boards/categories, it's still totally readable but I browse this place on my desktop PC with monitor, so I'm not sure if it would still be readable on a smart phone which will obviously have a much smaller screen.
Once I'm actually in a topic then the size of everything is back to normal.
I do prefer how things were, but that's most likely because that's just what I'm used to. I don't actually mind the smaller text size and I'm sure once I'm used to it then I'll prefer it and going back to the larger size would then look a bit weird.

The smaller text size hurts my eyes, you have to strain to read the discussions.

You need to fire whoever does your website design, each time you guys make changes you break an important function of the website (which is an easy code to fix).

I'm with you there I'm struggling and I wear glasses.

Yeah I wear glasses too, and it hurts to read the small text

It's gone back to normal size now, cool!

Hmm, it's different again now, but not better for me at least. The text is still too small on the Recent Discussion page, but is now also too big on the actual thread pages. It's straining my vision in both directions now.
Edit - 13:25 - Seems to be completely back to normal for me now.

Not better for me either Adrian now you've changed BACK TO BIG TYPEFACE - and fewer threads per board so more scrolling…🙄
I can't reduce the size any more and I wear glasses (like that's anything to do with streamlining and text size!). Oh dear.

Adrian, please reconsider!
There are many ways of MAGNIFYING words if someone cannot see well enough. I am short-sighted and don't wear corrective lenses for that. There is nothing I can do to adjust ( minimise ) my eyesight!
Streamlining the boards as you did means less dead space, less scrolling and much less strain on MY eyes!!! Thank you

Do the edit dots not show after you have made your post? @SwiftFox I can edit mine.

Sorry but I have to disagree. When the text is all the same size and all crammed together it's more difficult to read.
Scope need to consider everyone's vision requirements to work out what's best for the majority of users. Not just yours or mine.

Hi everyone,
We truly appreciate your feedback and your patience as we worked through a few issues over the past couple of days.
In the long term, we plan to streamline the “Recent Discussions” and “Categories” pages so they more closely reflect the layout seen yesterday, but it is not our intention to do this suddenly and we want to do it without altering font sizes or accessibility features.
Accessibility is at the forefront of everything we do. While this sometimes means changes take a bit longer to implement, it also ensures that our platform remains readable and easy to use for everyone.
Occasionally, unexpected updates from our platform provider can unintentionally disrupt some of the custom accessibility tools we’ve built, but we are actively working to resolve these issues.
Please be assured that accessibility, readability, and ease of use remain our top priorities when it comes to layout and functionality.
