I did tone it down. @saintbletch cannot, sadly.

@bollocks

At least the dickhead icons are back

We’ll try to suss out if there’s an easy fix for Chrome mobile. If not, we can always consider alternatives.

Like saying sorry for fucking it all up?

You’ve lost nothing @cobham-saint

You just haven’t gained. Get on a real computer like a @btripz and join in the fun.

To be fair, I’m usually pretty bald at singles’ discos at any time.

Seriously dude, we live in a post-tagging age. If you’d have mentioned @coxford_lou , she’d probably be further up the running for an award somewhere down the line, as might you be. As it is, the **stalker ** award will lay largely unclaimed. I exclude myself from many gongs, for obvious reasons.

Oh dear… This monstrosity of a ā€˜design’ and ā€˜font’ change is what happens when drunk people think they are designers… It’s a common urban myth that anyone can ā€˜design’… It’s shit.

Of course in the grand scheme of life it matters not, but it is offensive to my eye and this vexes me. Please, can someone with some taste and design expertise, sort it out. Don’t leave forum design to chance or someone who allegedly has a dodgy choice in fashion… I have been offended enough by the latest Trumpcunt shenanigans, please don’t make my day worse with this hideousness… :lou_facepalm_2:

Arf. The design changes were incredibly minor taking in consideration of the existing aesthetic. I deliberately went for a Sans Serif font, but wanted one that was subtly different and was nice to type with. I think it hits that brief. The site has not been usurped by Comic Sans.

As always, I’m not precious about anything, particularly design, but then @coxford_lou is correct. You’re ungrateful arseholes. Change can often seem painful, @areloa-grandee / @areloa-grandee / @areloa-grandee . You of all posters know that.

My head’s more than straight on this one, skip. It has been I analysed the deficiencies of other forums and tried to get around them.

Thanks to everyone that’s got involved in the mentioning today, especially my put upon forum wife @saintbletch . This is a total @unionhotel trick as well. He’s the sort of man to come back from an unannounced fishing expedition with a shitload of fish, and say ā€œwe’re having fishā€.

As an alternative for Chrome peeps on Mobile, would people be happy with a solution where you put @ā€œSomeones usernameā€ a as a stopgap? I can pick that sort of thing up easily, and can even allow you to call people names and stuff.

Midlife crisis and the sad attempt to ā€˜be with the kids’ - tagging shit, dodgy bold font… To paraphrase an Australian General " are we not entertained with this hideous bold font? ."

Change can indeed be painful, but is usually accepted when it is necessary… Nothing done with font or ā€˜tags’ has been remotely necessary… I suspect I am not alone in this feeling, but the forum lives in fear of the evil twins and their shit font ways… The new bold font could be Paps Mexican wall … No one wants it, it’s not necessary and we will have to pay for it… Next stop Ā£5? :lou_lol:
