Any chance of making the new standard font smaller?

Hi @Shaun

Any chance of making the new standard font smaller? Like @perplexed says on the Brexit thread, I feel like I've wandered into the large print section of the library when I view the site on my laptop.

Oh and I really missed Cyclechat yesterday so thank you for creating and maintaining the site. I hope the family stuff is going better.

In a similar vein, the headers seem to be a lot bigger than previously? With the forum header and then a topic header (which for me on a kindle seems to be mostly a large block of grey emptyness) it fills approx 90% of the screen in landscape and even in portrait fills over 50% of the view with forum, topic and post headers as these form quite a sizeable stack.
Very difficult to manage when the touch type keyboard also fills the bottom half of the screen when typing.

I'm not moaning, hopefully just giving some constructive feedback on the changes

As others have said, thanks for continuing to support the forum and I hope all is well on the family front.

Oh, I'm loving the fact that I can read CC without my reading glasses now.
Will put the suggestion to Shaun though, thanks @alicat.

@I like Skol you have a point, Shaun is resting now after the 18 hours straight he's worked on the forum yesterday, but the Mods team will relay all feedback, ta.

In preferences there are different styles. It might be possible to have a small font style which avoids another upgrade?

I simply used Zoom Out function.

'Default' style has a smaller font. 'Darker Full Width' has a bigger font. Worth trying all the options to see what suits you.

Even with this size font, i still have to have 175% zoom on a 13" Chromebook screen.

Which style are you using?

Which style are you using?

Standard i guess, i didn't know there was different styles.
I was also using 175% zoom before the upgrade.

Go into your preferences and you'll see a styles list (it's the first item you'll see listed) - some have bigger fonts. Try Darker Full Width.
