Font Change

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

I haven't seen a post/thread about this, but have the fonts on the boards.cannabis.com page and in the lounge changed? They seem bigger and just very different.

When anything gets change don here, however minor it is, it takes me a while to get used to the look of it lol.
I like the new smileys and fonts and stuff, Ron.. Thanks :thumbsup:

Same here man, i was like "wtf, why is the font so big and different?!" and then realised there were new smileys in my first post of today and thought "ahh, Ron must have had a mess about:D" so it's all good

..Josh :thumbsup:

[beachguy in thongs]

I was here last nght when they had the new smileys, I was like "cool".
Today, I thought all the marijuana in my system had finally given me "super-vision".

This makes all the long posts, a lot, easier to read. Especially, when your eyes fuck up, like mine.

[beachguy in thongs]

^ E.g.: My eyes fucked up during the typing of that last post.
I thought I wrote something that made sense.

I think it's pretty fucking annoying if you ask me. The whole point was to allow for scalable fonts but now I feel like every time I visit here my head is being forced into a large print dictionary. Not fun.

And yes, you can change the font size yourself now. Yippie. Unfortunately it makes the tiny fonts almost unreadable since it takes clicking decrease about 3 times for the main font to go back to normal. And then when you close this site you have the joy of clicking increase another 3 times for the rest of the internet to be readable. I guess Ron thought we had too much time on our hands.

I have a hell of a lot of time on my hands.. half term now, so i have no college for a week.. :stoned:

Also, i don't think it makes much difference, i know i won't bother changing the font size all the time. I'll just read it as it is :rasta:

[lemonboy]

A lot less text appears per screen now. Also, the font size has been increased but the padding, margins, and line-height have not been touched. So the font may be bigger but everything is still crammed into small boxes. As I type this now my font is set to normal and out of the corner of my eye I can't help but notice the "Forum Jump" label can't be more than 4 or 5px tall. On purpose though, I'm sure. :rolleyes:

I have a 21" monitor @ 1600x1200. I realize resolutions are getting bigger these days I just didn't realize it was happening so fast. Should I run out and get a 67" LCD so I can read a couple sentences without having to scroll?

Ahh yeah, i see what you're saying.

Damn, 21" monitor, with my old comp i had a 14" monitor, now i have a 17" tft flat screen (all Dell, new pc and all shit is Dell lol) and when it came i was like "damn, this screen is big!" as it was such a difference, and now when i look at the screen on my old computer (to delete shit) it looks so damn tiny! :dance:

:thumbsup: :rasta: :pimp: :stoned:
yes

[likemclever]

I came in fucked up last night .....and I thought it was just me.

Oh well, I like it ....but it is going to take some gitting used to.

[rastabill89]

I dont like it its to big lol but i will get use to it

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

The fonts have changed again ffs, for me anyway after refreshing a page!!

make it small enough how it should be all the rest of the words are tiny, make it 1 step bigger and it's too big, this is strange, either have it too big and bold, or too small to read the links!

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Everything is kinda how it should be, just a little smaller, and the links are all tiny, like peoples names, in case someone wanted to know:) and if i scroll up one click it's much too big:( lol



Ok sorry Ron, it's fixed, well how it was earlier today:D cheers man:p

I completely agree. I like that there's more options for smilies, but with the font, in order for everything to be readable, the main font has to be huge and is in BOLD.

[lemonboy]

It still isn't fixed. It looks the same as it has all day. Broken in every brower I try it with.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Nah, not fixed, all links either tiny or huge again, it was ok-ish how it was this morning, and up until an hour ago!

:)

[lemonboy]

Hehe. Looks like someone is playing with it. Things still look odd but I guess these things take time. I blame vBulletin and their unnecessarily complicated templates and CSS.

[p0t]

the board is high

Yeah man, damn i didn't know any of that lol.

p0t, i think you might be right :rasta:

[lemonboy]

Back to huge and bold. Such a tease.

[Lily420]

I went off last night, came back this morning and was like "Oh my, something's wrong!" then i saw smileys and realised;)

Oh, it's fucked again, since like 2 mins ago lol

[Cannabis.com]

Vbulletin programmers (the software these boards run on) seemingly never took into account user accessibility when implementing CSS.

However we need to. Yes, for many folks, the old size was fine and all, but there are many visitors who had trouble reading the boards before and couldn't adjust the font size adequately - now they can.

What's disturbing to me is that the Vbulletin developers still don't seem to care about accessiblity even after numerous comments over the years - I just checked the newsest v3.5 default CSS and it's still basically all the exact same fixed sizes :(

On an aside, this font issue is among the numerous reasons the Marihemp Network boards (yes, some minor revisions of that software is planned) remains running, and will indefinitely, is that systm meets the needs of many folks and is very accessible ... Vbulletin looks nice, but has a lot of dependencies that make it "fragile" and thus does not always work as expected in some situations.

I've reduced the font size slightly to look more "normal" while hopefully solving the microscopic size font problem that some briefly experienced earlier.

Finally, anyone with suggestions for adjustments we should try with the CSS, please feel free to post them in a reply to the font size thread in the feedback board.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Cool, cheers for clarifying Ron. When there's a problem, we can count on you to give us reasons why :rasta:

Whilst you're here and hopefully reading this thread, I'd like to say:

Thanks for the new smileys Ron :rasta: ... Smoke on homie! :cool:
