Excellent feedback so far m'luds'n'ladies.
I hear the negative stuff some of you have been saying about the new Georgia font. But I don't want to ditch it just yet. I think the size of the font was too small, making it somethimes difficult to read / unattractive. So I have just increased the size of the fonts on the discussion board (while keeping it as Georgia).
So... What are the thoughts on the larger sized fonts? What's preference: smaller fonts (as before) or the bigger ones now on the board?

Many, many times. So what do you think of:
a) the font
b) the home page re-design
That does be what I'm interested in now.

The new size for the new font is a big improvement over the old size for the new font but no better than the old font!
So now I'm pretty indifferent on the font front.

Yep, the new size does seem to have improved things greatly. Twas probably my failing eyesight with old age that was causing the lower size font to trouble me.

font definately looks better now its been resized and the homepage seems much neater and easier to find your way with the new frames.
course the bigger font also means its harder to disguise the fact youre on a message board while in work.

Very good point Kavo...the perils of peeking into the forum during work, I always minimise the page and hide in the corner of the screen, then type frantically, my boss thinks I'm working very hard whereas I'm probably just furiously replying to some Cluaser who thinks the Flaming Lips are 'boring' or whether the last Explosions in the Sky album is better than their debut, and so on........but getting back to the point-Please get rid of the blue, please Eoghan? |

Is it just me, or is the font bigger on the last page than on this one?

Excellent - an expert! Please enlighten as to why the Georgia font is "terrible". What would your professional recommendation be? And if you have a font in to recommend, why do you suggest it over others? I am but a novice in the font world. So spread the knowledge Mr. Flem.

Font? how about "Comic Sans"? *runs*
(if you don't hear from me again, I've probably been stabbed with a pencil by a graphic designer or something)

i think you should get rid of the 'last updated on...' bit. fool people into thinking it's updated everyday.
oh, and try wingdings. postmodern.

White on blue never works terribly well from a design point of view, and if your monitor is subject to any form of glare text can become unreadable in those colours.
Agreed with previous that the font used is meant for print, not computer screens.
Site utilising fonts like this, http://www.neumu.com/, look more professional and are easier to read

The text font is a bad chioce, makes everything harder on the eye. I dunno, i just get a really bad headache looking at cluas now, everything just seems all over the place and messy
As for the home page, i think there is too much on it

Curious observation, as there is actually a good bit less on the home page now then there was before (email login removed, number of album and gig reviews listed has been reduced from 9 to 7, number of discussion topics highlighted reduced from 5 to 4, to quote a few examples). What has happened however is that more of what is on the home page is vislbe immedaitely WITHOUT THE NEED OF HAVING TO SCROLL DOWN.
Anyway the whole font thing is up for grabs. All feedback is being well noted. In due course expect more chnages, for the better.
