| I agree! How about a serif font, not bold and in black. My eyes are burning! | |

| I agree with you. The bright blue letters against a white background is really tough on the eyes. Pick up any book printed in the last hundred years and I doubt you'll find that many printed in this color combo. I hope the "Talkin' Broadway" people are reading these posts. If enough of us complain maybe they will go back to good old black and white. The rest of the new format is fine. | |

| From a thread just a couple below this one: "We already have plans to make the index page subject line text less bold and the message text a font/size that is easier to read." THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT. Maybe everyone could just stop asking/demanding? It's going to get done. If you need to just not visit the site until it's done, then maybe that's the best option for you. | |

| If you read between the lines, it is not really the font size that is bothering folk but the font choice and leading that makes the text hard to read. People may say it is the font size because they do not know much about type. And if you increase the screen size as you suggest, the same clarity remains--but it is just bigger. | |

| Exactly, the choice of a sans-serif font for all the text was misguided, IMO. While there will always be different opinions, it's pretty well established that a font with serifs, like Times New Roman, is much easier to read for paragraphs. Also, the font used here is particularly bad on the front page because it's so thick/bold. Hopefully feedback is incorporated into any changes. | |

| I just want to say that I really admire all the work you're pouring into updating and refining the chat website. I'm enjoying the "new look" very much! I understand that some people may be having issues with colors and font size, but, overall, I think it's a TREMENDOUS improvement! Props to all of those involved looking to make the site still better! | |

| Font is much smaller and harder to read. Blue headings are also hard to read. | |

| Ew.com is impossible to use now since it has so much download ads and content on the page that it takes a minute until page is released for scrolling. Very frustrating to the point of unusable. I feared the same would happen here, but it hasn't. I imagine some of the changes are security features behind the scene that we don't know. Most websites have had to do it because of the increase in hacking. | |

| It's a kinder and gentler palette and font for me. Ah, we are all different, aren't we? | |

| The posting list is certainly better for mobile device usage. It would be great if the item could turn to the black font after reading so U could more easily remember where you left off. But the box I am typing in right now is so thin it's like typing in an excel column - two words max. That should be easily fixed. I am using an I phone 6s on the latest version of op sys | |

| It is not too difficult for a web designer to have a version made for mobile devices and another for desktop. | |
