Thanks for your patience

[Tech]

We were offline there for about 20 minutes while we did some updates to the server. Sorry about that - sometimes there's no way around it.... thanks for your patience.

While you're up, Tech, any chance you could zap the tosser who's got two threads going asking to buy our used tights?

[BOF]

Has the font changed? It all looks a bit different tome.

[Tech]

Hi BOF I don't think so - it shouldn't have. Starting a thread works slightly differently so you might see a little popup gizmo, but otherwise it should work same as before.

[Tech]

But now you mention it it looks to me like there's a bit more of a margin on posts maybe? Like they are indented from the left a bit more? Or were they alwys like that? (This on desktop.) One for the day crew to look at. I'm off to me bed shortly....

[DaleyBump]

Seems fine on my phone, loving the option to use a different nickname. Great idea, it's such a hassle trying to change it on a phone. Cheers tech!

[Ledkr]

I like that option too and it does look slightly different to me.

[FruOla]

The font seems the same, but the spacing looks slightly different.

[WayHarshTai]

You've bloody changed it! The spacing is all kerflewy and it does THINGS when you post.

[FruOla]

Ah, so the option to use a different nickname only happens if you're on the App? I'm on a PC and don't get that option at all.

I quite like the new spacing!

[SoupDragon]

My first thought this morning was that the font had changed. The spacing is different I think - maybe that's made it look different.

[Slainte]

Font looks like it's changed to me too.

[RustyBear]

I've been thinking the font was different - went so far as to look for a screenshot I'd taken previously to compare. My eyes aren't at their best at this time of the morning, but something does look different - I think it must be the spacing too.

[SoupDragon]

I think the line spacing is bigger, there is a bigger gap between the post and the blue bar above and below it and perhaps more margin at the edges.

[Tee2072]

Yes. The leading has changed for sure.

I want add a file option on the desktop version! ::throws strop::

Sorry, haven't had yet.

[YoniBottsBumgina]

I think it's the spacing too - the line spacing deffo, there's a bigger margin, possibly the leading also as Tee says, and the whole effect is making the font look different - more rounded and slightly squashed/stretched sideways.

I don't like it ( It looks nursery schoolish.

If you want a comparison, the text in the sidebar (Recipe of the week, find your local site) is as close as it used to be.

[YoniBottsBumgina]

Oh and that was weird, got a popup for a split second when I clicked "Post Message" but then it went away again before I could even see what it said.

[MinesAPintOfTea]

There's more spacing between the lines and the font might be a size bigger (although that could be an illusion due to the line spacing).

[TheFallenNinja]

Aesthetic changes are never well received.

[SoupDragon]

I think it looks fine - no complaints from me :) I just noticed it immediately.

[RustyBear]

I don't mind it at all either - I just needed confirmation that it wasn't my eyes...

[NoComet]

What does choose file do?

[Pascha]

It looks ok but I don't like the font. I can live with it though. Don't like the op being so pale on the phone. I would prefer it a strong colour. Hot pink maybe?

[MinesAPintOfTea]

It would be better if the whole site was the same, but I presume that's a work in progress.

[SoupDragon]

I reckon the spacing has gone from single to 1.5. It's not double spaced.

I actually think I prefer it.
