Font change?

52 replies

Have you done something to the font today MN?

Mine has suddenly changed for all MN posts (all other sites are fine and unchanged).

Headers/footers and buttons appear the same but the active lists and all of the posts are suddenly showing in a different font.

Mine hasn't changed! Can you get a screenshot?

ZeroFuchsGiven · 15/12/2022 14:57

I was just on my way to start a thread about this. its awful on the eye.

TinFoilHatty · 15/12/2022 14:58

I like the new font.

What I DON'T like is that the button bar has vanished from the bottom of the thread and is allbunchedupatthetopofthethread instead, eeesh!

TeenDivided · 15/12/2022 14:58

It's coming and going for me. A weird glitch.

FuckabethFuckor · 15/12/2022 14:59

It's different but it's subtle. I like it

SpeckledlyHen · 15/12/2022 15:01

Mine has changed also.

Mix of fonts here. Some bold some not.

Another unnecessary tweak imo, like the bar of icons below each post that everyone hated, feedback was clearly given, and ignored.

It’s like they’ve employed someone just to mess around with settings on a daily basis.

Promoted by MN normal font

Others in bold.

Yep, what is the actual point of all this messing with the smallest thing?

So glad I'm not insane!

I hate the new font. Spacing between letters makes it look wonky and the headers are all squashed. Reset to previous, please.

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 15/12/2022 15:33

Mine changed when I clicked on to the next page of a thread I was reading, I thought my eyes had gone all funny!

Your bold looks horrible!

ZeroFuchsGiven · 15/12/2022 15:40

Hi OP

Can we check what device and browser you're using?

greenhousegal · 15/12/2022 15:52

Chrome here. But the font doesn't bother me at all.

AclowncalledAlice · 15/12/2022 15:55

I'm on Chrome...this font is giving me a headache.

nilsmousehammer · 15/12/2022 15:57

Harder to read. Please revert back.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 15/12/2022 15:58

Chrome on windows desktop.

CovertImage · 15/12/2022 15:58

I'm on Firefox and it's making me bog-eyed

Rummikub · 15/12/2022 16:01

Safari iphone
I like it

So much easier to read.

Hi all

We've changed the font because the one we were using was causing performance issues - we're doing a lot of work at the moment to try and improve the speed of the site.

We're working through any issues the change causes for people on different devices, so please do keep posting anything you spot anything that doesn't seem right!
