Question Puny tiny small minuscule fonts?

Uhh... is it just me (but I don't think it is, I tested it in four different browsers -- IE, Firefox, Chrome and Edge), or did the font for a number of page elements, like the thread listings, get Very very very small with the last update?

Everything seems fine on my end.

EDIT: I take that back. Had some old CSS still. I hard-reloaded and now things do look a bit smaller than ideal in the listings, yes.

It's not just you, they've shrunk for me too.

I thought my eyes were just getting old. Is there any way we can reverse this?

I've got people's avatars smack in the middle of the column, and am having a bit of trouble clicking on things.

What ever you just did fixed it.

Circular avatars? Interesting.

I think I like the circular avatars, but they're showing up for me much larger than they were before and they look pixelated. Also, Kettlekorn's is in an oval rather than a circle.

EDIT: It's probably worth noting that I read this site on 125% magnification, because otherwise the text is too small. So the avatars are probably appearing larger to me than to everyone else.

Yep, look much better now. And hooray for preserving custom changes!

I like the round avatars, but then my avatar pic is round. Although Sir Lee's appears to be oval, as does another.

Have to say, I'm liking the new look. Lots of subtle changes that just make everything pop a bit more, at least to my eyes. I particularly like the larger avatar pics.

Yeah. It uses circles for square images and horizontal or vertical ovals for rectangular images. So it's marginally less shapist than most mainstream websites with their rigid insistence on circles.

I rather like the new, larger avatars. But I wonder if the maximum dimensions for the avatar images have changed? Anyway, I have been getting used to tailoring avatar pictures for circles -- it seems to be the new fad: Android Contacts/Google Whatever, Windows, Skype, WhatsApp... the elliptical avatars here are an interesting take on the idea.

EDIT: Just tested -- updated my avatar with a square, 875x875px version. Forum avatars now are round, so they updated too. I think the forum software shrinks the image to fit in a 200x200 square -- it's the size shown on the profile page. But for some reason, the little picture on the right of the menu bar, the one where you can set your own status, still shows a bit unfocused, like it was working from a much lower resolution image. I remember back in the early days of the site we had to set up profiles in two different places... I wonder if that's still the case?

Also, (I have never noticed this before, but then I'm a bit distracted), If I open the "online status" dropdown menu on the forum menu bar and change status, I get a message saying that the status was saved, the circle around my picture changes color... but it still says "offline" underneath the picture, both there and on the forum thread. But other people show up with other status, such as "Away", so it's not really broken. I wonder what I'm doing wrong?
