Here's the same in FF 3.0.1: normal font. (Using subsilver2)

Well, I guess we will just have to live with it.

Edit: if I set the minimum font size to 10 in FireFox then the message content becomes normal, BUT.... all the other fonts everywhere else becomes very tiny. Now I remember why I set it to 12. But this huge font business is only with this site, all other sites I visit including other online forums do not have this huge font problem.

Oh well, like I said above, I will just live with it.

I like view active topics.

You should make this as default.

Reduce XY image little bit and remove top & bottom spacing in header.

Why avatar functionality is disabled?

If possible remove display of joined time.

You changed Beta Club text to User Forum some time ago in XYplorer homepage. Why don't you change here also?

I've changed my bookmark to use this instead of main index as it gives me new stuff right there!
I do wish there was a similar link at the bottom of typical page, so that I don't have to return to top to access it.

Re: Heading: Yes, that could be reduced a bit to give more screen space to posting area.

Re: Avatars: They were tried once and people didn't like them due to bandwidth and other issue, as I recall.

Re: Time joined: Why? Does it really take up that much space? For working with newest users,it just might prove a bit useful, and it doesn't bother me.

I improved it -- IMO!

The heading is dark enough so that on my screen, the XY site link is hardly visible! It needs to be in another color or something, or backgound needs to be lighter...whatever...it's better that it's narrower!

And...it says "Developers"...are you taking on help? Or are we considered part of that?

Yes, the XY icon in the header looks fat. Can you put it on diet?

The header got a lot more blue, and that now makes the link not really visible. Easy not to see it if you don't know it's there, you should have it if some light yellow or something... or just go back to a light grey, easier on the eyes

Avatars can be disabled in edit display options page.

Don, do you hopefully still have the XY logo GIF that was used for old forum somewhere? And can you you put it someplace that I can access it from your site?
I need it for blog header, because this new one is way too small!

I pull it directly from http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/styles/sub ... e_logo.gif and now don't have the url for old, but that didn't locate it anyway.

Thanks! That looks a lot better in that context! But for some weird reason, Blogger wouldn't accept it directly from that URL so I had to D/L to my system and then point to that (which is then uploaded)...

Actually I like the "Display post order direction" option in user control panel. The latest ones are on first page now and no more browsing to that last page.

Better now! But why is the XY icon so alone like that ?

What do you mean, alone? You want to see two of them? Then I could called XY the Dual-Icon File Manager!
