Why is everything now in a teensy tiny Times looking font that's difficult to read and makes it look like the site was made in GeoCities twenty years ago by someone who never changed the default settings? I know there's an association with old-style serifed typefaces and classiness, but in terms of legibility and graphic style we should really be using a wider, sans-serif modern font for the forum. I mean, our banner isn't done up like the 19th century so why are our posts? What was wrong with Arial or Helvetica or whatever it was before?

Agreed. Times New Roman? Please no.

Helvetica only.

If it was, like a legible size of Times, maybe. No scratch that. No serifs online, please! In print it's classy, on a monitor, especially at 8 point or whatever this is, it's just ugly.

If I had a screen resolution of 640x480, the font might have been passable. But on my monitor which is set at 1360x768, it looks ridiculously tiny. Please change the font and make it bigger. In fact, make it bigger than the last one. The font was always a bit too tiny for my tastes.
