With the new narrow forum (which I like), sometimes a single posting of a few sentences fills up most of the screen because at the bottom of the posting is a very large image in the signature. This requires more scrolling than ideal to read all the postings in a topic. Sometimes 90% or more of the space allocated to a single posting is taken up by the signature (text + image).

Thanks.

2. The "no links and images until 7 days after 10 posts" policy doesn't seem to be enforced. Specifically, I was able to post links after making 10 posts and being a member for 7 days. Not complaining, but I do want your policies to work as you choose.

3. I can't attach .se1 files to posts. Is this an intentional restriction?

4. This is an existing site issue and not a new forum issue so I'd be happy to redirect this to the correct forum, but the homepage of the site is autoplaying twitch streams with sound. I don't think anybody likes autoplaying videos, but to add insult to injury the video is at the very bottom of the page.

Wow, I completely agree with this. The old font was much better. This makes reading the forum a real headache, literally.

The font for the main text of each post is exactly the same in type and size as far as I can see. You may prefer the "wide" forum option, or use the control-mousewheel to zoom in to where it's more comfortable size-wise, but the new forum did not change the font size.

The old version was fine.
The Slitherine forum is fine.
The present format here I find difficult to read and it causes me eye strain after a few minutes of looking at it. Am not really sure why because I don't have the old version to compare, but the combination of the text and the colour scheme doesn't work for me at all.
