New font pretty much unreadable for anyone with poor eyesight

The new font on these boards is so thin and so faint that I must enlarge it to the maximum and then can still barely read it.  I have failing eyesight and this does not work for anyone in my situation.  I can maximize the size, then select all the text in a post, make it boldface, and read it fairly well -- but I doubt I'll go to that much trouble.

 

Too bad that readability took second fiddle to fashion in selecting a default font for these boards..

Wow, that's a good catch! Thanks for letting me know.


The tabs were Khoros logo again last night but they seem to be back to eBay's logo now..

**Fingers crossed** they stay that way..

Tabs have displayed the Khoros logo for me the last day or two. I wonder if that's a permanent change?

I don't know, I would think eBay would want their logo as I'm sure they pay for the service but that's above my paygrade. LOL

Mine are back to eBay's logo in Chrome today- so it's musical logos.

Of course, as soon as I post about it, mine's back to the eBay logo again, too. Sheesh.

We released an update that fixed the favicon (eBay logo showing in the tab). Hopefully this issue is behind us now, but if not, please feel free to tag me.

Hi @dhbookds!

 

I've tried from my end and I'm fairly certain what you may be seeing is browser related. 

 

Are you seeing the same thing when using Chrome? Is your Firefox browser up to date? Just checking the basics. 

 

Thanks!

 

Tyler,
eBay
