Current web design trends seem to be gravitating towards larger sized text. About 12px is pretty readable. Some fonts seem to scale better in multiples of 4. I find the font size here about right.

Is this because of the ever increasing resolution on new screens? Mark

I've just switched back to my old theme. I've lost the cool logo, but the colours are better. Prosilver FTW.

I quite like the new theme. A few niggles that have already been raised though:
- Too much space between the new logo and the start of the rest of the page. If it could be moved up then more of the actual forum would fit on screen.
- I'm not bothered about the content of the title bar for each post just don't think the colour (white) fits in well with the rest of the thread/post. If it was the same colour as the post then that would be better IMHO.
- I never use the title link in title bar but it doesn't bother me either way. Perhaps it could be a little smaller.
- I quite like the avatars on the left.
On the whole a great job folks. I look forward to the continuing evolution of the forum.

Invert the colour of the new logo (screen dump into paint). I like it. Might have to make it my avatar.

I like either 8pt or 10pt text (at the most) on most websites...

If you could just insert a smaller version of the x404 logo into the subsilver theme it'd be perfect for my old-skool eyes.

Wow, my internet stopped working at home and this is my first time back since last Friday, thought I'd pressed the wrong bookmark! Looking good, well done to all of you who have helped. How are we doing on the main site? Mac users press ctrl+option+command+8 to invert whole screen, press same sequence to change it back. Yeah, does look good
