I agree, but it is what it is.    I quick fix for now.

I got that extension and am using Amiko at font size 20 on the laptop.  It seems to be working OK.  Used the Android phone at lunchtime to get on the forum...very frustrating!  Will have to see if I can improve things on the phone to make it usable.

Can hardly read it on my phone.

 

Yea...on a phone the text is too small.

 

Also, whether on my phone or computer when clicking a thread I'm following it use to take me to the first unread post in that thread....now it takes to post #1/the very beginning then I have to figure out what posts I haven't read yet.

I think it's much better, nice and clear.

Actually, I like the change.  The fonts are significantly clearer and easier to read.  Kudos!

I'm fine with the fonts when using a computer but when viewing on my smartphone the font is significantly smaller than before...too small for comfortable reading unless zooming in a little and then scrolling around to read the posts.   Other websites viewing/reading posts remains fine...it's just ThaiVisa where the font is too small now after the upgrade when using a smartphone.

I think there are some people here working on really old computers and who are inflexible to change. It happens it is needed just adapt. I get it that at a certain age computer things get hard. 

 

I am happy that this new version benefits us with good computers. It was time 4K screens have been normal for quite some time. 

 

Of course there should always be some backward compatibility. But why should people with good equipment held back.

 

Most browsers like chrome you can change font size independently from each site. So its possible to get the font as you want.

 

Too many people just don't want to change or accept it. 

 

I am pretty sure its more then just how it looks security has to be updated too.

I must say i generally like the changes on the computer screen, however for mobile use in chrome, the fonts are too small and my eyesight isnt that bad.

Feels great to read this in a different font and size 17 .   

Font changer  did the job, I do not expect the software developers to improve this forum  anytime soon.

this is a big improvement as the site is more readable and fits on my 32 in. monitor better than ever before,  Clearer and no popups as well, thank you thai visa staff.

Take a look at the font size on your smartphone with it's approx 6 inch display....the font is now significantly smaller than before...too small.  Before the upgrade it was fine...now too small....now I expect many people will need to zoom in and then scroll left-right to read most posts comfortably.

Removed off-topic posts and the replies to them.

 

Last time I looked, the topic title was about a change in the font and not about everything else under the sun.
