The worse my eyes get, the more I appreciate font being slightly bigger than normal.

Slightly bigger would be perfect. Also, the red color is a bit harsh for titles and such. Maybe shift that to a different color.

I'm fine with the font size as it is, but I wouldn't mine either way if was made a little larger.

The font for the message when you see a 'foe' has posted is WAAAAAY too big. It literally leaps out of the box.

I agree and am loving the new home page layout! The red does clash a little though, so maybe a different color?

Great job guys!

I love the font currently used for main message display...but would prefer to see the same font used in message creation. Right now the font when you are in a reply box is smaller and very tightly kerned.

Hey Eltsac,

I know it's a minor detail and probably somehow OCD-related, but any chance the emoticons can be slightly smaller so that the website font continues to stay in-line? As-is, if you use an emoticon on the same line with text above it, there is a gap between the two lines. Here's an example:

Proposal, bugreport, rant, PM,
Funniestmoments LOL :mrgreen:
New post search, search old posts,
click Radgar's humorous links..

As you can see, the space between the first line and second line exists due to the emoticon size (I believe). It does not exist in the line below the emoticon nor between normal text lines. I'm not sure how it works, but it looks like the emoticon size is forcing in-line text down (or above-line text up?).

Obviously it's just aesthetics, but the spaces annoy me because I'm weird. :P

And one other thing I noticed; it may have occurred before, but since you're a superstar maybe you could help with this, too?

Sometimes links don't get underlined automatically. I know they're given a different color (dark blue), but the color is so similar to the black that sometimes it is difficult to tell there is a link there.
