Love 💙 the new blue hue of Zorin forum

It looks like the devs may have changed the font. The squared off bottoms of y and g now seem rounded and the dot at top of lowercase i is more separated. The whole reading experience suddenly improved. I hope it stays that way.
What did someone say about a website dev changelog :wink:

EDIT: Maybe it is some sort of transition thing, but new posts are appearing with what I will call the ugly font, but older posts are showing with the legible font.

EDIT2: I could be wrong. I'm seeing more thread headers written with the squared off "ugly font", so transition is maybe going the wrong way for my liking.

I like new forum style. It is modern and better.

It will be great if we can get emojis next to "like" button.
Sometimes I want to put :slight_smile: or :stuck_out_tongue: :thinking: :ok_hand: :+1:

It does seem to stand out from the almost D3Euronism look of the Zorin Text logo.

#33

I did not see this "ugly" font" so I checked my Firefox setting.
My font setting is customized to override the fonts offered by the webpage - another solution.

This is no longer true. It is now back taller, so am hitting the hamburger again.
I really hate the new forum font with a passion, is it just me?

#35

I didn't even notice any changes, how you guys notice so many changes? It's literary Manjaro Forums but with Zorin Theme.

I must admit... I prefer the way it was before in dark mode. Not sure how it looks in Light Mode.
The contrast increased, which seems good but... Something about it seems odd to me.
At the same time, I hardly want to pester about Forum Appearance issues during such a busy time for the ZorinGroup.
So I haven't said very much.
I do see certain improvements in the layout and design. For example, Pm windows have a different and distinctive look, allowing to easily distinguish between a PM and a Thread - Which I have failed to do before LOL

I don't like the highlight colour of the text, it's too dark.

I've been using dark theme here ever since it was implemented. But I also have a browser wide dark theme too that makes all sites dark. But it conflicts with some sites to be able to see anything, so I got to have it turned off on some sites lol.

#42

Now if that ain't a conundrum... If it's not, I don't know what is..

Oh I know.. Calling your cable provider when there's an internet service outage
and the answering services repeatedly tells you to to sign into to their website...
That's not a fun experience.

Now most of us have a data plan on mobile, it is possible :wink:

Where I live, way too many people on data. When we get an outage, almost impossible to even make a call.

#45

We subscribe to two different companies for internet and mobile. While we would not benefit from a bundle discount, it is highly unlikely that 2 networks go down at the same time.

#46

True, but if your power goes out, your going to lose connection to one network regardless, unless your a fancy pants like me, and have a generator! :stuck_out_tongue:

I too have mobile data as a backup, I am always adding more to it each other. And with tethering abilities, I can tether the phone to my tablet, and provide it mobile net if need be.

But as long as there is still internet going down that bloody cable, even if the power does go out, as long as I fire up that noisy butt of a generator, it will keep the net powered up for me.

#47

I can cope with that with a fully charged mobile phone and data line!
Says me whose phone is almost always out of battery :wink:

Alright FrenchPress, prepare to laugh, cause you know you will. You know how we been talking about what happens to your net if you have a power outage and your only left with mobile net?

Well, guess what just happened today, our neighborhood power went out due to massive damage from wind storms, apparantly so bad, that our power company has no estimated time for power to return.

The power outage is also so bad, that the cell phone towers where I can get mobile data from are in low power mode. And because of that, I also have no internet that I can get from them.

So how do I have internet right now you ask? Well, thats cause I have a generator. And, I am lucky that I had some fuel left that I could run in the generator. I don't have a lot mind you though.

So I am now back on the net with my tablet. So its all your fault, all this bad juju talk of losing power and net, and then I suddenly got cursed by it.

Kidding FrenchPress. I have a scientifical mind, I don't believe in bad juju and curses. I just thought you'd have a good laugh at that lol.

Actually I am more concerned for the content of your fridge/freezer. From a housewife's point of view, my reaction was far from laughing.

I experienced 3 days black out while I was still in Canada. I only had an average size freezer compartment but even then, we had to discard several hundred dollar worth of food (it happened in the middle of summer) since we had no way to cook them (most of Canadian homes have electric cooking system only).

I hope you have a decent gas BBQ so that all that defrosted foods would not be wasted.
