Nice one Trystan, but I also think the C should be upper case.   

Emphasises the Chat about Roots, always helpful for new visitors.

Di, if you use the Ctrl key with + or - keys it will adjust the whole screen to your liking.

Don't normally like change...but I do like the new logo which caught my eye as soon as I logged on ;D ;D

I see some people are after a capital C.  I agree with the reasoning behind (highlighting the chat element)...but in design terms I think the small c is better.  Much tidier.

Just one tiny thing...is the s supposed to be so much narrower than the other letters. The t is quite narrow too but I don't mind that so much and agree with an earlier poster about liking it for being a bit like a grave marker.

I am looking forward to all the changes now.

Hi,

Yes I spotted it this morning (Thursday 22/11/2012), the first thing I noticed was how crisp and clean looking it was.

I have one question though, if the lower case c is intentional  ;D why?

Regards.
Concentrating currently on:
Essex: Card, Harris, Stowell, Theobald/Tibbles & Turner.
Norfolk: Beale, Cork & Dalton.
Yorkshire: Oswald Sturdy birth/baptism c1708, Oswald where the devil are you?

Well... 'schatz' means 'treasure' in a few European languages, and we thought, well...

No. Really. Do you really think we are that well organised? It was intentional at the time, we were then not too sure about the small c, then we kind-of forgot about the "lower c thing".

And here we are today.
