Yes I agree, looks very clean and tidy and much easier on the eye than the big bold letters earlier last week

Nice one Trystan

Sorry Too much for me too......Headache coming on already and only been online a few minutes. Have had a lot on PM's also from people who have been having trouble reading the Bold Red all week. It seems that particularly on the smaller screens the words all run together. Perhaps we need to know what colours people suffering colour blindness can distinguish. Is there a colour all sufferers can see or is it different for all. I wear what we call Multifocal glasses, presumably the same as your Varifocals. For someone who spends a lot of time online I and have no trouble with them for computer work until all this bold started.....Lose It! Kris  :D

Is my computer set up in a different way?  I don't have bold red, everything is bright blue.  I can never read red on screen and I don't like the underlining either.  I did turn down the contrast as everything was too bright.

I have distance glasses and reading glasses, can't use another pair for the screen so I take my glasses off

The underlining makes the screen look cluttered and confusing - and that's when I'm wide awake and sober!  Much harder to pick out topics/requests I'm interested in from the rest.  A definite NO from me... ??? ???
