@Velocio I am using Chrome (illicitly installed, not sure how it gets through our work lockdown on installing anything, but I managed to install it). I have 2 adjacent, landscape monitors, 1920 x 1200. The only way I can see to reduce the font is ctrl+mousewheel - but I don't have to do this on any other website? That's the bit I simply don't get. What is the add in?

I can use IE9, but it won't store logins, etc (lockdown), and I don't like it much anyway.

@Velocio Much appreciating the time you are giving to all your responses, you have the patience of a saint!

I get the coding thing - it's tidy and will work nicely. I may make myself a little crib sheet.

The list was a good surprise - had to edit though as the last line was not supposed to be part of the last list element.

While I understand the font history, readability, etc - and I just had another look at a handful of random Wordpress blogs, The Guardian and Wikipedia - but the fonts are all smaller than this site (I am by no means being scientific, purely subjective). Wordpress does appear to have similar white space ratio but with a smaller font.

I don't understand why all of a sudden the internet seems to want to have everyone able to read a page from 3 x arms length. Humans haven't changed that much in so many years? Maybe in the last 20 years, those that can make change happen online are in denial over their increasing need of reading glasses?

Riding home last night, discovered my headset had worked loose. Had a few slightly wavering moments but continued carefully until I reached Camberwell so I could call by Cycle PS for a quick fix. A madly gesticulating @veLLo was stood on the pavement as I rolled up, great to catch up over a very very quick and much appreciated pint! A big shout to the chap at Cycle PS for tightening the headset in even quicker time. Awesome chaps!

Oh my goodness, I created a list!

I'm enjoying a lot about the new forum, still exploring and getting used to it. Well done @Velocio & @motman on quite an amazing transition, and a really good looking/using new format.

There are a few things that are still bothering me, mentioned and discussed by others, but I'm not sure whether there was any actual action on anything:

• I still don't understand why this is the ONLY website I view that has such large font size. I have read the various links about 'readability' which is fine, but no other website requires individual zooming - which spoils the rest of the format view to me anyway. Having the forum open at work is obvious enough as I can't hide avatars, but now it can be read from 6+ feet away from the desk.
  
• Losing the quoted text in @replies totally prevents any in-thread discussions being followed. I have given up trying to read back to see what the reply was relating to, now it just makes no sense half the time when reading posts in order. As I am picking up the forum here and there rather than following it realtime, it makes for inconsistent reading.
  
• I am getting round the fact that read/unread threads are mixed up in the Following page. I think there was mention of filtering here though.
  
• I've seen mention of the use of code in searches, and in the posts. I have no idea what or where to put any code, so this is not going to come easily.
  
  

Other than those niggles, it has grown on me rapidly, just wish it was a little more use-at-work friendly.

Lovely to bump into @veLLo as I pulled into Cycle P S for an emergency headset tighten. And also to meet @monkdagola too!

@JesperXT (awesome!) @Aroogah
B wanted me to draw a black sun again last night ...

@Velocio - no, I logged in on Day 1 got the refresh problem, switched from https there and then and has been ok since. Was just adding my 5¢.

It was happening to me the first time I logged into the new lfgss, when I was using a bookmarked https:\ link. I changed to http:\ and the refreshing stopped. Using Chrome on windows laptop.

It stopped being a school a while back, then became a gift shop, currently vacant I believe.

Old: A slightly hazier day, and come across completely by accident ... Blythe Hill Fields
We tried to do a new tag with all of us yesterday, but I fell off, and B fell asleep so it didn't happen.

New: This school for the poor was founded a looooooooong time ago -

Awesome ... the top half is screaming 'Gruffalo' ... (#mumstuff)

weve had a totem before... are we sure its not a re?

Yes.

Phew, I had searched the thread, and nothing was marked up on the map so I figured it was good to go! (also given it has only been there since this year, I hoped not a re).

^ Sounds like it - it was carved over the winter.

Moar cluez? ... Morganico.

From 2pm

Commentary ... "that is the trickiest climb sprint finish I've seen ... since the previous one"
Yeah ...

Saw a car with a couple of those "Cyclists stay Awesome" stickers on it's rear bumper, parked up in Nunhead. Lookin' good.

Speak to Henry / eyebrows too.

Back in with a boom :) Will have to sort out some tagging with mini L&W if the location is right!

Clue: The Totem stands betwixt the boring sorceress and Mother Superior.

Old: Dalmain Primary, Honor Oak

New: umm, thinking of a clue.

^ want to do a joint one later?

Been toooo long since I tagged anything :)

Bang, enormous thunderclap. Then nothing.

Hundreds of them all over the place in Peckham yesterday evening.

Brilliant!

Got two tickets for Slint in August at the Electric. Apparently, the missus would rather eat her own face....

Anyone want the second ticket?

Goodness, I saw Slint a number of years ago at the Forum. They played Spiderland, which I do like, but they were totally up their own artskool arses and I had to leave, it was painful.
