I come in, take a glance and leave

Maybe it depends on what you are viewing the forum on. On my iPad the font is larger. I like it.

Over a font?

OK - I will admit I'm a senior and I need a larger font - I'm able to read what is posted with this new font BUT it is difficult and makes me much less likely to spend any time checking out the blogs. It's just not enjoyable if you have to strain to read the posts. Please change it back QVC!

I must be missing something because I'm not seeing anything different.

But you can adjust the size of the font in your profile. Or if on an iPad, just enlarge the screen for a temporary change.

On a desktop or laptop just use Cntl and the + sign to enlarge as much as you need.

@Mary Bailey, I am really having a hard time with it too. I can't quite figure why but a tremendous amount of eye fatigue. Truly unpleasant.

It's not just the size. It's hard on the eyes - difficult to read, not user-friendly at all. I think there's at least one other thread about it. Lots of posters are unhappy with this change.

@Mary Bailey I really hope you can find a way to enlarge your screen so that you can continue to enjoy the forums. I enjoy your posts, and love your dancing avatar. It makes me smile whenever I see it😊.🤗

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I have a MacBook and the font is much smaller in the area with the subject information. Not a fan Where it gives the latest post information, that is a good size. I don't really care about the font so much as the size.

I find the change minimal, but, I like it.

So, who should QVC listen to, the folks that like it or don't?

The new default font style and size are hard to read. Eyestrain is right.

QVC does not do a good job when it comes to IT design and QA testing new rollouts. The age of your customers has to be taken into account when designing a webpage for older customers who cannot easily read small print anymore.

The new font is really really tiny/minute on my screen - have to enlarge page to be able to read anything and it is very faint. Cannot seem to adjust it at all.

Why the change Q this is not good.

@tiny 2 @Mary Bailey In Community Chat, they said they were working on it. At least the forum names aren't all in bold like they were.

What kind of device are you viewing on? I have an iPad and a Macbook Pro and I am able to enlarge the image. I would imagine that all computers have that capability. I don't like the new font either, but it's for aesthetic reasons, not for the size.

I'm on my Dell PC and I honestly can't see anything different about the font..... I'm probably missing something too.....

It is hard to read. I find myself reading a sentence then having to look away to readjust my eyes. This is on my pc. I have not tried it on another device.
