I have tried to like the new forum format, however...

The font sizes used are too small for me to read for the most part.  After just a short time of trying to read posts, my eyes are tired.  Anyone else having trouble reading these posts?

Yikes!  That one is too big.  hehe Smiley Happy

 

Here's what you can do - instead of making the font super ginormous and then everybody has to deal with that, just make the adjustments on your computer so that font sizes are larger FOR YOU.   

 

That way you can have what you want and everybody doesn't get blasted with the way too large font.

there is a fix for that................just hold down your control key on your keyboard and spin the wheel on your mouse away from you...........it will enlarge the text and give your eyes a rest.......................................raven

It really doesn't bother me. I do wish you could choose a font/font size and keep it, but that is a minor thing.....

I don't like it either but it is what we have now and I can't do anything about it. I could leave but I don't want to do that. Smiley Sad

That super large font is just as distracting and hard to read as the tiny stuff!  I have my chosen font size as Large and I set my screen at 150% just for this site.  It is great.  At "normal" resolution, (100%) I find I am squinting and get a headache.

 

It is also overwhelmingly light/bright, very hard on the eyes.  I spend much less time here now, none at night or before bed.  

 

The light grey print is hopelessly difficult so I skip over that.

 

It's not fun.

I find it visually cluttered, one of the worst formats I've seen in years in fact, and as an iPad user, I still can't quote.

Cluttered mess is the perfect way to discribe the look of the new site!  It just doesn't flow well.  QVC must have purchased a bottom dollar solution to an update for the site.  I have to set my screen at 150% to be able to read things.  It's sad how they have changed things for the worse . . . sigh . . .

I can not stand the format. Hard to read, hard to find posts. Please QVC, bring back the old format.

@Beauty$Junkie,

 

I'll post this in large text in hopes you see it (along with the other responses).

 

As @chickenbutt and @raven-blackbird said, if you'll use the "zoom in/zoom out" feature on your device (key combinations or browser settings) that should help increase the size of all the text on the screen whether you're logged in here or not.
