Forum Fonts?!?!?

You know, when I came to the forums this evening and saw the changes made, my first reaction was WTF?!?!?  Then it dawned on me, tomorrow is April 1st...  :-D ...although it's still March 31st on the west coast.

If this is, in fact, an April Fools joke all I can say is "Well Done!"  :clap: :clap: :clap:

BTW, is the font supposed to be Clearview?

I noticed the font change too.  Initially, my reaction was WTF.  Generally I'm not a person who likes change for the sake of change.  I hadn't even considered that today is April Fool's Day; probably because I'm sick and trying to concentrate on keeping water down.  Figures, I would have to get sick on the one day where it's acceptable for me to play practical jokes.

Must be fourteen-fourteen day. Or is it fourty-one fourteen day?
I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems and call them "paychecks".

Ah, the jokes.  Love it.  Well, hate the font, but you get what I mean.

Well, now I have a reason for hating Clearview other than on principle. :-D

Your argument is invalid. :bigass:

To be honest, I don't hate the Clearview here;  but the bolded things are just bolded when it should probably be a different series. :) I also didn't notice anything until I logged in just now, because my phone renders it in Tahoma.

If this modification is intended to make a statement, congratulations, it does. (For the record, you are doing 4/1 right.)

I love and don't love the change equally and unequally, except where it is forbidden and permitted, unless it is or isn't.

That's cheating - my iPhone rendered it in Clearview somehow.  :ded:

I have a Windows Phone, and IE doesn't support the CSS technique that changed the fonts.

Just like the signs, this is hard as fuck to read.  You did your joke, now change it back.

SMF uses session verification for changing your theme, for who knows why, so please follow the steps below!

EDIT: Go to 'Look and Layout' in your profile. Then go to 'Change' next to current Theme: Button Copy 2.0 (Clearview). Then select [Use This Theme] on any other theme to leave the Clearview madness.

Sorry mods, it was making my eyes hurt trying to read the Clearview. I had to see if there were other themes available.  :biggrin:

Go to https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=theme; and hit the 'Change' link next to Button Copy 2.0 (Clearview). The rest should be self-explanatory.

Thanks for the link Zeffy.

While I understand it's April Fools, the Clearview font made reading this forum very, very painful.  With that said, A+ for effort!

This is certainly one case where the Clearview font is not easy to read.

That said, well done w/the April Fool's joke.

Unless there's plans to keep this particular thread in the Clearview font come tomorrow; this whole topic will be rendered irrelevant by then.  :sombrero:
