Actually the font-size is set to be relative to your OS defaults, but should be calculated by the browser to something like 13px. Could you please check the calculated font-size in the developer toolbar of Safari on your OS? Check the calculated CSS font-size for a) <body> and b) the content/text of posts.

@colors - where just a quick shot so far. Most work for the conversion went into preserving all data - the theme is still WIP and might change.

Sure, I understand that. I was just making a suggestion that you might add to your to-do if you find it useful and sort it afterwards by importance.

Under computed style font size is reported as 11px.

If I disable font-size: 81.3% under Matched CSS rules (styles.css:5) I am able to see again! Smile

EDIT: If I use size 100% I have 14px calculated which, IMHO, is lowest acceptable font size for OS X at least.

I add a screenie of post composer as well as I'm not sure if it is supposed to look like this. (This is with font size 81,3% turned OFF)

Maybe some of those projects could be highlighted a little better:
- http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=79070
- http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=77733
- http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=88388

Also maybe the webskins can have some more attention. Maybe an own section?

b) Not sure what you mean

damn..I just spent 3 minutes writing a reply how I changed my posts per page to 20..and how "latest posts" column is too narrow (because of the wide "forum") and most "last" thread names are cut off .. then I saw a visual bug (IE8).. made a screenshot .. attached it..and it turned out the attachments don't work in preview...went to delete the attachment..it wasn't there at all..went back to the post-editing and my text was gone
:@

second and last attempt: (prevous attachment is 171)

Some long posts (e.g. Skin Screenshoots ) mean you have to scroll past all the lovely eye candy before you know if a post is recent or not!!

New forum looks great - but I'd have to agree with the location of the Time and Date. Its much easier to work out currency of a post when the date is at the top of the post (see this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=32891 as an example)

+1

Date and time at the top would be great! So accustomed to that on pretty much every forum out there.

It's on the list.

I really like paging of posts on new forum. Seems faster and more fluid.

what happen to the subforums for Supplementary Tools for XBMC? Its all clumped together again. Also preview message when scrolling over it would be nice aswell.

Great job on the migration to the new forum. working great and love it

Supplemental tools only had one sub-forum, for the Official Android remote.
