Firstly you need the Stylish extension installed into your browser. Secondly, I found that with the Safari version of that extension, the outer two lines of my code snippet should be removed: that is the part referring to “mozilla” stuff on the first line, and then the very last curly bracket.
Congratulations on all the updates and releases. I really appreciate how much work you’ve all put in (been there, done that).
My only issue is with the display font of the new look forum.
It is just way too fine and spidery (as someone previously has said) for me to read comfortably. I’ve found most of the other bits I’ve habitually used (new posts, first posts) okay, but this font is a shocker.
Assuming the forum is still in phpBB, could you not make the default, garden variety theme available to tragic people like myself who have vision issues (it’s a simple setting in the ACP)?
If you download the Stylish extension for your browser (assuming you don’t already have it), then copy and paste Amber’s code of a few posts back into a new style (click the new S button in your browser header bar, then Edit / New style, bearing in mind Amber’s alteration if you’re using Safari), you will see 100% improvement. The font is once more ‘strong’ and clear, not thin and spidery.
Thank you, but for those who don’t want to use Stylish, is there any possibility that the font will be fattened a bit?
(I haven’t read or missed whether it’s being considered.)
ETA: Since the forum change (don’t know if it appeared on the former), a couple of times I’ve seen at the bottom of the forum front page an entry for “Bing [Bot]” as an online, registered member. The entry isn’t clickable. Who/what is it?

Thanks. I understand about indexing. I didn’t know “it” became a registered member. Must be part of the software package.
ETA: I ventured from my laziness, did a search and found out it was added to phpBB in around 2010. As far as this forum, maybe L&L had it disabled in the last rendition or I flat out missed it. Thanks again.
Possibly because I’m in China, but every navigtion on this forum and the browser blocks for at least 3 or more seconds before anything else can load while it contacts hello.myfonts.net — I assume this is some kind of metric for your WOFF fonts, but I very much feel like just blocking it as my average for every page ends up 4-8 seconds when it used to be instant… Screenshot show an average navigation, with hello.myfonts.net taking 3.2 seconds (TTFB-time to first byte) just frozen (the response is two bytes, it is a tracking handshake request basically).
