Title: Forum style adjustment suggestion: make [b] a bit bolder
Post by: Pete Svarrior on August 09, 2016, 04:56:21 PM: I realise this will be a very subjective issue, and I appreciate that I might find myself in the minority here, but hey:

Personally, I find it a bit difficult to tell the difference between bold and normal text on this forum. If people agree, could we perhaps consider making it bolder? I'm thinking a font-weight of 700 would be much more noticeable than 600.

I've no issue with increasing the font weight.

Post by: Snupes on August 10, 2016, 06:54:57 AM: That is odd, they're super different for me. Do you have an odd resolution or something?

Post by: Pete Svarrior on August 10, 2016, 11:27:10 AM: I doubt it's a resolution thing - 1080p is more or less standard these days. It also looks slightly different between browsers. In any case, I don't particularly mind if others don't see an issue.

Post by: TotesNotReptilian on August 11, 2016, 07:44:37 PM: Seconded.

700 is standard. 600 can be a bit hard to distinguish depending on monitor quality, resolution, viewing distance/angle, etc.

Post by: TotesNotReptilian on August 11, 2016, 11:33:11 PM: FYI, here is a comparison between 600 and 700 font-weight (https://jsfiddle.net/1fqc9sx9/) using the font/size/colors for this website.
Title: Re: Forum style adjustment suggestion: make [b] a bit bolder
Post by: Lord Dave on August 12, 2016, 07:14:10 AM: That's a big diff. But the 700 looks like here.
Title: Re: Forum style adjustment suggestion: make [b] a bit bolder
Post by: Snupes on August 16, 2016, 03:33:27 AM: Yeah, same for me. My bold looks like the 700? Unless I'm nuts.

That said, I'm not against the change at all.

Ah, yes, I still had the CSS cached. My bad.
