I never run my browser in full screen so, I started blocking all of Fark's CSS after the previous change. My proxy already rewrites the main links to eliminate the /goto/'s so, it looks like I'll need to add a filter for the "source | share".

Sooooo glad I waited the 2 minutes for THAT to load.

Can you find a bigger one that says 'Doubleclick Whore'?

It took two minutes load an anigif smaller than 488kb?

You might want to get off the tortoise internet plan you have.

BTW the larger font will make drunken reading and posting much much easier. This can't be a coincidence.

Pants full of macaroni!!: [img.photobucket.com image 266x150]

Chariset: Another vote for the option to adjust the text size. The headlines and comments are just too big.

The option exists, the exact way to do it varies a bit from browser to browser, but you can change how big the font is.

Large Font?

RminusQ: LARGE FONT SIZE SUCKS. Seriously, it's messing with my head. I tried to reduce the font size back to what it had been, and the result was that the gray background ended 2/3 of the way down the page, leaving the footer having a stark black background.

It genuinely appears no one gave the slightest consideration to the notion that some of us might actually LIKE smaller text, given how many things are broken by using the browser to adjust our text size back down. Honestly, did it really completely fail to ever cross anyone's mind or did it come up, then everyone involved in this redesign just waved a hand dismissively and collectively said "fark 'em!"?

I'll go ahead and jump on the font size bandwagon, this is ridiculous. I'm old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be either, but if you need font this damn large perhaps you should look into some glasses, or just changing the font size on your browser rather than making everyone else adjust theirs.

On another note, how come the links I've already clicked on are still showing up as dark as the ones I haven't? I don't see anything in the settings to change this. I have no clue what I've read and what I haven't. I use Chrome if that matters.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: iii) We're increasing the maximum limits on images in threads - both dimensions and filesize. You can now post an image up to 850x1500px, with a filesize up to approx 500k. You can still link to images larger than that.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

I don't care about Facebook or Twitter but that's what all the cool kids do so it's expected. It seems like a good move to increase site traffic but what do I know.

I like my titties large and my pics of titties even larger!

This font size is much too large!!!

However, I'll probably get over it... eventually.

HairBolus: As someone with somewhat bad eyesight I run the No Squint browser extension that remembers magnification/shrinking on a per-site basis and so I literally cannot understand font size problems.

Some people biatch pointlessly about a problem, but you, Sir or Madam, are much more awesome than those people.

Thanks. I have bad eyesight myself (legally blind) and wasn't aware of that FF extension. Off to install it now.

See?

Farkers helping Farkers.

I love Fark.

Okay, so now with the new picture size allowance, I can post giant pictures of feral kittens living behind the shed in my back yard!

meg: So you might have noticed a few changes around here. For your edification, here's a quick summary.

A) On all our headline pages (Main, Geek, etc.) you can now hover over the headline and share to Facebook or Twitter. It also shows an easy link directly to the article. If you don't like it, you can turn it off in your Preferences page in myFark (check the preference for, "Don't show Facebook and Twitter share buttons.")

Meh. Okay I guess, but thank God I can turn it off.

2) We bumped up the font size a bit on headlines. Drew's eyes ain't what they used to be.

Add me to the list of "but everyone will see what I'm browsing at work!" complaints. Did you consider this? Yes I know I can use my browser setting to make it smaller again, but that screws up every other site I read. Yes, I know I could install an add-in to remember site-specific zoom settings, but should I really have to install an add-on to read your site? How about a preference setting for this too? Alternatively, how about Drew (and the rest of you old, blind people) buy some freaking reading glasses.

iii) We're increasing the maximum limits on images in threads - both dimensions and filesize. You can now post an image up to 850x1500px, with a filesize up to approx 500k. You can still link to images larger than that.

This is great - in theory. Fark's image restrictions have been kind of a joke for a while now, but this also falls under the "everyone will see what I'm browsing issue" especially since NSFW is not a universally agreed-upon standard. Perhaps a setting to display all images at 50%? Or a maximum image size?

δ) We're also increasing the minimum width of our page to support the new image sizes, and because over 95% of you have screens that wide anyway.

This. is. awesome.

blue) We're changing all contest threads (Photoshop, Farktography, etc) to automatically default to showing only the contest entries (vote-enabled comments), to keep the emphasis on the contest itself. There's a 'Show all" link after the last comment, and a checkbox to "Show nonvoting comments" at the top. If you always want to see all comments (both contest entries and discussion about the contest), you can change it in your Preferences page in myFark (check the preference for, "In contest threads (Photoshop, Farktopgraphy, captions, etc), see regular comments as well as contest entries.")

The way some people get so uptight about the purity of contest threads has always baffled me. For them, fine whatever, but its good that I can turn this off.

Yes, I will get over it, but these are some things you can do to help me get over it faster.

You have Kitty Hitler living behind your shed?

It looks like Uncle Leo Seinfeld to me. And he looks like an Adonis.

The headlines look the same size to me...but, the comments look ginormous.

Kinda reminds me of Roy's Big Note Guitar Book™.

Yep.

I went back there when they were gone, and found little kitty plans for invading Poland.

angrymacface: If you shrink the text to a reasonable size, the borders break:

Taking a look at your picture made me remember there is a comment editor option. I can't even remember when I had disabled that thing. Probably on the first day it was available.

But now I know how people can do linked replies.

Perhaps a setting to display all images at 50%? Or a maximum image size?

If NSFW is a big issue at your workplace, you can also check the preference in myFark to "Convert images to links, leave other HTML formatting intact". Then you can click to open only those you feel are safe.

If you use the No Squint browser extension it can do a bit more than just remembering magnification/shrinkage on a per site basis.

If you open it up you can set things like:

"Full Zoom Level" = 65
"Text Zoom Level" = 205

This shrinks every thing and then makes text really large which mostly gives a total result of shrinking the size of pictures.
