    Also, sig lettering is too big, bring back the smaller sized letters.

    ACK!
    That has more to do with the layout on the left. The boxes surrounding each field take up too much space and artificially make each post's default height too big. Of course, the old design had similar problems, but the boxes just make it worse. The only immediate solution I can think of is to drop sigs to a separate table cell at the bottom of the post...is that how they used to be? I don't remember...

    I agree on the font size, though.

      I have reverted the default back to "Apolyton 2.0" -- I made that change in counterproductive haste. We should wait until more community members have the opportunity to see the "Apolyton 2.0" style in action, and comment on it here; they may not even see it if does not remain the default.

      That said, the default may ultimately end up at "Restricted" after further consultation though both style options are to remain.

        I don't have anything on the left, I'm using restricted.

                    Off-topic links are bolding on mouseover...please don't do that, it's bad to force the text to reflow when you're trying to click on it.

                    Edit: Only on posts with new messages.

                    Edit2: Edit submit worked right that time.

                      Edit, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Well, it always works but sometimes it hangs when you click on "save"

                        One thing I do like:

                        When you click on the number under "replies" on the thread list, it shows who has posted in the thread and the number of replies, like before. However, you can no click on the number next to the name and it links to all post by the user in that thread.

                              That's happening at the upper left of all of the pages for forums which have subforums (OT, Civ4-General, etc.).

                              Preview post is not working for me as well (using Firefox 3.0.5); all I get is a blank page.

                                First off, in further update: the 'Preview' post option is working for me but only sporadically (Firefox 3.0.5). If is not for you as well, please note:

                              • what browser/version you were using;
                              • in what forum(s) -- please try at least a few different ones -- and what frequency/consistency;
                              • what behaviour resulted instead of what is intended (previewing the post ).

                                If you can try another browser/version for comparison purposes, that would be helpful.

                                For those experiencing timezone difficulties, is your 'DST Correction Option' set to "Automatic"? If not, try that; if it is, try "... on" and/or "... off" and see if that helps. If that still does not resolve the issue, than that is something Gramphos or another Apolyton staff member more experienced with vB configurations than I will need to assist on.

                                For those on font sizes, what is your monitor size and resolution set at? Within your preferred browser you should be able to modify them yourself in proportion to one another. (This way if we don't change one or more of them to your liking in whole or in part, you can still exercise some control for your own experience.)

                                On forum signature sizes, I noticed an increase in the font size of mine as well; specifically, the second line was larger when it should have been smaller. This was because the way I had coded my signature before: it did not specify a font size on the second line, while ending the size on the the first line. I updated my signature accordingly and, viola, minor annoyance resolved. Nevertheless, that was good to note here for us to address.

                                I see that too now, and also e.g. for CivIV -- whereever sub-forums are noted in a forum's description. I have been able to isolate what I believe is the cause, but not how to correct it... yet anyway.

                                Noted -- will investigate further.

                                Whoops -- corrected. You did have mod abilities on this forum, or its predecessor-in-name, at one time didn't you? (If I recall correctly?) If so, then that permission must have been inadvertantly inherited from an archived setting of when you were a moderator.
