[69] I suppose a uniform style sheet would be a good idea. I fixed the broken link, thanks. [68] Yes, probably.

After poking around a bit, it seems like almost all the Banter links are set to open in new windows. With so many people contributing now, maybe a style sheet should be created for uniformity. Also, a quick bug to fix. On the main page, midway down in the Regular Features section, the "Game Recaps" link is dead. The main thing, though, is the more I look at this new design, the more I love it. Two more things.

The article was an interesting read and brought up some stuff I hadn't thought about. Quick question. When I've written for this site (recaps, interviews, etc.) I've always made my links open in new windows. Based on what you're saying and based on everything laid out in the article, it looks like I should stop doing that. Correct? [67] Thanks for the link about links.

Love the look. As for the feel, it'll take folks a while to get used to it, but I'm already liking it. I'm sure we'll all love in time. One thing I noticed, Ken, that might be something that only bothers me. For those people who are connected to another website, their names still show up as hyperlinks, just like they used to. But if you click on the name it doesn't open the link in a new window, so you navigate completely away from BronxBanter, when that might not have been the intention. That's probably an easy fix, right? But as I say, that might not bother anyone else. Once again, the site is beautiful. I’m finally looking at the actual site just now — absolutely beautiful.

I don't use Firefox, and the problem isn't really the font, it's my middle-aged eyes! it's really easy to resize the font on the iPad touch screen, too. I really like the new look, Alex and Co. It's very impressive! Bright and modern are the first words that come to mind. [58] thanks, Shaun. I don’t use Firefox, and the problem isn’t really the font, it’s my middle-aged eyes!

Obvious enough. Thanks. On font size: you know that on a Mac you can use command-+ (or minus) to embiggen the whole page, right? When the font looks too small to me I generally just do that. True, it embiggens other stuff too, but generally that's not horrible. Oh, on Recent Posts: now I see how it works. Obvious enough. Thanks.
