New Question Layout Animates if I Try to Scroll Down

I absolutely agree with you, this is now a lot of form with very little function. The moderators are monitoring this forum for feedback but I seriously doubt you will see much of a change.

This isn't the formal way to complain to Apple. Consider writing them a paper letter. http://www.apple.com/contact

I can sympathize with you. I am finding more strain on my eyes.

Some users are attempting to tame the new site. What we are doing is using a technique available in web browser to selectively alter a web page. These alterations are helping me, but they have not gotten us back to were we were before.

Here are are the alterations that I know about.

Adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages

Minimal CSS tweaks for ASC

Re: User style sheet for the English ASC site

See Hiroto's adjustment. Hiroto came up with the first user style sheet for the ASC forums.

I agree, had to quit "helping" yesterday because the new design gave me a headache. The gray thin font is not good for my eyes. 😢

I must say this font situation is unrealistic. We all have different levels of eyesight; why cannot the fonts/depth of colour be adjustable It cannot be so difficult to do. It's all about the grey level. Grey. If ever there was a less inspiring colour it is grey.

Try Hiroto's latest adjustment. It is a vast improvement over the stock ASC.

The prior ASC alternated a light grey with a light blue reply. This may have helped. Wonder if I could make this adjustment via css?

Hiroto's English version. Minimizes white space. Better font choice. Avoids downloaded fonts.

How to install.

Adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages

So far I have not felt comfortable enough to try. Wishful thinking me is hoping that the PTB change the font (not likely) but if they don't I may try the tweaks suggested by tt2 in his User Tip - I may be able to do those, I hope.

Once you figure out how to do TT2's tweaks, Hiroto's are similar. Well worth the effort.

What browser do you use? Try them out in a browser you do not use, so any mistake will not be a bother.

What you see with Hiroto:

What you see with Apple.

I use Chrome on a MBP and would not want to mess it up. If I understand it correctly, I can install Stylish for Chrome and follow tt2's suggestions. If I mess it up is it as simple as disabling or deleting Stylish and starting over? Or would I have to trash Chrome and reinstall? Would not want to do the latter.

You can not mess it up. You may not get it to work on the first shot, but it is not going to melt your computer or cripple your Chrome.

You can disable or remove the Stylish plug-in any time you want.

You can easily enable or disable a custom style once you've configured it. If you look at my user tip those screenshots were taken moments apart. Each tab updates as soon as you enable or disable so you don't even need to refresh the page to see the effect.

It helps to have friends in high places!!! I don't know why I hesitated. It took me about 2 minutes to add Stylish and copy your tweaks into it. WOW, what a dramatic difference in contrast and color. I can now see the text in an eye friendly format with less strain. I have bookmarked your User Tip, not just for my reference, but for others. Many many thanks.... 🙂 🙂 🙂

You're welcome. 🙂
