NFT: BBI Font

Rocky369 : 8/28/2014 8:32 am
what changed? Chrome is displaying a totally different font for the Corner Forum than I usually see. Anyone else?
There was a technical update to chrome yesterday  
NoPeanutz : 8/28/2014 8:37 am : link
making it more compatible with websites. The font in particular was affected. It was widely reported on tech blogs.
one link - ( New Window )
So you're not going crazy.

Well not based on this, anyway.

obviously.
Weird...  
RC02XX : 8/28/2014 9:25 am : link
this is what I see now...

It is really strange that BBI doesn't have any styles applied to posts

Let's put in an enhancement request for Gary.
i didnt see a font change  
asbasb : 8/28/2014 10:03 am : link
But when I started up chrome this morning I received a message telling me that my settings file was corrupt.
On Firefox

The font changed to black and became smaller. Also, the viewed posts don't change colors any more. I liked the blue better, gee, wonder why? lol. Love this site still but is it possible to change back?
I noticed the font change on Chrome, too  
Wuphat : 8/28/2014 10:39 am : link
meh
Okay, this is totally weird  
GFL in WV : 8/28/2014 10:44 am : link
but the old font is back!!!!! Thanks, whoever did this!!!
FYI, I didn't change anything

Any changes you're seeing are due to something changing on your end.
Gary, why no font in the style sheet?  
BeerFridge : 8/28/2014 11:02 am : link
.
Why should I pick your font?  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 8/28/2014 12:22 pm : link
Pick your own font! It's a free country!

More seriously, the BBI CSS is a giant mess, with a lot of legacy stuff from 2007/2008. I need to remake it from scratch.

did you ever find anything out about those codes I'm seeing?

Gary from The East End : Admin : 8/28/2014 12:31 pm : link
I haven't been able to replicate the issue.
Is it worth sending some more screen shots  
Jon from PA : 8/28/2014 12:35 pm : link
or no? I mean it's not a huge deal. Just odd.
