Seen the new smaller font on both Chrome and Opera browsers. What is up?

I'd like the old font back. This makes it impossible to read/focus on topics atm.

I agree. It's also like that on Firefox as well. I thought it was a glitch but no it really is that small and hard to read things.

Probably just GameSpot making things "better" as usual.

Thought it was my webpage being zoomed out or something, but all the other fonts are still normal.

I don't care about the font, if not for this thread I wouldn't have noticed

It's literall 1/10th of the size it was before. Very distracting for desktop use.

Maybe not for phone use?

It looks fugly on phones too.

And since it would be incredibly easy to fix, and GameSpot hasn't fixed it for over 24 hours, I guess they like the new font. Great.

Yup, it's not a bug, but a 'new feature' that much is clear after 24 hrs.

Oh boy...

How many times does this have to happen? These forums have been on life support for years because of unwanted changes like this. Is it deliberate?

If you want to change something...fine, but leave the option to change it back.

I noticed this as well a few days ago, thought it was a glitch but went to check on my phone and it was the same. Font is much smaller than before...

Stupid Gamespot devs messing around with the font. Now I have to zoom in 120% on my browser.

Also, the dropdown menu has disappeared when you hover over the Forums link at the top!

I had a chance to check it out on phone now. It's not enjoyable to read this new font on phone either.

Still pure silence as a response.

But this is how your notifications look now

Just squished and hideous.

And this font is here to stay?

Sounds marvelous.

Don’t expect a response from staff. Might have been a year since I saw one of them post here.

It's kind of sad that we've grown accustomed to it.
