For sensible comparison, so is H2. My intention was that other text be in ems, though PEBKAC is more than likely.

/* Site description and logo */
#site-description {
	float: left;
	width: 70%;
	font-size: 4em;

h2 {
	/* Forum header titles */

At a conservative estimate of 6 months, I suppose that would be something like 5%?

Users may still choose ThePortForumRed for themselves, if they should so wish. When it’s nearer perfection it will become the default.

Chief Admin’s decision.

JacobH wrote:I do wonder whether the header might change, though. To my eyes, it might look better if either the logo (or, if not the whole logo, just the letters) were re-drawn so it appeared smooth at a larger size, or if the header appeared in a mono-spaced typeface which would then more closely match the letters of the logo.

You ask me. On the case.

BackToTop uparrow has returned. That was more trouble, and less well done, than it ought to have been.

Private message pages also tidied. Comment welcomed.

jdaw1 wrote:Screenshot very helpful. Thank you. Looks far better on my Mac Firefox.

Please could you ensure that the stylesheets are refreshed. Please click refresh, shift-refresh, or whatever it is on IE that forces it to completely reload.

jdaw1 wrote:Thank you.

Mac Firefox, latest version, X needs to be only 12px, not 48+12 = 60px. Please could an IE user test: is the large “ThePortForum.com† now slightly separated from the logo?

Is there a reason that you’re reluctant to click on the big site name?
