it's illegible it's so small. Poor layout if you can't use a readable size font.

(note to everyone else, if you increase the font size of your screen the newspaper gets bigger too, but it throws all the rest of the formatting out the window)

awesome!

And to people who obviously have to bitch: ctrl and + solves the problem, as well as selecting whatever section you want to read.
People who pay for adds get their adds displayed for 5 times longer now, because less people are willing to pay, or don't repeatedly spam the section anymore, and only (relatively) important messages, so they don't lose anything either, Hurray.

50K was a bit pricey; but 250K is prohibitive. What could you possibly sell and still make money off of with an ad cost that high? Anti-tank, RPG maybe? This should also drive up costs on such things as morphines and DPs.

Not a good change right there....


Yup!!!!

I like the idea, but I'm with the majority on this, the writing is way too small, and hurts the eyes.

1920*1440 on a 19 inch monitor makes it hard to read, and increasing the browser font size makes all the other text look too big! the white "paper" is not realistic at all and much harder on the eyes..


I feel your pain as i have the same screen!!

This has got to be the most idiotic move ever on the admins' part.

The newspaper was already serving its purpose well. It informs the community and has sections targeting key areas of the game.

You just had to make it "look like real life" without thinking of the consequences.

TC is an online media, not a printed one. You have a gajillion fonts at your disposable, yet chose one of the most unreadable.

Furthermore, you chose an unbelievably illogical font size.

I know probably none of you understand the meaning of "usability"... but for God's sake, I never thought people can be so daft.

Yeah it looks like a newspaper, but I can't read it so who cares. This is a point where looks over functionality does not work. I would prefer a usable tool instead of one that does not work. see post above on usability.

Some of you may find the font too small - I'm afraid this is as big as we could go.


You're right about that Ched, I think it's way to smal.

Lay out is okay... the font size sucks. Why pay 250k for an ad that people can't read?

Real hard to read; ads are near impossible, what with the short hand and Monkey-grammar.

Today in the News: fixing things that aren't broken...

PWNED!!!!!!!

But yeah, looks more realistic and soooooooo not worth for ads to cost 250K, especially if you're just looking for employees. I'd make it 100k. oh and where's the "post a message" button? cant find it.

use your browser to make the font bigger (Ctrl+ for firefox users) or a magnifying glass

Paper looks slightly more realistic, but nothing actually like a real newspaper.

The actual layout looks rubbish, unprofessional, the cheapest tabloid rag in the shop has a better layout.
It didn't nee to be changed, also 250k to place an ad? WTF?

That will completely cut out the little guys who are buying and trading is little amounts etc.
I understand if you were trying to get people to use the forums more but still needn't be done.
