Goodreads, "Did You Notice Anything Different" forum.

Well of course I did! Not good at all

I don't mind the font actually... but the colors are less distinguished and that's not better.

I'm finding it hard to read and I think it is because the background color is so bright. The new font to me is not as crisp and I am trending toward the screen but the new brightness strains the eyes. I ended up zooming the page to big, really big and sit far away. Since am near sighted it is not a perfect solution but it helps the eye strain. This was not progress for me. I'm going to try one of the add ons that people say to add to the browser.

I also don't like the new colors as they are, like you say, less distinguished, or less contrast in other words. I liked that the links popped out at me so I knew I could go to it to see more information.

Yes the lack of contrasts is a problem I think.
Also the font looks so much better when we are typing than when it's posted.
I think if they have so much trouble to change things why not make a way for people to choose skins like it happens in some foruns. That would suit everyone somehow.

They should have done beta testing. Random beta testing because this was not smart. It is not bad enough that I'll leave but I might have fewer hour per week because of eye strain.

I quit Yahoo Movies when they changed the whole website, and the colors. I tried to use it and it was just too frustrating. I now use Fandango or rottentomatos.
