      This shows a comparison of Opera's and Vivaldi's forum thread font. (FWIW, both happened to be taken with Vivaldi-browser windows on a Win10-64 system with default fonts.)

        For me too - please use black text and somewhat more weighty font. This everywhere recommended (darker) gray on (lighter) gray makes my eyes hurt.

        Another problem (I don't want to create just new topic, because this is readabilty issua too) - can you add some settings to avoid wasting space? Unused areas around and between single posts waste maybe 60% of screen estate and break text flow - sure I could hack your CSS a bit, but some configuration options would benefit other users too.

            Could you change the text color to black? I know, artistic and stuff, but this color is hard to read. You should also increase the font size.

              The contrast between the textboxes (postings) and the background is too low. Textboxes in white are fine, but the background could be a darker grey.

                Why did someone tell me to look at my settings for the forum? There is nothing in there about font colour.

                    Thank you for sharing it, but I think the point of a forum must be the ability to read the posts. With tiny grey letters, it's just ridiculous. I don't want to spend time to fix their stupidity. I rather don't use this forum.

                          Much better. Thank you.

                          The font size is still an issue, but at least it can be solved with zooming in.

                            @nekomajin Glad we could help. If you'd like to see another small (1px to be exact) change for sake of readability - check Forums tomorrow.

                              The font size and the font itself is definitely still a problem, just look at the horizontal blur of T, e, z, etc.

                              Even if I set it to 110% I still think I have to go to the doctor for my eyes. Compare 110% zoom in blogs.opera.com to see how much better it looks there.

                              110% here:

                              vs. 110% there:

                                What have the forum builders got against black text? If the text were simply made black, it would make things much easier to read.

                                  You mean a whole pixel? Unbelievable!

                                  16px is a common font size. Why do you have to play with this too?

                                    15 px(odd pixels) makes text less clear.

                                    15px - 0_1510499781734_3a4dfde7-51ee-4a8c-a3dc-bfcc0add7b83-image.png
