It looks fine in all browsers to me. It's text, not graphics, so the rendering is up to your system. Do you maybe not have font smoothing enabled on your system?

User CP --> Settings & Options --> Edit Options --> aaallllll the way down to the bottom, choose 'Forum Skin: not so white BornDirty'.

I like.

Or, you could just use the drop-down menu in the bottom-left corner of every page.

I did that at first but the site didn't save the setting, so I had to change it again on the next login. Until I found out where to change it permanently on the User Control Page.

We did consider this, but its more important for us if visitors stayed here, on this site, and not be distracted but other social interaction that is nothing to do with us - so the compromise was at the footer, with the other external links.

Yeah, these are just placeholders, they will be replaced during the next resfresh.

hmm well I'm looking at it on the Mac at work and it does look fine here, but not at home on my windows 7 machine. I'll check my settings at home (though I never noticed any problems with aliased fonts before).

ah thanks, that's much better!

The new site is great.

Please let the brown be gone for good. This is much more refreshing and from a design perspective nobody keeps the same look for ten years.
