I was about to mention that the old font really strained my eyes, especially in some of the more longer posts, but apparently you guys noticed that too. That new font looks much better, thank you.

Thats very odd... because the old font is a "serif" font (meaning, feet). Serif fonts were originally designed so that they are easier to read in larger chunks. The new font is "san-serif" (meaning, without feet), which should actually be harder to read...

I'm using Linux so my fonts are different than for most of you guys but even for me this font change was for the better. Me and my are happy.

Serif fonts don't scale down very well, especially without anti-aliasing, so sans-serif is a better bet online. I prefer serif myself, but I'm somewhat of a typography nerd and have smoothing/ClearType on with all of my machines. :P

I'm not a huge fan of the blurry drop shadow effect when hovering over certain links (in signatures, PM conversations, etc.) because it seems random/inconsistent with the rest of the skin, but overall the skin's looking good.

ExMachina, your avatar is too sexy for it to be true. P4's emo boy for the win!

Oh, wait... This is the Soul Calibur forum... Sorry, I'm getting carried away with my gay fantasies!
