I'm not sure if it's only on 7 or what but you can see the difference with the naked eye if you know it's there, it's like ClearType gets fucked up or something
It's been reported, facepunch is already a reference, but it still has not been taken by anyone willing to fix it

seems fine on android

Oh wow it even references my posts about it :v:
From the looks of it it's across all desktop platforms

I don't know much about it but Android seems to have a sort of vectorized font rendering system so you're able to zoom in without quality loss

I don't use a dark theme, and sub-pixel font rendering is much harder to see on a white background than it is on a dark one. So I didn't notice.

[QUOTE=TrafficMan;52784132]

It also doesn't do sub-pixel AA as far as I'm aware, because there are so many sub-pixel layouts on mobile devices (some use RGB vertical thirds, some use PenTile, etc).

Is it a big enough problem that I should talk to someone to get my title changed? I'm sure there's a way to do text scrolling in CSS, but it'd go over the character limit.
The whole title stuff sometimes seems very self indulgent to me.
some of the new titles do feel like self-fellating but honestly if it bothers people that much they could either get a title blocker extension or fix the problem themselves (if they have the cash)

I'm personally not really bothered by titles in general. I've complemented a ton of them because they're neat. The problem I have is using it as a gigantic avatar.
It's not so bad now but I'm just imagining tons of people doing the same thing and then we have massive page stretching avatars all over the place. It feels like there should be a size limit. Those smaller gifs in some people's titles are really cool and I like those.

Isn't that how a majority of fonts work though?
As mentioned in the report, it's a bug with the AA within Painter, among the other techincalities
yeah I will admit I'm a bit surprised there's no hard limit on image size for titles.

Nah it's not that big a deal imo, like I said if you don't know it's there you'd probably never notice it

Yeah I'm not too keen on the avatar replacing titles (except that one that's literally just crapt's avatar that one's great), the small ones are fine and interesting

Does that include width because I would like just a hot dog (without) a bun as my title but I didn't know the width size, obviously don't want a tiny hot dog cause people will just laugh at me going "Look at that guys tiny hot dog." which will obviously make me upset about the whole thing title thing really so then I'd ask to have it removed but that might take a while because the mods are busy understandably so as well, so then I would have to have it for a few extra days which would of course make me worry about coming on to here due to the influx of "nice tiny hot dog" messages all over my profile page which will tear me apart inside which could lead to my over excessive eating to keep me happy, you know, classic glutton baby happiness then when it does get removed people will still forever know me as "the tiny hot dog guy" I just don't know how I would cope. It's just too much.
There's a hardcoded width on the userinfo you don't have to worry about

Would be pretty badass if we could see who's currently typing a reply in thread.
Just an idea anyway.

I dont see a reason for it past it being "cool". Also with this forum basically falling apart I dont think its worth tacking more "useless" things onto it.
I know of one reason and one reason only that shows that the forums are falling apart. Lack of AOL messenger handles. Other than that it is pretty much in tip top shape.

Get outta here, grandpa.
Is the rating system on here an addon for vB or something Garry Newman invented?
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;52784609]Get outta here, grandpa.[/QUOTE]
It still saddens me to this day :(.
Also I agree on not having the live typing indicator, would make me just watch what I have posted and wait for the reply.
Having live typing indicators is like watching someone take a shit

Considering 90% of everything posted here is a shitpost anyway, that makes awful lot of sense.
idk bout you guys but I love typing a bunch of nonsense in the text field then deleting it, leaving everyone wondering what I was about to say

infinity think
For those that have noticed it, while I'm no prude, MrProComics avatar is just straight up porn, like it ain't even subtle.
I thought at least a little tact was required. :v:
Didn't know who that was lmao but it's handled. He'll get unbanned when he changes it.
[editline]16th October 2017[/editline]
Btw my default for an avatar ban is always perma on the off chance that the person disappears for a while before they notice. I always unban them pretty immediately once they change it.
So no, I'm not actually giving them a permaban for having a dumb avatar.
How do you view avatar history?

Totally unrelated what was just discussed, guys, haha, just asking
