31. It's got a very clean, crisp look to it.

Also, insanely easy on these old eyes. It looks like the same typeface, but there's something... different about it (good different, I mean). My instinct is the leading between lines has increased ever-so-slightly, but I've long forgotten anything about page layout I used to know.

Regardless, it's a smooth look, unobtrusive, and easy to navigate. So, for what it's worth, my hats off to you guys.

I read the DU4 Feature List before I squawked Brother Buzz Sep 2023 #4

In all honesty (can't we get flagged for criticising DU?) I cannot stand the FLASHING "MY STUFF" button! Why the new format? TeamProg Sep 2023 #5

If you go to your account settings, you can disable the flashing. Ptah Sep 2023 #8

You can change the flashing button EarlG Sep 2023 #9

You can turn off the flashing. I didn't like it either. Now it's gone on my interface. TygrBright Sep 2023 #17

Thank you! nt TeamProg Sep 2023 #18

I definitely got rid of the flashing My Stuff style, then... electric_blue68 Sep 2023 #48

Hey, Earl & Co electric_blue68 Sep 2023 #6

If my long time experience on another site is an example: you'll find the Strike feature become a good snark tool 😄 nt electric_blue68 Sep 2023 #7

Would prefer it being a bit more compact like the regular DU. LiberalFighter Sep 2023 #13

Ah, interesting EarlG Sep 2023 #21

The ability to Rec individual replies in a thread is a winner...needs more advertising! Alexander Of Assyria Sep 2023 #29

The Greatest Page keeps defaulting to Most Rec'd rather than Most Recent. progressoid Sep 2023 #19

Ideally it should remember your setting EarlG Sep 2023 #24
