Does anyone know what happened to it ?
I can't find any posts you've made from that topic that have been removed I'm afraid, so can only suggest it didn't submitted correctly - sorry!

Tapatalk definitely working ok here after logging out and back in again.
Maybe try uninstalling the app and installing again, if that still doesn't work contact Tapatalk Support at www.tapatalk.com as we can't support issues with it.

Joel said:Well spotted... the font face is different, and kicked in to the forums because the SMF default CSS file was (still) overriding the custom site CSS we were using and using Verdana as the default font, and wasn't exactly intended that way.
I appreciate it's probably a little different as you're used to Verdana, but try it for a few days and see how you get on with it. I am trying to tweak a few of the sizes as the site and forum use different sizing conventions in the CSS which I really need to fix.
Sorry to go back to this, but is there a way for me to view the forum in a different font/size?
It is such hard work to read this now and I can't read a block of text more than a few lines long at all, it makes my eyes hurt. Surely I'm not the only one?! Such a shame that something as good as this forum can be spoiled by something which appears to be so simple.
Re: Re: TowersStreet Progress Discussion
Top notch!
Fixed! I uninstalled & reinstalled, and it still did the same, so I did a full restore via iTunes (preserving my iOS 5.1 Firmware) and now it works as per usual.Joel said:Maybe try uninstalling the app and installing again, if that still doesn't work contact Tapatalk Support at www.tapatalk.com as we can't support issues with it.T said:Tapatalk isn't allowing me to log in on my iPad.

Well, strangely, I converted the post text and most other text back to its pre-changing state - so it now looks exactly how it always has done, rather than the brief period (which that post was referring to) when the stylesheet worked as was intended.
If anything I increased the text size slightly on posts also, so I'm a bit confused why this has caused you an issue now as you say
You can change the font of a website in your browser by using a custom stylesheet in your browser (you'll need to google how to do that for your particular browser if they support it).
Font size is simply increased through a menu on most browsers, or by pressing CTRL and the + key on your numeric keypad. CTRL and - shrinks, and CTRL and 0 (zero) resets it back to the website default on the majority of browsers.

The Psychoaster said:Are PM's working, because I've sent a couple yesterday and the day before and have gotten no response?
There doesn't seem to be any problem with the PM system from what I can see, the test PMs I sent back and forth between two accounts were received fine.
The only thing I can think of is that said person you may have sent the PMs to hasn't picked them up yet or had chance to reply to them maybe?
As for the 2 PMs you sent me, the above applies also... I'm unfortunately a very busy person!

Hmmm it seems to be because the YouTube video is included and shown by flash... which naturally iPad doesn't support :
Did they work with the previous mod we had?

I'm fairly sure that they did... At least the video preview would appear and then it would load via QuickTime if clicked.
EDIT: Same thing happens on iPhone. And I'm pretty sure the video preview box would at least come up on the old mod. It's not a massive issue as clicking the link takes you to the YouTube page but I thought I'd point it out nonetheless.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what it is then, I used to be able to read this site clearly, now I can't.
As I type this in the reply box it looks fine, normal, like I'm pretty sure everything did until quite recently. Once it is posted it will look small and squashed, like to my eyes everything does here now. Like this....

....quite a big difference between what I'm writing and mrbrightsides post below.
Oh wells.

I like that we now have event pages for Christmas and February Half Term, but I can't help but feel like they read like advertisements, instead of information about those events?
If it's just rewritten copy from the AT website, it makes the pages here seem a little redundant. Sentences like "Hotel guests can also choose to stay in one six rooms filled with Moshi Monster treats as well as the other amazing themed rooms in the hotels." aren't relevant to the half term event at the park at all.
It seems to me like the only reason people would visit the content here is to find out more about the event which they can't already find on the official website, so could it be written from a more factual approach? - perhaps mentioning that the Feb Half Term event has been running for a few years now, that it runs a more limited selection of rides to main season but offers a lower ticket price. It could also be useful to inform readers that the Monorail and Skyride usually don't operate and the replacement bus service between the car parks and Towers Street.

Great suggestions there, and we'll definitely take them on board and look to give them a bit of a spruce up in the coming days
