How cool does this image look?
It brought good memories, and I actually really like the design.

It was much nicer also without the "White Supermarket"

> really like the design.

As I recall, when a new home was set up, it was agreed to use the same software as the place before.

Yes back before the world-wide-web-kindergarten-insanity started.

I'd still like an answer to this:

But at least there's a work-around. Here's how I see the site:



...thanks to the ability to inject css into one's browser. I posted my original css to remedy the adolescent look a while back, but have since tweaked it to be much better. I only know Windows (not Mac) but you can plug this in to Google Chrome or Firefox, (and you should be able to use this similarly in Safari on a mac):

body {
  background-color:#e8e8e8 !important; /* sets page background color (RGB) */
  font-size:128% !important; /* sets the general font size here */
}
h3 {
  font-size:120% !important; /* this affects some headings font size */
}
h4 {
  font-size:120% !important; /* this affects some headings font size */
}
hr {
  display: none; /* gets rid of some of the blank space */
}
div.container-padding-bottom > h4 {
    margin-top: 3px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
}
div.container-padding-bottom > p {
    margin-top: 3px;
    margin-bottom: 3px;
}
div.row > div.col-md-6 > p {
  margin-top: 0px;
}
div.row > div.col-md-2 > p {
  margin-top: 0px;
}
div.row > div.col-lg-3 > p {
  margin-top: 0px;
}
#boardindex_table {
    padding: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
}
#boardindex_table > h3 {
  margin-top: 0px !important;
}
div#boardindex_table > div.row > div.col-lg-3 > p {
    /* background-color: #900000; */
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}
td.subject {
  padding-top: 0px !important;
  padding-bottom: 2px !important;
}
.message_container {
    border-color: #d0d0d0;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px 0px 1px 0px;
    padding-bottom: 4px;
}
.message_container ~ .message_container {
    border-width: 0px 0px 1px 0px !important;
}
div.message_container > div.col-md-9 > div.postarea > div.flow_hidden {
  background-color:#d8d8d8;
}
div.postarea > div.post {
  margin-top: 2px;
}
div.postarea div.keyinfo > h5 {
    margin-top: 2px;
    margin-bottom: 2px;
}
div.postarea > div.post > div.inner {
  padding-top: 0px;
}
div.likes_box {
  font-size: 1em !important;
}
blockquote {
    padding-left: 8px;
    padding-top: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    margin-bottom: 4px;
}
div.pagesection {
    padding-top: 8px;
}

Vintage EQ before and after the current web insanity

Oops forgot to apply the proper low-constrast.

is that the mastering version;

Inject css into your browser is easy to say but how exactly do you do it?

it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change. The new  is fine for me even though there is nostalgia for the old.

No, that's the Fisher-Price signature model.

There's a plug-in/extension called "Stylish" for both Firefox and Chrome, but you don't even have to use that for Firefox. You can use the built-in capability of the "userChrome.css" file in FireFox. Easy Google search will tell you how to do either.

Sad when something changes for the worse for no apparent reason. After 25+ years in software development, over the last couple years I've asked many expert and veteran coders and designers all over the world, "Why the huge fonts? Why all the wasted space? Why the low contrast?". Not one person can answer the question.  If it has something to do with "mobile," it's backwards thinking -- the larger and more spaced apart everything is, the less you can see at once, and makes you have to scroll around a lot more, which hurts smaller screens the worst.

The scrolling thing really got crazy in the last years, it's tiring and anoying

I don't know what you are all griping about, but with Firefox set to ignore a websites original formatting, and use my own colors, it looks like this for me, clean and concise in black and white:
