Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Not a major issue, but did anyone notice the font has changed on the Ancestry Trees. It also seems to have bolded the names too. I think it makes them harder to read and concentrate on. Any way I wonder to adjust this?

Agreed - I'm not fond of this new appearance myself either.

Yes, I noticed too but it didn't bother me. It's across the site, not just in the trees. Seriously doubt they'll offer a choice of fonts. I don't see anything in the settings.

Hadn't actually seen it. Just went in and looked. I like it, clearer in my opinion.

I like it better myself--find it easier to read. I also like the gray background, at least it turned gray on my screen.

I didn't mind it at first but can't work on my tree for as long now as the contrast starts to annoy my eyes.

You could try a Chrome extension like this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/font-changer-with-google/jgjhhoglgjdklldfgoffdiaceffijeke?hl=en
