Thank you for sharing. :P Signed up.


Also, it looks like they took my advice about the font-family. :hrmm:

Cool!  :hrmm:  What font was used before?

PS: How come the Flight logo in your screenshot is much bigger?

EDIT: Ah, maybe your screen resolution is smaller?

They were using Times New Roman before (serif font), they changed it to a sans-serif font (smooth font).

And everything is the regular size. In fact, I shrunk the image a little bit. If anything, the logo should be smaller.

[Edit] If it's any help, the logo they use is 776px wide and 188px tall.

Very interesting because the logo in your screenshot looks quite a bit bigger than what I'm seeing when I view the site.

Umm, you are not part of Pwn247's and my conversation. If we want to discuss it, we can.  :hrmm:

:hrmm:

It is the exact same size as in your image.  It just looks bigger because he is zoomed in on the screenshot.

Looks like you also have to sign up for a Windows Live ID, which I'm not prepared to do at the moment. :hrmm:

You will need one anyway when Flight comes out to use multiplayer or even use it. Besides, creating a Live account is not a tragedy. They don't bug you at all, and no hassle.

If you want to keep a particular conversation private then take it to the PMing system. Otherwise this is a public forum.
