Sans-serif is fine, as long as it is verdana and not arial or something like that....

on second though, this really is spam, as we all can change this via the vBB menu so there's no purpose for this.

I'm a designer, and from what I read researches said that the most easily read font on computer screens is sans-serif and the most easily read on paper is serif. So the only thing MarkG can do if there is enough support and he thinks this is important enough is to make the Print template convert alll font to serif.

I prefer the way that the sans-serif looks on screen as compared to the serif, but I just need 500 posts to get my own Avatar.

Not yet. But looking back, I may have been mistaken about it. I'm going to troll my way over to that thread and update it. Feel free to join me.

Does it really matter? You can even specify your own stylesheet if you really feels like it. So even though I think sans serif is better, which is what we are using, this is really spam
