Testers needed over at test.lfgss.com

Can you spell it out for a layman: will the "live" login link my e-mail account to LFGSS?

Yes and no.

No, because in no way does it publicly do so, it remains unlinked to the world, even to Mozilla Persona.

Yes, because internally LFGSS already knows an email address for you and your username, and so internally LFGSS could already log you on using the email and figure out your username.

I suspect you're asking the former thing... in which case no.

I get an error page when I try and change my username from user6247

^ you probably reserved your username by forking over money at the start. It will be tied to the email address that you associated yourself with when handed the money over.

Exactly that, if you used a different email address the bug is that the error page isn't telling you the username is taken.

the font's too big

The font is normal sized, but traditionally forums have had pathetically small sizes.

e.g. a forum like HackerNews https://news.ycombinator.com/ has a font size of 10pt

10pt is equivalent of 13px.

In the age of Retina and high DPI devices and screens such font sizes are miniscule and over time getting smaller. Some devices (mobile) handle this well and adjust them to a normal size automatically, some (laptops) handle it badly.

The font is the right size if you can sit comfortably back and read with ease rather than be hunched forward with your hand on your chin.

The font is the right size if for the space it's given there are somewhere between 60 and 120 characters per line. The ideal number is 75.

On Microcosm the characters per line is 114 (on average, for that font), which means it's as small as it should be for the space provided, and yes you can sit back and read comfortably.

It's different rather than the wrong size.

When using the 'updates' page

I get this for example: http://cl.ly/image/2H2d000r0v3n

Whereas I have already read the message there, even if i click to follow through to the message, then return to updates, the alert is still there

Definitely a bug. We happen to know about that one, but would still appreciate it being logged on the github issues page.

Looking at the events page;
http://test.lfgss.com/events/2/#comment4499
I read the event location as a 'heading' for the list of people attending, I think it could do with more leading (ha!), or else be moved somewhere else?

Definitely a papercut, it's not yet logged. Please do so, it would be really appreciated.

And finally, is it a 'feature' that all the pages within LFGSS now show the page title 'LFGSS' or will they be updated to show thread title, which makes it a lot easier to navigate a load of tabs

Also a papercut. We could and should fix that, could you log this bug too please.

Opera ver. 18 and Chrome @ Nexus 7 2013 tablet - fonts are childish big and the text has a different typografi that is big and difficult to read [compared to www.lfgss.com].

Tested Chrome and it looks fine. Will grab Opera and test there too.

If you end up here (by accidentally pressing the mysterious and far too close to the username unlabelled logout icon, for example) http://test.lfgss.com/logout/ then that is where you return after clicking on "sign in or register", thus logging you out immediately again.

A bug, we should really take you to the home screen. Could you log it please.
