Hello everyone, we just pushed some fixes to the forum design to make it more compatible with our new brand / homepage. Let us know if you have any feedback (though this is mostly cosmetic)

Ever since the last update this globe button appears but it doesnāt seem to do anything. Just gives an error. I think it is supposed to translate text but it hasnāt worked yet. See image:

I really disliked the new font in the front page and internal my apps and my plugins, but I didnāt cared there because I donāt read too much there.
But today when the font was set in the forum I was reading some stuff and I immediately thought it was an issue, then I realized it was the font in the āmy appsā page and it would be a permanent change I felt a little bit of terror inside me, āso this is what Iāll read from now on?ā.
Iām always positive with pretty much most changes you do and Iām liking the redesign, everything is smooth. Except the font. Itās just horrible.
Of course Iāll change the font via browser extension called Stylus, the same way I use Dark Reader to change the forum to a dark mode, however this font is terrible to read.
I say this for others who arenāt willing to speak up or change the fonts via custom css in browser extensions and will just use the forum less or not use it at all, and also to try to stop this font from breaking into the app editor as it broke in into the forum since it may be tougher to mess with fonts in the app editor.
Please give us options or just change the font. And speed up the dark mode in Bubble editor 
I really want one there.

I had this bug too, already reported and they took it in. So I think that you can report it too or just wait. Donāt know.
Yeah. The font bothers me too. I just didnāt want to say anything. 
Hard to read. Hurts my eyes.

Love the new redesigns it makes it look fluid and match the main site!
Thereās something to be said about the trend towards adding weight for readability, on that front itās better. I donāt like squat fonts personally, theyāre a bit more difficult to read, and this one is a bit squat - though I think itās manageable doesnāt negatively impact readability for me. Thanks for your efforts on modernizing the whole look.

I use Barlow font for all my apps - slightly rounded and low contrast. Hereās a side by side from your terms
vs.
Iām not a big fan of the new font either. The readability is not great.

Would have to agree with Duke on this one. Iām a big advocate of readability and equal proportions. The new font in places reads okā¦ but when used in headlines, it looks a little odd.
FWIW, +1 on the new Bubble font/styling for me. I donāt have readability issues w/ this new font personally.
I agree here, the font is terrible and it hurts my eyes to read through it. I think thereās a good reason to revert back to Open Sans, Arial or similar fonts.
I think itās fine, and it fits well with the Bubble redesign 
. It will take some getting used to, though.
Yes, there may be, but it wouldnāt fit with the new Bubble design, so 
. You could probably use an extension and change the font.
- Just a thought along these lines - is the font being smaller in lists a new thing?
Or am I just imagining things? Not sure what the reasoning is, but Iām not sure I like itā¦ Another quality of life improvement: why would the font size in the editor be smaller than in the preview?
Indeed, something weird with the CSS. We just pushed a fix.

So fast - hats off to you guys. I was worried for a few months that Bubble had lost itās personal touch, the reason I signed on in the first place. Founders on the forum pushing fixes in real-time, THATās the core of the Bubble advantage.

Iām fully agree with Duke!
This makes a big difference, and even add more value to the platform.
Sometimes, there is a days when frustration takes over, because things canāt be changed immediately or other challenges on the way, but reading an updates from @josh or @emmanuel, itās kind of back to course with a big hope for upcoming stability and features.

To answer your first question: I like the new brand font.
However, the forum set up is a bit weird currently:
- a list like this is ok
- it displays as it should
- even further indents
- if you add bullet pointsā¦ wellā¦
- everything is tiny
If you put some code. Then the font grows to rather large size.
- Except if you use
it in a bullet list
bold looks great
italic is ok
- bold looks great, but small hereā¦
- italic is ok
Could you make the code block a bit more evident?
