@conceptDawg added a style picker, in case you weren't liking LibraryThing's choice of fonts on updated pages.
Just go down to the bottom of the page:

And click "Change Style" to get

Additionally, Talk now jumps you to the first unread message, not the last read. To make this work, links now look like
this, with "unread" at the end)

This is a challenge inasmuch as Maine is about 5000 km and an international border away.

>1 timspalding: Thanks for working on this. However, I'm still sometimes being dropped somewhere above the last unread. I'm using Windows 10, Firefox 82.0.3. This is an example of a link that dropped me on the lengthy link above the last unread: https://www.librarything.com/topic/324816#unread

>9 NinieB: I've noticed this too. I think it was working correctly yesterday but it seems to have reverted overnight.

That link is only going to work for you, since most of us won't have read anything in that thread.

What would have been useful would be "It did not work correctly when the first unread message was #xxx in this thread. It did work correctly when it was #yyy in this other thread." But just giving a thread is not actually very helpful.

>12 NinieB: Thanks. Found the issue there and I'll push the update within the next day or two (it's caught up with some other changes that I'm making that aren't quite ready to see the world yet).

You can put the money directly into my Cayman Islands account.
A serif version is now available as option "E" in the style picker.
