Same here. I hated the font. Did enjoy the extra Naq though.
I had no issues with my buttons, but I just tested switching between classic simple and additional graphics. No buttons on classic.

Re: Courier New

I'm guessing it cant be helped. Folks wanted Admin to do something about the scripters, this works although it slows the game down for all. Its much harder implementing a decent image processing algorithm into a script than simply scraping the HTML.

Now if Admin wants to go crazy with it, he'd put the naq amounts down similarly to those captcha codes. So it could've been worse :smt047

But agreed, speed of the old system would really be nice...

Now I'm sort of dreading it, sort of curious to see what it would be like...

The font is not much of an issue, to be honest (although I wonder why it had to be changed - was monospaced the only viable option?); I really hope, though, that something can be done about the speed issue. It's not very slow for me, but it is painfully slower than it used to be.

Re: Courier New

Well it seems that when the naq amounts, and army size didn't load, I went and turned off additional graphics, and then forgot. Quick change and they're back.

On the change for images as numbers, is that entirely necessary? Is scripting that big an issue vs a universal speed decrease (not to mention if someone is on a slower connection).

This should probably be moved from the bugs section (as it's obviously not a bug) and to the discussion on updates.

Re: Courier New

I thought my pc is going bonkers. The font is **Filtered** but acceptable. But the loading time is way too slow. Why ruin something that has been going on so well? :smt021

So now loading speed is more important than limiting scripters? Where did that outrage disappear to? :-k

I am just playing my own game. I dont usually talk much unless I find it very annoying. Needing 1 second for each line to load is bad for blood pressure. Surely there are other ways to prevent these scripters :-)
