User blog comment:Kirkburn/Finding the latest activity on your wiki just got simpler!/@comment-20644-20091104173037

This is really, really ugly. The old widget that was there showing the last two or three recent changes was much better. It didn't stand out as much, which is good. Always better to use the KISS method (keep it simple...you know the rest =P) when you're doing stuff like this, especially when it's done without any sort of head's up to the Wikia community to see what their thoughts are BEFORE putting up this sort of feature. Thankfully, since I don't like it, I was able to take it off the side bar and put it onto my Widget Dashboard.

In regards to the large vs. small fonts thing, the Wikia audience may be expanding beyond younger demographics but I don't think you really need to be concerning yourselves with making features geared towards 80 year olds who can barely see. =P The majority of people who use Wikia are always going to be younger. That's just an obvious fact. I think you need to cater to them more than you cater to the minority, which may be older folks. If they have trouble viewing something, they have the option of enlarging their screens on their browsers.

Why make ugly changes to your own features when they're capable of making it larger themselves?

EDIT: Or maybe I wasn't able to get rid of it. It just moved it to the bottom of the widgets. Ugggghhh...
