testing… for some reason lowercase G’s look more like lowercase Q’s on forum pages with this new vB software.

Yep, just like I thought. On the front page, before you enter the thread, lowercase G’s and Q’s DO look the same. I am assuming the underscore is “eating up” the curl of the G, causing this phenomenon.

Mind your G’s and Q’s!!! 😉

Yes, the underlining is indeed obscuring the curlly part the g’s tail.

To verify, I set my IE text size to maximum and the curly tail is no longer obscured.
