It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

I suppose GOG renovates one chair at a time then.

After the change I had to increase font size in my browser...I think the old one was more clear...

Yeah, the new one is definitely smaller and harder to read :-(

HypersomniacLive: Someone's fiddling with it, changing the css every now and then, for most part of the day. I've just added my own, as I find the new font horrendous to read.
How do you do this? I'm finding the new font awful - terribly hard to read.

EDIT - just changed the settings in Firefox and am now back to a readable font but would still be interested in how to add my chosen font via css. Thanks.

It just changed for me too. I'm using Ubuntu, however, and it may be different from one on Windows.

I have Firefox installed in another account where I sometimes do cross-browser testing, and last I checked about personal stylesheets for Firefox I didn't find native support for that. Regardless of native support there is likely an extension available for applying CSS to visited pages.

I use Safari and it has basic support for stylesheets, meaning I can choose one file and it's applied to every visited page. That's in its "Advanced" panel of its preferences. Also there is the option to show the "Develop" menu which also enables "Inspect Element" with secondary-click (such as Control-click).

For the stylesheet I have noticed many of GOG's pages have in the <html> element a rather unique attribute, for which I use the attribute selector:
[ng-app="gog"]
For the forums, that attribute doesn't seem to be included in the <html>. However the <body> element for the forum pages seem to consistently have the class "page_forum" so I use that as part of CSS selectors. I tested the following CSS with success. (It has two selectors separated by a comma.)
[ng-app="gog"] body,.page_forum{font-family:-apple-system,"Helvetica Neue",sans-serif!important}
Both selectors targets the <body> element because the font-family is set for that element in GOG's stylesheets. However, the font-family set for the body simply becomes a default inherited by other elements inside the <body>, which means it won't have any affect on an element which has the property directly specified for it. Another selector would need to be added override if that happens, by directly selecting that element.

BTW, both -apple-system and "Helvetica Neue" have more font-weight values than just normal and bold, though the former seems to be smaller for font-size and the latter more narrow. Picking a font-family like that gives me more options and so I end up using just one font instead of a mixture. (And of course, the -apple-system value is for only macOS, and perhaps only Safari.) Keep in mind that usually only the first font-family is what is used, except for when a character doesn't exist in it, which makes the other font-family values fallbacks, just in case.

EDIT: IIRC, Internet Explorer also has a preference setting for choosing a file as a stylesheet. Perhaps these default browsers for the operating systems have such a setting for accessibility reasons? Such as acceptance for government use? Might be why I haven't found the same settings in other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, etc.), though it seems to me they all have an extension system (which I don't use or test because extensions or plug-ins can't be reliably expected as installed).

Here's a screenshot of the same posts for comparison. This is what it looks like for me now. Yours seems closer to what I used to see.

I wouldn't mind if it wasn't half the size of the old one. It's extra infuriating because the new post window still uses the old font.
Posted April 12, 2017
I'm not adverse to the new font itself, though it could be a point size or two larger. It is odd however that, at least in my modded-up install of Firefox, that it only appears in posted messages but not in the edit box, preview message, or header/footers.

But then we have often said that the most consistent thing at GOG is inconsistency. :)
Posted April 12, 2017
Yeah, the current font is too small to read. Is there a Greasemonkey script to change it back?

It's the same on a vanilla profile (minus the preview, obviously), so it's just GOG being consistent at being inconsistent. ;-)

Good god this font is small.

How do I fix this in Chrome?
Posted April 12, 2017
Some sort of a temporary fix (at least for Firefox): download Stylish and create new style containing this:
@-moz-document domain("www.gog.com") {
body, .text_1 {font-family: 'Play' !important;}
.post_text_c, .quot_text, .topic_s, .pages, .text_1 {font-size: 14px !important;}
}
Font-family and font-size are your choice.

Edit:

Should work with Stylish for Chrome. Create new style with this:
body, .text_1 {font-family: 'Play' !important;}
.post_text_c, .quot_text, .topic_s, .pages, .text_1 {font-size: 14px !important;}
and add www.gog.com in domain section below.
