Here are what some admins have to say about the update!

"So... notice anything different? 

The changes you see today are the result of applying consistent CSS (style sheets) to the entire ROBLOX.com site in order to establish a more consistent presentation throughout. This means a uniform use of fonts, font sizes, icons etc. (The old site wasn't particularly consistent about all of this.)

We're doing this to establish consistency, but also to provide the groundwork for us to expand into multilingual versions. This means the elimination throughout the site of button text images: e.g. the "Post Reply" button in the forums used to be an image (the text was part of the image); now the text in the button is "live" and can be adapted to whatever language we want to use. As we are in the process of launching our German site and are evaluating further country/language sites, this change is necessary.

Now that the style changes are live, it is apparent that some tweaks will need to be made, especially to font sizes (in order to improve readability). We'll be making those changes in the next day or so, as well as evaluating whether the icons are as clear of purpose as they ought to be. Thanks to those of you who have chimed in about readability; I agree: the tiny fonts make my head hurt, too. (And yes, we'll also be changing the point size of the font in the edit/message form.)

I should point out that today's updates are *not* the changes I alluded to a few weeks ago -- we're still working on new functionality for the forums overall (looking at reinstating the top poster system, greentexting, siggys and so forth -- but it's premature at this time to say exactly what will roll out and when; we have other stuff in our development pipeline that will be rolling out first).

It's a baby step. But a needed one.
Thanks for your patience while we complete this work.

"Many of you are noticing that we are implementing a new set of forum icons. Some of you are seeing this off and on as you load pages of the forums. That's normal: the changes are being effected across our webservers so it will take a bit of time before each and every server is updated.

We know the new icons might look very different to you if you are accustomed to the old ones, but these new icons are clearer, sharper and more accessible to our international users. We hope you like them! - MasterChiefAlpha"

Personally, I do like the new icons, they are very fun and.. interesting.
