Yes - the quick feeding page...
That's strange - I could bet that the font and the Knuffel-images are smaller now.

I tried to put a screenshot on flickr - but I have connection problems.

Edit:
I tried the following: When (in FireFox ) I check the "zoom text only" and the zoom bigger 2 times, the font is as big as I remember it ...
And I never use a magnifying-setting or similar .

say, if I skip the trial knuffel adoption now, will I get the offer again when you release more trial knuffel? I'm not interested in free knuffel for 14 days, just wonder if I will be able to see that screen again, to get the picture of how all 6 knuffel look together

No. If you click on the "I do not want a Trial Knuffel" link you will not get to pick any Trial Knuffel at any later point anymore.

I really cannot say much about this. To me the font looks the same, but it could be smaller. Either way, it still looks very reasonable sized on my screen (absolutely not hard to read at all!), and I am afraid at this point, if it looks too small on someone's screen and we make it bigger, it ends up looking too big/bulky on everyone else's screen and since I haven't really seen many complains about the font, I take it that the majority gets it displayed the way it is supposed to be.
I could say that maybe it was a case of your monitor screen resolution, but mine is already set to 1920x1080, so everything gets displayed really small, so unless your resolution is even higher than that, you should not see the font smaller than I do.

also wanted to ask about the flickering some users complained about. will it be changed? or have I missed the answer?

I am afraid cannot answer this. I have forwarded the complain to starkad, but from there it is up to him.

Thank you for the response, Firn. Hopefully it is something he can give us a solution for quickly.

There are no plans to cycle the Trial Knuffel for now. Right now the plan is to eventually have 6 that will stay in Knufftropolis forever. Maybe at some point I will make more available (in the rare case I ever run out of other updates to work on and get bored ), but the ones that are available won't leave Knufftroopolis again. The other Knuffel will be continued to be added into Knufftropolis like always. Limited in number, once one runs out a new one will be added in its place.
Also, thank you for your lovely and detailed feedback!

Thank you so much for your reply! It means a lot to know I'm being heard. That clears up so much for me! Thank you!

I would like to say another thing I noticed after I posted...I don't care much for the new badges. I'm sure you've heard this and that about them, but let me give more of a reason why I liked the old better than the new.

The old one had a bit more flow to it, a little more creativity feel. A little more inviting and more detail to it. The vines on it matched the ones on the site themselves, something I felt was a great way to connect to badge to the site itself. It made it feel a little more like a fantasy type thing to walk into, a place to explore and follow the Knuffel into so you may find fun and adventure.

However, this new badge is a less inviting and intriguing. It's plain and doesn't seem as creative. Not that I think it's ugly or hideous, just that I feel like it was a bit of a step in the wrong direction. I feel like it needs something else with it, perhaps some kind of abstract floral design or the vines brought in again some how. The plain house just doesn't feel a 'home-y' as I think you were trying to go for. It feels a little odd, as it's just a block kind of design that sticks out of the box of the badge. I feel like...if there was some kind of other thing added to it, some kind of design with flowers or leaves or vines, that maybe it would feel better and a little more like that fantasy thing you had going before. Now it just...seems a little boring compared to the old. Not ugly, just...not as exciting as before.

Also I'd like to point out something else...It was point out to me just a minute ago so I figured I'd share it. On the mass feed/play page, the Event Knuffel's are labled as Valentine, St. Patties, Summer and Doughnight...however, you go onto their individual pages you get something else...

It says Light Gen 0 for both V-day and Doughnight Knuffel, it says Earth Gen 0 for the St. Patties Knuffel, and Water Gen 0 for the Summer Knuffel. I don't know if it's on purpose, but if it's not I figured you'd want to know. I don't know if it's a text error or something not lining up in the coding. Whatever the case, I thought I'd let you know. I definately wouldn't think it'd be on purpose since it says Light Gen 0 for two different Knuffel.

On a positive note however, I love how the Fighting Bonus icons look now, very cool! I think they look very cute ^_^ Also I really like the new 'Gem' you are using for the elements. I did like the star, but the gems are really nice and pretty looking.

Though the water and air are very close in color... I think the water could stand to be a little darker or the air a little more white maybe, that could just be me though. I'm just nit-picking now, sorry~!

As with any change there's going to be things that some people like and other people don't, though there's a few problems I'm personally having and it sounds like a few others are to so I don't feel like I'm just picking on these features. I have good comments as well, but some hindrances are

-Food and Toy Icons-
This is the main one I've seen others talking about, the fact they flicker is really disorientating, particularly when feeding a large page at once. I love the new art style of them but the blinking transition might need to be changed or at least slowed so it isn't such a quick flash.

-Knuffel Generation Display-
This is mostly a consistency error that's nagging at me. When viewing Event Knuffel on the Knuffel List they show up as say “Valentine Knuffel 2012” but on the Individual Knuffel's page it reads “Light Gen 0”. All the Event Knuffel are like this, “Summer Knuffel 2013” is “Water Gen 0” and so forth. The Doughnight Knuffel even showing the same “Light Gen 0” as the Valentine Knuffel which is confusing enough to make me realize this likely wasn't intended.

-Individual Knuffel Page-
I believe something was already said about the green background behind the knuffel so maybe that will be better once there's something else there but for right now it is a big empty space. I can tell something is supposed to be there and that the green is a background to level out (likely sand colored) boxes or whatnot but the contrast is odd for the time being. As a side note I'm loving the knuffel being centered on the page, it really draws your attention to them and takes focus off the stats where my eyes always used to be pulled. Most times I would know the stats before I even say what knuffel I was looking at so that was a great change.

-Knuffel Badges-
I personally really liked the detailing in the old badges, the vines and whatnot looked very professional and creative. I can't however say I feel the same about the new ones. They look more 'solid' and I like the house idea on both the small and big versions but I feel there could be a little more details to make them pop out in comparison to other adoptable badges.

-Loading Icon-
I love the heart, in fact I heart it. I have nothing bad to say about that except that my computer loads a little too fast for me to enjoy it as much as I want to. Lovely touch of detail there.

-Trail Knuffel-
This is a fantastic idea! I know that would have made my beginnings here a lot easier, though still I managed. Regardless I can see this helping out a lot of people in the future and the ability to keep the knuffel you raise or for older members to just buy it outright makes the knuffel very accessible and great for both new members and the old.

-Element Icons-
I love these as well, very pretty. I do find I'm confusing Air and Water though. I may get used to them in time but the two could be given a little more contrast. Another thing bothering me is consistency once more, I'm sure that it's fully intended to switch the icons on Candy Island, and Knufftropolis's Older Generation Knuffel's but I thought I would comment on it.

Thanks for reading and sorry if I came across as complaining too much, I really do like the update overall and the issues I'm having are only minor ones (except for the flashing food/play icons). Great work as always and I can't wait to see what's to come in the future.

Just going to say this: the font on the feed knuffel page is small for me (so are the pictures of food and toys) but no non-knuffel related pages look different.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one

My resolution is 1366x768...it's always been that and the font has shrunk there and so has the knuffel

It's not small enough that I can't read it, but it does bother me....like if the rest of the website became that way, I would have to quit.

Also, it could partially be due to repositioning? Because I didn't zoom in or out, but now the webpage doesn't take up the entire page...so when you try to shove the same amount of stuff in the same area, it'll shrink things in general since there are borders on both sides now (green strips) that I believe weren't always there...though I could be wrong.

I could be totally wrong on the border thing because I'm on multiple websites....it's hard to remember and keep separate which layout is which when it comes to things like that.
