Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

$224 is probably managed hosting, where somebody is else paid to manage the server. I'm saying probably as I've no clue of the situation, but $224 is ball park for a very decent spec server with fully managed hosting from a big company. From my experience, I paid on average (over the last few years) $70 a month for the UK and US Serenity sites, with registered user numbers at the low 5 figures. I've got it down to $50 nowadays by ditching some of the really old content and moving back to shared hoting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone come up with a fix for the posting box position on IE in the css version of the board? I'm stumped.

Try changing #postmessage as follows:

#postmessage { MARGIN: 1em auto; WIDTH: 505px; TEXT-ALIGN: left }

Works for me in Firefox 2, IE 7, and Opera 9, all in Windows XP.

Thanks. Marked and noted. I'll try getting that changed before I leave for work.

Not that many people tried it out, eh? Perhaps a wider-ranged call is required.

Oooh, I just discovered that css.b.net isn't blocked by the employer. I think I'll be reading and posting from there for a while!

Did I give you the link so you can enter your own CSS and have it saved? I should track that down too.

I don't remember getting that. Yeah, I'd like to play. I still think the user taglines are too big, but overall, it looks great!

Do your own CSS. It doesn't replace the current style sheet, but is loaded after it.

Mine looks like:

body {
  font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;
  text-align: left;
  font-size: 20px;
}

img {
  display:none;
}

#quotation {
display: none;
}  

.emphasis {
  color: black;
  font-weight: bold;
  }
  
.tagtext {
  font-style: italic;
  font-weight: normal;
}

.calloutbox {
  border: 0px;
}

#threadlist {
  padding : 0 1em 1em 1em;
}

.section-header {
  color: black;
  font-weight: bold;
  border: 1px solid black;
  background-color: white;
  font-size: 110%;
  text-align:center;
}

#adminthreads .threads {
  padding: 0 5px 1em 5px;
  background-color: white;
}

#folderlist {
  border-bottom: 1px black solid;
  text-align: center;
  padding-bottom: 4px;
padding-top: 3px;
}

.folder-title {
  background-image: none;
  display: inline;
  font-weight: bold;
}

#linkpanel {
  padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;
}

cite {
  padding: 5px 5px 5px 25px;
  margin: 25px;
  background: url("/images/l_quote.png") no-repeat top left;
}

#footer {
  border-top: 1px solid black;
  padding-bottom: 1em;
}

#widemain .section-header {
  border: none;
}
