Just wanted to let you know. I've been using the css version whenever I remembered, and it really works well. Even lighter and faster than the old board. The only bug I've run into with it was when I posted my vote. I suspect that was a relative addressing issue, with the form expecting a different source address. So in that case I had to use the old board, but everything else has been great so far.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Yeah. That's my bad. There's no mirror of the "votes" folder in the css version. I should've used the absolute address.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is there a high res version of the Buffistas logo I can have?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is it possible to move the header text up a bit on the home and message center pages, maybe have it wrap around the fan support graphic a little bit? There's an awful lot of white space in the middle of the top of the page. It's not nearly as bad on the thread pages, mostly because it looks like the thread header text is wrapping around the graphic. That's not happening on the home page. I realized the column layouts are different, but I think it would look better if we could adjust it somehow.
eta: And now that I measure more carefully, the thread header isn't wrapping, but the top of the header seems even with the bottom of the graphic, whereas on the home page there a noticeable gap twixt the two.

Also, could someone take a look at the stompies mailing list? I just tried to send something to the list, and got a message back denying it exists. The administrative interface for the list seems to be working, so I'm not sure why the error.

Unfortunately, the way the page is currently structured, that change would require significant coding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For people who read and post from mobile devices, how could the board be better tuned for them?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Do you mean permanent changes to the site, or changes to a mobile version of the site?
If the latter, it would be easier on my BB to load and scroll if the top graphics and the left hand column were stripped out on all pages. For the home page and thread pages, stripping out the description/rules of the thread would simplify things.
Which is not to say that this board isn't easy to read on my bb, because it is.
