I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

ita/Jon, would it be feasible to load the default style sheet into the "custom css" box so we can see what the various defined styles are called before we start tweaking them?

That, or a link to it, would be spiffy.

Go, you guys! Thank you for all of the work.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Including the default css would be great.

If we're talking about the same ugly line,

#footer { clear: both; text-align: center; border-top: 0; font-size: 90%; margin-top: 1em; padding-top: 1em; }

makes it go away. It takes the "0". You can make it less ugly by increasing margin-top.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I know nothing about CSS, so I can't use the "Edit personal CSS" link. But I'd LOVE to make my font bigger.

(I already tried just increasing the font size in my brower's preferencesm but that makes the fonts too big.)

What Teppy said. I was just coming in to ask for a CSS for Dummies or something.

Edit: Weird, the font size in the threads themselves is fine, but the main screen font is smaller.

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

The link to the new stylesheet is [link]

Guys--this is why I asked for input before I changed over, so there'd be fewer surprises when it actually happened. No one who checked minded the line, so the line came over.

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

I see now that my complaint about line weirdness was really that stupid gray line coincidently aligning with the line underneath "Read New | Message Center", etc.

The text in the left column looks odd, although I can't put my finger on why. The font seems correct, unless maybe it's a point size too big, but the spacing seems off.

Another vote for providing the default CSS so people can see how it can be edited. Goodbye, Verdana!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks ita, for everything.

Also, I am sorry for the whining now and not checking the css earlier--I thought I'd been keeping up here until this week, but clearly I wasn't.

'Xactly. I think I've found a fix for the line-iness. I did it by moving the posting box and the jump & search forms from the footer into the main section. My fix is up at css.buffistas.net, if anyone wants to take a look.
