Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

For space at the bottom of the post, you need to change the padding-bottom parameter of the .post class. It's currently set to 1.5em, so

.post {
  padding-bottom: 1em;
}

will make it a little less blanky.

Teppy, this should do the trick:

.formpost, .editpost {
  font-size: 90%;
}

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What I mean is this part:

.formpost, .editpost {
width: 505px;
height: 175px;
}

Is there a place in there I can indicate that the font needs to be bigger? Because what I'm typing right now looks like it's about 6 pt., and it's killing my eyes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Funny -- I really think everything looks pretty much exactly the same as before. When I first came on this morning, I was expecting the posts in here to end up with saying we were switching back to the old style.

I haven't tested this, but

body { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }

should do the trick.

Worked terrific, thanks. Serif fonts look much nicer to my eyes.

Jon, I tried what you indicated, and I'm still getting teeny-tiny font as I type.

Oh, sorry! If you want it bigger, try:

.formpost, .editpost {
  font-size: 120%;
}

Okay, apparently I just needed to make it 100% instead of 90%. It's all good now.

Are the line breaks essential to the formatting?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The gray line of doom still shows up at the css site for me, by the way.

Which line is this? Was there always a line between the Read New--Recent links and the posting box? Is that new?

The text in posts feels bigger, but I don't think it's actually bigger. I'm not sure. It's weird. Something is different, but I don't know what. Was there a font change?
