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

Okay--is there css stuff from css.net that needs to come over?

Looks like threadsuck is already fixed, yes? Then just showthread.php

I believe it was Verdana, 14px.

I've taken a look at the CSS, and I don't know what to change! Everything is in percentages, and the only mention of font is an entire family.

note that this is a fix that ita needs to do. It's not a css change!

So I should leave the CSS alone for the padding issue?

Jon, can you also have a look at validate and register.php?

The font family hasn't changed. All you should need to add is:

body {font-size: 14px;}

and see what happens.

So I should leave the CSS alone for the padding issue?

I would say hold off until ita fixes the paragraph tag issue. Then see how things look.

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

huge and grateful thanks to ita and Jon and DX

I had nothing at all to do with it.

The good news is that if you really don't like something, you can change it!

I must have missed the day in Interface Design class where "user friendly" was defined as requiring users to hand code css sheets to get things to look right.

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

t 2 cents

I completely get that some/most of the extra padding is not a CSS issue (and thanks for finding a fix), but I do think the tinkering I did made the board look better to me and might to others as well. It didn't fix the longer posts, but it helped with the one paragraph ones by getting rid of some extra white space.

t /2 cents

Never mind (given Jon's post)

to get things to look right.

Define "right".

Er, now there's padding at the beginning of posts too. Between the tag and the first line of the post. Every post.
