My assumption in reading this thread for the last couple of weeks is that the changes were going to be to the back end to speed things up. Then the map showed up. I didn't realize that we were going to scrap all the old pages. I should've read closer, apparently.
As far as the css site goes, I knew it existed, mostly because Jon would mention it once in awhile. I had to threadsuck this thread Thursday or Friday to find the link to it.
My concern is that simply stating, well if they don't like it they can fix it, doesn't especially work if the they in question don't know how anything about css in the first place.
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.
P-C, I changed my personal CSS to this and it made the board look more normal to me:
body {
font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial;
font-size:11pt;
}
I can deal with all the other changes, but i'm really missing my "Buffistas Home" link at the bottom of the page. </diamond shoes pinching>
ETA: thanks, Kristen. that definitely looks like the old board font.

No such changes have been implemented or even scheduled. I think I brought up the css site for feedback first about a year ago, and then again a few months ago. I checked Press, and I didn't do it there, and that was wrong of me. But I did do it here, because I got answers here. And anything that came up here was dealt with.

No problem! It took me a few tries to find what looked "normal" on my screen. I also changed the ".edited-by, .deletedpostcontent" and ".tagtext" to "font-size: 70%" because they seemed a little off to my eyes.
Okay, Jon--register and validate have been uploaded. I also enclosed the posts in
t p
t /p
which is philosophically correct, even if spacier.
DX-these changes had to be brought over before any larger code changes because trying to maintain two different trees was too taxing. I mismanaged the larger scope of the beta testing in terms of warning--that should have been earlier.
In a few days I'd like to see what changes people have made in case there are some that bear implementing sitewide in an attempt to bring the site closer to 9:59.
The only problem I'm having is I can't decide on a favorite font. Maybe I'll just stick with Verdana...
Tiggy, I don't mean to be perpetually ignoring your lack of a footer. I'm just trying to work out why it didn't make it over the first time.

Given this, is there any way to get rid of what (to me) seems like too much white space both before and after the post text.
This is what I have in my CSS-- it seemed to be helping more earlier than it is now.
post {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
border-bottom: solid 1px;
}
I also tried it with .25em instead of the 0, with no discernible difference.
What is the screen that comes up when I click Read New and there are no new posts to read? That's the one I want to fiddle with the font size on.
