thanks, Kristen. that definitely looks like the old board font.

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.

Okay, Jon--register and validate have been uploaded. I also enclosed the posts in [paragraph breaks] which is philosophically correct, even if spacier.

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.

Is it the font of the thread titles that's too big? What we need to do is work out which container contains the components you want to alter, and then we can show you how to identify that in the sheet.

If anyone gets all crazy inventive, all sorts of things can be done, including adding graphics, etc. I'd like to see how this first change goes, though. Who knows? It might be possible to make a shareable style sheet, so if everyone really likes what amy is seeing, she can publish and they can subscribe.

Perkins -- I think you want

.post {
  padding-bottom: 0;
}
.postcontent {
  padding-top: 0;
}

ita -- With the p tag now adding extra space, I think these should be the default.

FYI, if anyone wants a pink board, put "background: #ffcccc;" after "body {".
