And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The only problem I'm having is I can't decide on a favorite font. Maybe I'll just stick with Verdana...

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

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.

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

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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 {".

hee

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

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 put that in the box, and nothing changed at all.

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

Okay, but THAT worked. Heh.

Oh, wait, it DID change stuff. But in the posts, not the main page.

I think size 12 is a little better. Size 11 was too small; the tag font definitely looked weird.

Jon, I think .postcontent having a padding-bottom of 0 didn't look good. I set it to .5.

Wait--I didn't copy over any changes you made to fix the line issue. Why don't you edit over there, and I'll copy over.
