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

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 {".

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.

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

Jon, thanks for the spacing fix. FWIW, I ended up with:

.post {
padding-bottom: .5em;
}

because 0 looked too squished to me.

[Ooh, css xpost with ita! I feel all smart now!]

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

I know you aren't ignoring me. i'm just being whiny. i'm probably the only one who reads the board by using the Buffistas Home link.

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

really? it changed the main page for me too. weird.

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

Hee. I was just coming in to say I tried Jon's fornula, but went with .25em instead, because I know how to do that now.

Thanks all!

I think it changed the main page now too. I'm not sure why it looked the same at first.
