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

I just tried "buffied," which is the font we used for the site logo. That was ugly. It doesn't scale down very well.

Thanks Jon. Go ahead and delete the existing file. I can recreate it, and play some more.

OK. Try it now.

Also, the "edited by" text in posts that have been edited is way too big.

Problem solved:

.edited-by {
  color: #FFFFFF;
}

Hey. New board.

Looking through the CSS: What's the purpose of putting "font-size: 80%" in the "admin-threads" section? It doesn't appear to be doing anything, since the "thread-desc" and "thread-title" sections are both overwriting it...

Also, does the # in front of its section mean anything? I admit to being only lightly familiar with CSS.

# is for id, . is for class.

"font-size: 80%" in the "admin-threads" section?

That controls the size of the left-hand thread titles on the front page & message center.

Do you mean the right-hand ones? That was my initial thought, but in my message center, at least, they appear to be exactly the same size as the ones in the middle.

Thanks, Jon!

Oops, yes - right-hand. Stage left. The admin threads.

Both the center threads and the admin threads are set at 80% in the default stylesheet.

Hey. New board.

Oh! NOW that makes sense. Thanks!

I have successfully banished all white from my b.org, replacing it with #EEEEEE. With the exception of the "Message Center" image, which uses white instead of transparency for the background.

Oh, I should probably edit my .spoiler to match my new background too.
