Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

DX, if you want something to truly disappear, you can try { display: none}. That's where my quotes and images went, to make my page as work-friendly as possible.

Hmm, Jon--it's be possible to make the coloured borders around the buttons CSS instead, and then my pages could go totally monochrome.

Just an idle thought.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

.edited-by { color: #FFFFFF;}

suh-nerk.

I have a whole new thing to be cranky about! I've tweaked the spoiler-font color so I don't have to select it with the mouse, and SOME PEOPLE have been hand-coding the color instead. Ahem.

(In all seriousness: if you're going to fiddle with the background color and you don't want to be spoiled, change .spoiler {font-color} to match!) (And use the spoiler-font shortcut, whether you're css-tweaking or not.)

Interesting... I could redo all the buttons in photoshop as greyscale. Something to put on the wishlist. I'm burned out from all this Sunday coding.

Hey. New board.

Do the buttons even need to be images? Can you make entire sized divs clickable?

I know! I've occasionally gently brought this to people's attention, but habits are hard to change.

Instead of making new images, what about replacing the graphical buttons with a button style class? They're a little disconcerting now that I have no verdana, red, or square corners anywhere else.

That's probably possible,but it would require even more coding changes.

Hey. New board.

Hmm. Could we use <span class="spoiler"> inside our posts to make spoiler-font? For people that hate quick-editing for some reason?

This is a test of that idea.

Edit: looks like "span" is edited out. So much for that...

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

never mind-- I know what happened.

Yah, that's the way to do it. Add it to the wish list!
