Hey. New board.

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

amy, that makes spoilers in quotes difficult. Hmmm.

Something to note: If you don't want the list of folders at the top of the index pages to be one per line, you can add display:inline;. To remove the triangles before them, background-image:none;.

For what it's worth. Made my pages a little shorter.

Well, we can leave it in pretty simply. Consider it done.

Hey. New board.

Nice! It works now.

So now I can create "spoilers in quotes" without manually entering the font color. Nifty. Now, how to educate the masses about that...
