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

css.net will be around for a bit while we tweak issues here. Use alt.buffistas.net to replicate the buffistas.org experience, although I expect you won't be able to see the map, and I'm not yet sure how to fix that.

alt.b.net is working for me at work as well. I'm using it right now! (AIFG)

Nope, no map. I can live without it at work.

I've been playing a little with my CSS, how do I make the font bigger in all the links? I've made my post font and cite font larger, but I'd like to make the links font a little larger, too.

Which links?

The left-hand links and the bottom/top links for read new, etc.

The higher up you want the changes to take effect, the higher up in the hierarchy you make the changes. The biggest container you have is body so if you increase font size there it should flow down.

I don't think I did that, I know I changed the font family. I'll give that a try, too.

Though if at any level below that container the font size is specified explicitly, in pixels, it will override the higher injunction.

In pixels! Ah, I tried what you said and then everything else became too big (links are great now, BTW) and percentages wouldn't fix it. So I need pixels instead of percentage? I will play with that and see what happens. Thanks, ita!

See, if you need everything big, make it bigger at the body level and remove the size increases at the lower levels. It's the most efficient way to do it.
