ita, are the posts as read in thread part of the body? Because when I increase the body, it makes everything in the thread really heavy and dark. I've edited font size and family for the post message box and cites and stuff like that based on questions folks have asked here, but if there is a category for the posts I haven't seen it pop up in here, yet.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I'm seeing quoted text (not the Joss quotes, but the ones that use the less than sign in quick edit) as really, really tiny (as is the typing I'm doing in the add box). Looking at the style sheet, I can figure some of the things out, but I can't tell which ones these two are.
Also, is there a list of font color options somewhere? I'd like to turn my spoilers red instead of white.
ETA, wait, I think I have the last one.
This is a test
Woohoo! I win.
Thanks Jess. I'd managed to figure one red font out using the top-o-the-page quote color, but I found a brighter red with you link so now spoilers flash "DANGER! DANGER!" by their color.
One further question out of curiosity. If someone HTMLs their spoiler instead of quick edits it, it will still be whited out, right? I ask because I was enjoying my new spoiler font in the Doctor Who 4.6 discussion, and then someone's posts were still white-fonted.

this is actually a good idea, Frank. then i could read stuff on the iTouch.

that was probably me. i don't know why, but i'm always afraid of using the quick edits for stuff like that because i don't want to inadvertently spoil someone by not using it correctly. html i get.

Depends - if someone uses t font color="white" to code their spoilers, they'll appear white no matter what your css says.
If they use t span class="spoiler" then they'll look like your css-customized spoilerfont.
I love that the board is now CSS. I haven't spent any time restructuring my CSS, as, like Jesse (and others) I like the board just the way it is, Verdana and all.
But I still think it's awesome.
Oh, quick question: When I go to edit my personal CSS, the field is empty. That's fine, right? the only things that should appear in there are changes I make, yes?
That is correct, Sean.
I am willing to bet that I am the only Buffista who reads the board in a text-based browser with tables but no CSS capability (in my case, w3m). So I am perfectly willing to bite the bullet for maintainability's sake.
That said, the shift away from semantic tagging and toward [div] and [span] for everything is pernicious, and obscures one of the most useful bits of HTML.
Congratulations to all of you CSS-tweaking fiends; I'm sure the site looks lovely in graphical browsers.
