I'd like to turn my spoilers red instead of white.

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

If someone HTMLs their spoiler instead of quick edits it

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.

If someone HTMLs their spoiler instead of quick edits it, it will still be whited out, right?

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.

It just took me over a minute from hitting "Post message" to seeing the post.

(And again on this post) (Editing taking about 5 seconds)

Board is running a bit slow for me today too - not just for posting, even for reading.

I am feeling very tech-tarded and confused. Are there instructions somewhere? The board looks basically the same (which I like! I like how it is) except not exactly. And seems slower. Although I've skipped a lot and maybe this has been addressed?

Hopefully this won't screw up the board, but here is what I put in my personal css settings (that I mostly stole from Kristin's posts I think), but my board looks close to what was there before.

body { font-family: verdana, helvetica, arial; font-size:11pt; }

#footer { clear: both; text-align: center; border-top: 0; font-size: 90%; margin-top: 1em; padding-top: 1em; }

.edited-by { font-size: 70% }

.deletedpostcontent { font-size: 70% }

.tagtext { font-size: 70% }

ooh! Thanks, Megan!

I feel like I should have known how to do that. dag I hate feeling stupid!
