The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
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!
Like I said, I stole it all.
I was thinking that it might be nice to put up a basic cheatsheet somewhere for people who don't read this thread, or who don't realize this has been addressed in the high number of posts here in the last few days (and it would take awhile to wade through them for the tech-illiterate like myself).
Posting is slow for me today, but it is so often slow at work that I'm not sure if it's just me or the board.
