I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Hey tech stompies - I haven't been able to get to [link] for about the last half-hour. [link] is working, but is verrrrrry sloooooow.

Will log in Bug Tracker as soon as THAT page loads..

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Also, the server has been up for 350 days. I think a reboot will help things a lot, too.

Oh hey, as soon as I posted that, things got speedy again!

Clearly I should complain more often.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Things have been speedy for me this afternoon.

ita, alt.buffistas.net works just fine. Thank you so much!

What is the deal with alt.buffistas.net? How is it different from buffistas.org?

Trust my rage

So, I just copied what megan had and I like it. But since I have an iPhone I'm very curious about how to make the spoiler font show up in a different color. I read about people doing it but I kind of need to copy and paste.

Any helpers?

If I've got it figured it out, it's very simple:

.spoiler {
color: #FFFFFF;

Just replace the color code with the color of your choice.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Yes, but can SOMEONE tell me which piece of this controls (a) the font for the box you are typing in (and if it's a simple % change or something else) and (b) which controls the size of quoted items in a thread. The whole "childrearing thread" thing in bureau confused me for the longest time because I'm seeing quote font as tiny font. It's incredibly annoying (and my eyesight, unfortunately, is noticeably deteriorating in a way that reminds me of my age in a way I really don't like).

cite, dfn {
margin: 2px 4em 2px 4em;
font-style: normal;
display: block;
}
cite {
font-family: monospace;

I believe.

so, do I just stick that at the end or does it have to go somewhere specific?
