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

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.

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).

(b) which controls the size of quoted items in a thread.

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?

Hey. New board.

Yeah, you'll want to do:

cite {
font-size: 120%;
}

Or some such. I think it must have something to do with whatever monospace font it's defaulting to in your browser (maybe it used to default to a specific font like Courier, first?)

I don't think it matters where you put it. Anything you put into your personal CSS simply overwrites the default CSS, wherever it is. All you need to put into the box is stuff you want to change.

Hey. New board.

As for the font in the posting box:

textarea {
 font-size: 120%;
}

(playing with the numbers, again) should give you changes.

It's funny that we use the <cite> tag for the quotes - not one I've seen used often.

It worked. Thanks, P-C! That is super cool.
