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.

Trust my rage

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

That worked gris (120 was a bit large, but I put it at 100). I'm watching it work now! Isn't technology fun?

Excellent - and the cite change worked too. Thanks!

Also, thanks DX for reminding me of Trebuchet font.

Cool--I just made my quote font blood red!

I can't decide if i want to change my spoilerfont to a bright color or just leave it. Frank, was it you that changed your's to bright red? are you liking it? or are you finding it hard to skim through things you don't want to read?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not even remotely Frank, but I'm really liking having the spoiler font in a fairly pale gray -- it's low-contrast enough it feels a bit whisper-ish and I have to actually stop and read it if I'm skimming past; a bright color feels like it'd be too loud for spoilers, especially in the way they're used conversationally (if that makes sense).

But the best thing is you can play around with both options at will!

thanks, amych. pale grey is probably a good choice. hmmm...i guess it's time to play around.

I love it because if I know I'm treading in the rare territory I don't want to be spoiled in, I can move past it. But I'm mostly spoiler neutral - don't seek them out, but usually don't avoid them.
