And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The exact wording & menu placement will depend on what browser you're using.

On Firefox (on a PC), it's under Tools-->Clear Private Data-->Cache.

On IE, it's Tools-->Internet Options-->[Temporary Files]-->Delete Files-->Delete All Offline Content.

Thanks Jess - I wasn't doing that last step. However, it's still not looking right. It may be something to do with our security here at work; I'm not sure. I can learn to live with it if it stays this way.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I feel like an idiot, but never having done anything resembling programming since college Computer Science. Which was 25 years ago this fall:

If I want spoiler font to show up in a color other than white, I click on "Edit personal css." Then, in the box, I type in (or C&P from P-C's post)

.spoiler {
color: #FFFFFF;

replacing #FFFFFF with the color code of my choice (from P-C's link). Correct? My computer won't explode?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

You'll need to close it

.spoiler { color: #FFFFFF; }

Thanks, Deena. Let me give it a try.

Trust my rage

Fred, that's exactly what I did. I didn't even close it and it worked fine.

This whole experience reminds me of when I first arrived at this board and realized that I would have to learn some HTML if I was ever going to post a link - initially painful but ultimately a good skill to have.

Fred, that's exactly what I did. I didn't even close it and it worked fine.

Please close it. Someday, you may be using a browser that (correctly) ignores your css addition, and you'll spend way too much time trying to figure out why.

Trust my rage

Oh, I did later (and just doubled checked). I had no idea what I was doing at first so I was just copying and pasting but eventually I noticed (in my spoiler problem last night) that there was a missing }.

Did the style sheet change since yesterday? Because when I opened it here at work, it looked completely different than when I opened it on my home computer. For one things, I don't see any % or what looks to be formatting. Also, every line has a font indicated. Weird. I wonder if this is causing the problem I'm having getting the screen to look right.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I set it up (including closing), but I'm not sure I did what I wanted to. I'm trying to set it up so I can see spoiler font without highlighting, but in a different color so I know what's in spoiler font. I now have the different color but I still have to highlight. What I have is

.spoiler { #817679; }

, but I'll probably experiment with color.
