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.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

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.

Hey. New board.
You need to do
.spoiler {color: #817679;}
The color bit is necessary.
