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.

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.

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.

You need to do

.spoiler {color: #817679;}

The color bit is necessary.

There have been no style sheet changes (right, Jon?) since yesterday.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing when I open it. Maybe it's just formatted differently, but I don't remember font names on every row:

p, li, td { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal}
tt { font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono; font-style: normal}
h1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}
.biggertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.smallertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.nametext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold}
.tagtext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold}
.titletext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal}
.logintext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.plus-sign { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}
.specialpost { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}

I haven't touched it.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing when I open it.

Weird! I suspect that's a browser issue. What browser/platform are you using?

Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP.

When I open the stylesheet, it opens it with a different program (MS Development environment), not with IE, probably because it recognizes the .css suffix.
