Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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.

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

I suspect MS is "helping". You should be able to download the file by right-clicking the link and open it in notepad; that ought to get you the file in its actual state.

Nope, still not getting the same stuff in the style sheet. I'll just have to email the one I saved as a word document at home and see if I can use that.

Woot! Copied in the entire style-sheet yesterday (with modifications) and now everything looks right.

Jon, if I change my spoiler CSS to a blackout bar, like:

spoiler: {
color: black;
background-color:black;
}

it also messes up things in my left linkpanel. Can we lose the spoiler style up there without breaking anything else?

How's that? Palatable? (eta: the blackout bar effect is kinda cool. I just have to add some more margin on the right side, for some reason. It looks like the CIA went through the site with their sinister markers)

Sure. Just add another class to the main css sheet that makes text white, and change those two +'s to use it instead of using the spoiler class.
