Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Lose the colon after the word spoiler.

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

What she said, tiggy.

Is there a commonality to these sometimes, sumi? It's supposed to be there in exactly the cases it was supposed to be there before.

No, I don't know what the connection is.

sometimes lines/pixels/whatever in the columns will disappear for me, but if i scroll up or down past them and then back they show up. that happens with pretty much any site i go to that has css though.

Yes, it's like Beep Me, etc. are spoiler fonted - they appear when I mouse over them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

from your design POV is it important to have a visual difference between the verbs (read/message center/maintain) and the links to the more static or less-used pages--would you have them be different classes still?

No, actually, I think it's better, design-wise, if they're the all the same class. I'm not sure why we ever made them different.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've noticed that too but if I scroll over (or mouse the page up and down) they stay re-appeared.

Hopefully we're not too cutting edge (ha! as if, ever) with the CSS, but it looks like we're bumping into cross-browser interpretations.

I'm not sure why or how everyone read the same piece of paper and wrote such different code--it's such a lovely idea.

Jon, when you get a chance, can you have a look at the left-hand panel on css.net? The HTML is generated the way I think it should be, but the effect on the formatting has about a double indenting of the list elements and it lacks the former harmony.
