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

Yeah--there's some shorthand there, and it's doing no one any favours. Why don't you assume that there won't be any shorthand in it, and I'll take it out? And then maybe Jon can verify I actually accomplished it.

Also consider that I think there should be a separate page that describes containers (better terminology than block, IMO, since block has an explicit CSS meaning) both in general HTML ( t div and t span and the like) as well as our own classes and IDs and styles. So hopefully we won't be pushing people down the view source pathway.

Okay ita, I can do that.

Sounds like a plan.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you guys so much for doing this! I, for one, really need it.

I will note that I am thought of as a computer genius at work because I know how to use Microsoft Office, and when I think of you guys and your computer geniusness, I have to laugh!

Trust me, I'm blushing. A whole lot of cotton wool going on up here.

Jon--I had another thought about the right hand panel. I guess this is where people who may have extensively customised their CSS shoot me, but, well, might as well test the krav training. Maybe no one got that far.

Philosophically, should each thread in, say, Site Administration be a list element, potentially broken into spans to accomodate the formatting needs within the title/slug combo? As it is, each one is two divs.

Of course, in that case, the list of threads on the front page should be a thread element, and that starts getting unwieldy...

The board is reeeeeeeally slow for me today, both getting on a thread and posting.

Perhaps. Seems like overkill at the moment.

I'm getting carried away, I realise. But I don't want to spread the CSS tweaking over too wide a timespan.

This is weird. I put Maryland in my profile, and the Buffista Map thinks I live in Springfield, Virginia.

Or maybe it thinks I should move there.
