It appears that the edit and delete timestamps are overwriting the post timestamps. I don't remember seeing that before.

Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, good point. I'll look at that in a sec.

Should be all cleared up. Good catch, dcp.

For documentation purposes I diagrammed out the CSS as it currently stands on the two main pages:
Doing so has shown me some inconsistencies and redundancies, so I may be making some changes in the next few days. I'll outline what they are here when I do, but they shouldn't break anyone's CSS unless they were getting really fancy.
And if anyone *is* getting really fancy, I'd love to see what you've done, especially if you've moved elements around the page.

Okay, and here are the containers diagrammed out--it's very busy, but most of those containers are being used. It may be possible to clean things up with inheritance, though. That's what I'm going to look into.
What are people who've tweaked the CSS changed? Spoilers? Background and text colours? Fonts?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I've changed the spoiler font color and page background color (which is how I discovered that the message center graphic has a white background)

I'm all "there's a graphic on the message center page?" I dropped all the images out of my style, so I have nothing but the buttons. It's my work-friendly (ironic!) stylesheet, with less colour and fewer pictures.
All those title graphics have white backgrounds, don't they? I mean the edit and delete, etc. They'd probably look pretty messy with a transparent background on a coloured page. Such is the limitation of GIF transparency.
I wonder how extensive PNG transparency support is these days.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The Buffistas.org logo in the left corner seems to be transparent. The buttons don't bug me because of the outlines.

Yeah, the only one I notice looking odd is "message center"

Really? What colour did you switch your background to?
Huh.
From poking around on b.net it seems that edit, etc, have backgrounds too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's a pale grey. (I always used to turn my screen brightness way down because the white was really white, so, given the opportunity, I went with something less bright)
huh.
