Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't like it, I think it will be too easy to click by accident, but I don't have a suggestion for improvement.

Logically, I think it needs to be grouped with the thread title.

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

I think it needs to be grouped with the thread title.

Which is how it is now, but I think navigability trumps semantics in this case, and we should save the user having to scroll back to the top of the screen to use them.

This is my preference, too.

The pale yellow is up. Un-outlined it's almost invisible on my laptop.

It's just so barely in between visible and invisible that it hurts my eyes. It makes me think I'm seeing spots.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to admit that I am not personally a fan of the yellow boxes, though I can see how they would be helpful as breadcrumbs.

Is there a way for individual users to get rid of them via CSS?

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

Perkins,

.breadcrumbs {background: none;}

I still want mine left-justified but {align: left;} and {text-align: left;} don't seem to be working. (I think they're being overridden by .navbar.)

While we're on css - what fonts are people reading the board in? I'm not 100% satisfied with anything I've tried so far (Verdana, Tahoma, Calibri, Arial).

[eta: Hm, Helvetica seems nice.]

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

Jess, see if float:left works for the breadcrumbs.

more complicated than just the float: change text-align in both the class and the id styles, and the float, and change the positioning so it's defined by the left side instead of the right. display:none is so much easier.

#breadcrumbs { 
  text-align: left;
}

.breadcrumbs { float: left; left: 0px; text-align: left; }

and Lucida Grande

I'm reading whatever's the default. I think it's Tahoma. (courier for quoting and in the posting box)

Heh - true.

But thanks for the float advice anyway!
