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!

Is there a way to make the breadcrumbs appear on the same line as the rest of the navbar without changing <div class="breadcrumbs"> to <span>?

Default font is Verdana, quote font is whatever you have defined as your default monospace font (which is almost always Courier, but could be different for some systems), and the posting box (like forms all over the web) is determined by the browser rather than the stylesheet.

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

.breadcrumbs {background: none;}

Thanks!

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

Though you can style it if you want, at least in Opera on the Mac.

Try top:0;, although if they overlap, one will sit on top of the other if they're still divs.

Actually, you can in a bunch of browsers now -- it's just been so long since I've tried that my head was still in "you're stuck with the default" mode. Duh. More css to play with!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

.breadcrumbs {background: none;}

I tried that, and it didn't work. I put it right underneath the other codes that started with periods. I still see the yellow box.
