I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Will updating the profile change it for all board records tied to my registration?

Yup.

Let me know if you have any problems with changing your address on the Somervillains list.

What is even happening?

Thank you. I think I'm all set, DX. I subscribed with the new account, and unsubbed the old account. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and I got the appropriate email.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

but why are people opposed to Verdana?

I dislike the way it looks. I think it's ugly, and would prefer to use a different font.

Personally, I don't find it ugly, but I do find it necessary. Either it, or something like Arial or Tahoma are optimum for me. I'm partially blind in my left eye with a funky distortion of my vision that takes straight lines and curves them in wierd ways. Once you add any kind of serif to the font, I'm not going to say I'm fucked, but it becomes very hard for me to read and gives me headaches. At least with the sans serif fonts, I have some hope of reading the board with minimal problems. I still get eyestrain, anyway, but less of it.

Edit: Oh, and if CAPTCHA is where they put in those really funky distorted random letters/numbers as a way to verify you? I hate those with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

Sail, the idea is not to remove Verdana, but to offer a way for people to use whatever font they prefer. If they like Verdana, they can keep it.

I can get behind that. Or in f(r)ont of it as the case may be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, my post font just got all big here. What did I do? I have no click wheel, which I believe is a common cause of this.

Edit: Never mind. My google-fu remains strong.

Your tag here.

Yeah, I'm picking nits, but this needs a period at the end of the sentence (from RQG):

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I know it's happened to people before, but I'm not sure what the fix was: the board keeps logging me out.

ita, you'll have email saying the same thing, but I was just unable to reach the board for a couple of minutes. Here's the error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PRINT, expecting T_STRING in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/quote.php on line 289
