I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

[moved to Buffistechnology -- I just noticed it's happening on more than one site]

Hey. New board.

Oh it definitely does Tom.. Posting from it now. Just could be even better

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

everytime I click on a NAFDA thread I get the NAFDA FAQ.

I went ahead and moved the slug NAFDA's to the end of the slug for the main page NAFDA threads (Bitches and fic). Does that look like it's going to a) solve the clicky problem and b) still be visible enough to be useful?

If it's a go, I can change the tv folder threads, too.

I like it! Definitely will solve the clicky problem. (Which I've had a few times this weekend, being on my mom's laptop using the touchpad.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Nobody complained, so I moved the tv thread NAFDA links, too.

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

I've been tinkering with styling the site, so that it can be reasonably easily skinned.

Just to show you guys the sort of thing that's possible:

Now, I have no idea how this will be implemented -- me, I'm tweaking a personal style sheet by hand that's laid over the style sheet that gives you this. However, it lends itself to simple modifications like font change, image removal, and font size changing, all of which I've done in the above examples.

FYI.

I'm getting 404's on all those links, ita.

Check again, Sue. I forgot I was posting from the test site. URLs should be good now.

Oooh, it's even more work friendly. I like it.

So, the customization would be limited to certain things, like font and font size right? I couldn't have blood dripping from my B.org logo if I wanted.

No, no extra blood!

Actually, my modifications do require an extra graphic, so they're not something one can implement without web space.

The current requests are font and font size. Since my boss once walked up behind me at my desk and asked about "That Buffy show" gesturing to my screen, I thought a graphic free version might be useful too.

But giving a selection of pre-made stylesheets and allowing someone to set their own base font size/style/other small tweaks are two different mechanisms, and I'm not sure how they'd play together.
