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.

Heh: I'm imagining a "Stealth Buffistas" style where you could put in fake graphics and scatter text thoughout the page to make it look like A Study of Rhibosomes in the Human Genome or Apples in the Classroom: Juvenile Kickbacks and the Fairness of the Curved Grading System or CNN.

I'm taking a glance at the stylesheet and source code now, ita, (at least, the one i got from www.buffistas.org/html/buffista.css) and I'm not seeing how you got rid of the graphics in your personal sheet. A hint to get me started? Mostly just because I like playing with this stuff, not for any particular reason.

I didn't do it on this site, D. A bunch of PHP and HTML had to be changed too, so it's in a test environment.

Though -- getting rid of the graphics was easy enough: img {display:none}

I've noticed fairly frequent double postings. One fix to this problem is to lookup the text of the last post in a thread, take the SHA hash of it and compare it to the SHA hash of the pending post. If they are the same, then don't post the pending message.

SELECT posttext FROM threadtable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1

if (sha1($posttext) === sha1($newposttext)) die();

Also, the SQL could be tightened up even more by limiting the query to only the user's posts.

Detecting duplicate posts is a race condition. Your method might reduce dupes, but not eliminate them, and it would slow down the board.

Is anyone else seeing italics overflow starting here?

I can't for the life of me see anything in the post that would be causing it.

It was her tagline. Cool.

I mean, I'd totally not remembered we'd need tag closing code there.

I come in to find out where the Message Center went, and find discussion of my post! There was a close tag in there, I promise!

Not in your tagline. But dammit! Fixing stuff in the admin console breaks subs. I'm sorry! Will fix today.
