"this" is indented, quoted text for me. The rest is normal post text. On Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows. (Don't even ask me what OS or version. We are in the middle of upgrade hell.)

Hey. New board.

I'm not 100% certain I'm using it right, but it looks the same to me (that is, not monospace and not indented) and I'm not seeing the monospace styling at all, using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Chrome.

My CSS inheritance tree looks like body {} from buffista.css (nothing interesting), then body {} from 1220.css (must be my user style, yeah?) then eventually blockquote{} from "user agent stylesheet" whatever that is.

The only places I can think that might have an effect are my own font-family line ("Optima", "Verdana","Helvetica","Arial";) or the "display: block" line from my user agent stylesheet.

Where in the CSS tree should the monospace setting be applied?

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

Can we take % this to BBABB++? I totally meant to point the convo over there. I'll answer over there, Gris.

Is the cross device syncing automatic and reliable with Opera? I'm not thrilled with how iCloud handles my bookmarks.

I've never had a problem with it. You need to set up an Opera profile and point all synching devices to it--I have two Android (phone and tablet), and two computers (Windows and OS X), and one iOS.

That's pretty much how I'm set up with Safari, although not cross-platform. I kind of miss having multiple OSes, sometimes. Anyway, I have been annoyed at how editing my bookmarks on one device may or may not propagate to the others and there doesn't seem to be a way to access bookmarks directly from iCloud and force them to do what I want.

Eta: ...and I am already in love with Opera mini. Why have I not been using it all along? Sometimes I don't understand myself.

Does this: [link] look reasonable for a touchpad that doesn't click anymore? I feel like I'm hammering it to get response.

Or should I take it in for repair?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Don't buy a Cisco (Linksys) router. Also, if you have a Cisco router with a model number of E2700, E3500 or E4500, be sure to read this:

Cisco’s cloud vision: Mandatory, monetized, and killed at their discretion

Linksys built its brand on reasonably priced, widely compatible routers with decent performance, idiot-proof setup, and a few frills at the upper end of its product mix. As of last week, buying a new Linksys router means being forced to adopt a “cloud” service that offers no benefits, allows Cisco to snoop your Internet history, and gives the company the power to control access to hardware you legally purchased.

Hmm. I have an E3200. I will at least look and see if it's set to automatically update in case they're just gonna get around to this model later.
