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

Maybe John will have insight into that. I'm sure it's to do with font sizes in the style sheets.

Personal style sheets are on the phase two wish list. Mozilla does let me override as far as typeface goes, but I'm pretty sure Jon hardwired the font sizes in the style sheet.

If I only had a brain...

That wouldn't be good.

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

But why won't IE let the sizes be overriden? I'm pretty sure Opera will, since it even resizes graphics for you.

Is there something we can change in the style sheet to let IE have some control back?

At WX, I used to try to slip into the spoiler thread and read only the Angel spoilers. That didn't work too well! No big loss - I'm better off not having spoilers anyway. If I do get spoilers to share, I'll slip them to a spoiler slut so they can post them. (Even though I don't have a source for scripts anymore, I'm still hoping to get an occasional one or two, and I always cave and read the Angel ones early.)

Maybe the spoiler board split question can be added to the FAQ (unless it's already there and I didn't read it - in which case, I feel like an idiot!)

By the way, thanks to everyone involved in making this board! It's fabulous!

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

If the stylesheet uses px to determine font size instead of pt, IE won't resize.

Yup. Checked. Pixels. How terribly literal of IE.

Did you just fix the fonts? Cooooooool.

Hmm - is it too soon to start listing possible mods? I know it is too soon for yoiu to work on them - but should I put them here now to be considered later? Or should I wait until later event to submit for consideration (which is th way I'm leaning).

Y'all are amazing. Ita is a wonder woman.

Q: There's no search available inside a thread, correct? Will that be added later? (as a drive-byer who can't keep up with the volume of posts, it's handy to locate topics I want to follow within a thread.)

How come when I click Read New, it doesn't read that this thread has new messages?
