It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Depends on the browser, Robert. Not all allow [user stylesheets].

Well, sure, but some browsers ignore stylesheets altogether.

(I spent an hour last night trying to figure out all of the CSS2 tag proximity indicators, the >s and #s and such. Headache.)

Whoa. That's what I've been doing in my spare time, too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Are you all playing with the style sheet right now? All of the sudden, My view of this page seemed to change. The text in the box is no longer courier, and the thread titles are just the same size as everything else, as are the upper right hand quotes. It looks almost like changing to 'user' mode in Opera, but I am in Safari and I didn't change anything.

OK-- as soon as I posted it went back to normal.

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

Database server just hiccoughed -- no need to report.

Question. And let me note that I feel all my questions must be preceded by groveling in the presence of those who built this lovely board. So, groveling now.

OK, done.

What I wanted to ask is this: I know the search function is still in beta, but will it eventually enable us to search the archives as well? Or is it supposed to be doing that already? 'Cause it's not.

Knut, that request isn't currently on the table. Off the top of my head, it would be a big deal.

Looks like someone might have submitted this site to search engines. If I google my or Dana's tag (for instance) it shows us at the top. Relevancy ranking's a bitch ... it's the Firefly 2 thread. My hit is a page with Tim, Dana's are a page with joss and one with Allyson's "no pickup" announcement. I don't think that's much of a coincidence.

Still, I'm doublechecking the robots.txt to keep the threads out.

Anyone know what's up with JohnH? His website's down.

Thanks for all the fish.

Googling my tag brings nothing. Just FYI.

Don't know, SA. Samspade says it doesn't exist.

Elena, have you posted in Firefly?
