A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Finally starting to catch up with all the requests.
From Tom Scola "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Sep 19, 2002 8:45:36 pm EDT
The text entry box, and the instructions above it, and the "post message" button, should all be left-aligned in the middle column.
If we do this, the text entry box will have to be about 25% narrower, like the one on the edit-your-post page. Otherwise, folks with low-res monitors (640x480) will have to scroll right, which is a big usability no-no. Is a narrower text box an acceptable trade-off?

Is it possible to add the HTML that makes us able to do the pretty links to the lovely HTML instruction pop-up?
Done! Also added to the how-to page.

I've just noticed, when trying to make an HTML list come out as
A)
B)
C)
that I can't, because Jon B's set an override for all List Items in the style sheet to
list-style-type: disc
Removed!

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

Whatever happened with that issue of font sizes not being able to be overwritten by browser preference? I thought I read a post where that was resolved, but now I can't find it. Was I supposed to change something in the style sheet?

No -- not resolved. It's the pixels in the stylesheet.

Well, changing pixels to points (i.e. px to pt) does not work. I just tried it and all the text got HUGE (I'm using Mozilla). If anyone knows how to fix this, I'm all ears.

Pixels and points are different size things, so you have to change the numbers too -- I've always just used trial-and-error until the sizes kinda matched. (The other problem is that points are read much more varying-ly across browsers and platforms, so it's a lot harder to get the board to look pretty for everyone.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Proportional sizing. IJS.
