Next hypothesis, put the <pre> tag outside of the <font> tag.
What happens now, I wonder?
edit: That works in Netscape!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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

Okay, if you want to combine the <pre> tag with a <font> tag, the <pre> tag must come first, or the <font> tag won't work in Netscape.

Q. Is jengod really a goddess? A. We like to think so. She was the mistress of the original Buffista web pages on Geocities, the impetus behind our multiple redundancies, has divine knowledge of the industry, and is incredibly quick with a shooting script quote. And have you seen her interview with Andy Hallett? If she's a goddess, though, she's the lovely, modest and benevolent type, not a bimbo Hellgoddess.

Is there any way for the Phoenix to keep track of open tags so it can close them all at the end of a message? That way if I mess up and forget to close one, only I look silly.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Jengod's page has been down for a fairly long period of time; she mentioned it upthread, but I suppose it wasn't fixed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
rtsuk, there's been some talk of that. I believe it may be In The Works, at some point.

Has there been any talk of a preview-before-posting function? That would be really helpful.

I think the edit function takes the place of that, Cindy. But that's just me.

First of all this is a great board. And I hope the programmers understand that any suggestions are of the "We will cheerfully live without it if is too much to ask, and will cheerfully wait years, if it is not a top priority".
But I have very bad eyes. And don't think it is really esssential that the composition box be at the bottom of the page with the last few post above it. I would like a full screen compose button, that would give me a full screen edit with a large composition box, and a large font.
I know there are ways I can work around it now, increase the font in my browse and reduce it again after posting. Or compose outside my browser and then cut and paste. But having large font message composition available right on the board would be very handy. I might demonstrate my "Typo Boy" superpower less often.
