Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Both t strike and t s are deprecated, but t s works in fewer browsers, so it wasn't included in our list of allowable tags.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

I can't figure out how to use style sheets to change the look of this place. Was that implemented? But I can't figure out how to do it at all. When I tell IE to "use my style sheet," what should it look like? BODY tags, STYLE tags, or is this enough?

{font: 20px verdana, arial, geneva, sans-serif;}

This doesn't do anything (I told IE to ignore fonts specified by web pages already.)

Are you ready to be strong?

Now the "body" part of the search engine isn't working for me aTALL. For even one word. I tried words that for sure would be in people's posts. Like, I just tried "ita" and got 0 hits.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Rio, ita won't work because it is only three letters, and the search only searches for four or higher, I think.

Aha. Well I do still wish that one day we will be able to search for phrases.

One day, my child, one day.

Jon, I had a wondering thought about scope and classes. If each post was in a div of class "paratext" or something, would a dangling t i or t b be able to leak out? I know that t p is supposed to be a div level tag, but not all browsers treat it that way. I was wondering if they kowtowed appropriately to t div itself.

And, to note that it's much easier using the quickedit t than all those <s I'm used to.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Just tried to use t div class="normaltext" around a post with an open t b tag on a dummy showthread page. In IE6, the rest of the posts below were still bold. Oh well. Nice idea, though.

Hey! The quotes have episode titles now!

Might I suggest that it credit both the name and number of the episode? e.g.:

This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.
Snyder, Buffy 3.22, 'Graduation Day (2)'

I think that's too much, really. Other opinions?
