Could you use 2 sheets at the same time? Like 'Stealth' AND 'Large"? For I am blind AND need to hide.

I don't understand the request. What is "stealth"? Do you want everything to be in white-font?

I think Stealth is work-friendly, ie, no pictures of folks to scream that you're on a fun site.

There aren't any pictures of folks now. So what needs to be changed to meet the request?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In ita's mind stealth == no colours or graphics, period.

Ah. Mmm.

If ita's mind is correct, then that's not a stylesheet change so much as a mode change. We'd have to make show-no-graphics an option in the user profile.
Or the user could log on in lynx.

If we do get stylesheets, it would be great to be able to get a smaller font on here.
Also, I see no need for user pictures. On the profile pages, I don't have a strong argument against them, but I always found having pictures with every post ugly and distracting on fora where they're allowed. (Except LJ, but there's a whole Cult of the Icon there, as well as size limits.)
I apologize if this is a silly question, but how would "search by email address" work? I would love to be able to find someone's email from their user ID, but I'm not crazy about anything that would work the other way 'round.
I would love to be able to easily create polls on here. Voting does somewhat mitigate the need, but they'd still be fun and ocassionally useful.
Am neutral on taglines. I suppose if I designed a system from scratch they wouldn't change, but I'm used to them being gone with the wind.

Can't you tweak a stylesheet to make the img tag not actually display? I'd rather, in this pass, just concentrate on what we can control with CSS.

If I only had a brain...
In the teaching-my-elders-to-suck-eggs department, Panix just got hacked; somebody stole their domain address.
From Slashdot:
What seems to have happened is that somehow the Australian registrar "melbourneIT.com" yanked the fully paid-up registration away from Dotster (where Panix had it) without any notice whatsoever (this violates all the relevant RFCs for the Shared Registration System and the current ICANN policy *and* seems to indicate a severe bug or security problem somewhere in the registration system).
A recent ICANN change makes this possible.
ANY domain registrar, not just your registrar, can switch your domain over to somebody else if you don't respond within 5 days of being warned. To prevent this, you need to ask your domain name registry to put REGISTRAR-LOCK on your domain name, so that it's not transferred without your giving explicit consent to *your* registrar.
I'm sure you guys are way ahead of me, but I wanted to put out a heads-up just in acse.
