'War Stories'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I have a suggestion...
In the profile center it would be helpful to have the "OK" button at the top too. I like to change my tag a lot and it would be nice to have the button right there instead of having to scroll past all the other things just to get to the button.
As opposed to what? I had a reason. I don't remember what it was.
Probably Netscape support.
I think you're right. Looking at that Wiki, while they tend to recommend the "Ems and Percentages" approach, it's the px approach that is most consistant between browsers.
I don't know if this helps with the speccing out or not, but for record, I'm in favour of being able to change both the font and the size; what Verdana looks good at is not Times New Roman's optimal size, etc.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate that CSS support across browsers is such a crapshoot?
I was just reading the section on style sheet switching, and then it got to the point of lack of support and then I cried.
Okay -- where are we:
As opposed to what?
Ems are ideal for accessibility (and would take out the need for smaller and larger styles), but harder to make the page look just right.
Even if you stick with px for the body text, it's a simple matter to make everything else a percentage relative to that.
(Which, looking up-thread, faster typists have already said.)

Something a little odd. I just did a refresh of the index page, and the "Firefly Spoilers" thread appeared at the top with a message count but without the number of new messages.
I made the same mistake in book club. At some point (threadsuck this thread to see when) all the threads ate some funny code which caused one new post per thread to contain the same number as the previous post. So if there had been no posts in FF spoilers in awhile that would be what caused it to move to the top with no apparent new post. Or something like that.
