Am-Chau, it was the result of something ita had to do: msbelle "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Jan 6, 2005 8:17:52 am PST (ita's post, not msbelle's, with the same post #).
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Jan 6, 2005 8:17:52 am PST, Am-Chau.
It looks like we can yank variable styles/style sheets from the request list, and mark some other things rolled out ("enforce no posting after the thread has reached 10,000 posts", "fix the missing first post issue"), others completed (but not tested or rolled out) (design Stompy image, an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image, Ability to label bookmarks, Jump to date in thread). I'm also of the opinion that things I wanted better specs on that no one spoke up for should also be dropped due to lack of demonstrated interest.

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

There was a least some interest in this. Why are we dropping it?

ita - is there any html designing that I'm still supposed to do?

From the responses to this: ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Feb 1, 2005 6:28:39 am PST -- if you and others disagree, you need to be louder.
Jon -- did you send me HTML for the the quote pages?
Oh, and we should add the HTML tidying to the list, marked "started" by Gus.

Right! The quote pages! I'll get to it soon.

I'd like to at least be able to set the font to something else. Verdana makes my brain break.

Any objections to dropping the general style sheet request, and adding a font-change request?
I suggest a dropdown list of common Mac/PC fonts, plus the descriptors serif and sans-serif to cover whatever the computer's default is.

I think I've said this before, and I apologize for repeating myself, but I definitely want to be able to change the font/font size. However, I agree with what Cass and others said in ita's link -- I'd use it and love it, but I don't think the board is "broken" as is.
Edit: X-post. This:

Would be fine with me.

LJ, by font/font size do you mean font and font size or font or font size? I.e. (that capitalisation looks wrong) -- are you definitely expanding on the specs in 9454?
For font size -- manual entry of font size? Directives such as "smaller," "much smaller"? %ages? What's the simplest metaphor for the people the least familiar with HTML?
