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

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

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

That would be fine with me.

LJ, by font/font size do you mean font and font size or font or font size?
I meant both, but I don't know programming. It wasn't meant as an expansion on the current request, though.
For font size -- manual entry of font size? Directives such as "smaller," "much smaller"?
I think "very small", "small," average," etc., is probably easiest. In my possibly non-representative experience, the numeric point size needed for comfortable reading can vary from font to font and program to program, and percentages can be frustrating.
