I can put passwords on the zip files to make them more difficult to get into. Would that suit your requirements?

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

No, no, don't put yourself out, but you're kind to offer.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Jon -- will there need to be any changes to the current style sheet to prep it for being overriden by user-selected fonts and font sizes? Changing it from point sizes, or making everything relative to some single starting point?
Are we allowing the changing of font size or just the face? I thought it was the latter. In any case, last time the idea of switching to relative font sizes came up, I did some research and determined that the current stylesheet methodology of explicit point sizes was best in terms of browser compatibility. I suppose I should just try out my sample pages with various different fonts in the stylesheet and see how they look.

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

The current request is for both.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't really know much about this stuff, but can't people change the size with their browser? Or is that only some browsers?

If you change the size with your browser, you have to change it back when you go to another site.

I'm suddenly having odd problems where if I just go to the main page (b.org), it's fine and fast, but if I'm in a thread, and try to click on the "message center" link at the bottom of a page, it tells me it can't load it. Is this the board hating me? The wireless connection being freaky? Or evil, lurking?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
A couple of days ago, DX asked if anyone was finding that some messages got skipped when you post, so that when you post something you only see the post immediately before yours, instead of everything new.

It's happened to me a few times lately.

Hmm. That's not the same as what DX described. Can you tell me which post of yours triggered that?

OOps, you're right. I haven't seen it just on clicking on a thread, but maybe I haven't been paying attention then.
This morning, I got cat-rupted while I was typing this Lee "Natter 32 Flavors and Then Some" Feb 19, 2005 9:36:51 am PST .
The last post I saw before I started was this: kat perez "Natter 32 Flavors and Then Some" Feb 19, 2005 8:39:13 am PST
but when I finally posted, it only showed me this JenP "Natter 32 Flavors and Then Some" Feb 19, 2005 9:20:15 am PST and my post, so it skipped 8 posts.
eta: I am pretty sure it has happened before, but I wasn't sure until this morning.
