Article Template for Free Republic - With Instructions for Usage (BLOCKQUOTE gone; thank you, John)

For rolling up stylesheets to test with, it would be good if the thread had some BLOCKQUOTE'd text in one of the replies. I didn't find any. Also, an example of highlighted text would be helpful.

Can't help with the highlighted text (can't get it working with any style sheet/browser combo), but here comes an example of fr_quote (do load something that recognizes it for effect; without it, you'll just see something that looks like it's been <br>'ed):

This is a test of the fr_quote system. This is only a test

This concludes this test of the fr_quote system.

Glad to report that outside of the header font situation (and a minor quirk or two like having to specify a border color for fr_quote and not having hover), NS 4.77 even handles threads (like the one referenced in #71-note to the unsuspecting; the link presents the thread in Forum 3.0 format) in Forum 3.0 format that broke with style sheets in Forum 2.0 format.

For your new style, you left out some of the buttons which used to appear at the top/bottom of the screen:

"[ Last | Latest Posts | Latest Articles | Self Search | Add Bookmark | Post | Abuse | Help! ]"

While most of those aren't there yet (Forum 3.0 is early beta, after all, and currently exists to John Q. Freeper within the confines of Forum 2.0a <G>), three of them are. The top/last functions are the first and last numbers in the "<<<  1 - 21 - 41 - 61 - 81 - 101 - 102  >>>" sequence at both ends of the page. The "bookmark" link is at the top of the page. The "report abuse" button has been enhanced and appears as one of the choices after every reply.

Of course, all of this is subject to change :-)

Wish I could operate right on no sleep; the thread linked to was the one refered to in #79, not #71. On that note; I'm calling it a night.
