I like my design choices, but few people agree with me. So let 'em do the job themselves. ;-)

Seriously, I really do like the idea of a customizable Free Republic. The more gadgets that can be tweaked, the better, IMHO.

My job will be to hammer together an HTML guideline to coordinate HTML usage. Such as using <EM> to highlight, and <I> for italicizing. Or coming up with something different (like using a CLASS="hi" for highlighting.)

Hay John I like it just fine, except for the indentation: it seems that the threads would be smaller without tht thingie, but I understand there is an important reason for it.

"..a customizable Free Republic.."

Well - no one can say it will be 'dull' here, never has been, of course ..*bg*

If all were to be client-side, I'd not be frantically looking for the pink liquid right now... but, then the wife tells me I've become, ‘an ol' stick in the mud' anyway - LOL

Question?

Will your filter filter out Mean-Spirited, Arrogant, Condescending Liberals ?

Really, Thanks. I'll cancel my Eye Doctor appointment.

At a later date a kinder gentler interface will be created.

Bumping you, Rikateacha! I eagerly await the "kinder, gentler" instructions! Mr. Robinson, this is all over my head, and so I rely on your expertise alone, trusting that you are making FR safer for sandbox kids like me!

Perhaps you can sift all this through your patient, kind, and knowledgable hands for me, dear Rika. I have been "homeschooling" for the past week, and have a legitimate "note" to bring into WFTD class today to excuse my absence! ( :

Personally, I think the changes in design are great, but I hear a lot of people complaining about the use of blockquote to prevent reply spoofs. My HCI (human computer interface) teacher would suffer a heart attack if I suggested an unregular margin as standard :)

I really like the indents. It makes it easier for me to read.

I don't quite understand the style sheet though. Does that apply to the threads or to the profile page?

One specialty item you haven't seen to though ... < /ignorant creep> LOL

No wonder the marquee didn't work....I have no problem with the set up John....You did a great job! Eventually, will we be HTML free and be able to simply copy and paste?
