Thanks Gwiz. I'll find a good jpg avatar.

Other than knowing that CSS is a programming language, I don't even know what I WOULD do with it. Colour schemes? Layout? Suggestions?

Can't do animated gifs for channel avatars, since they're not allowed and the backend converts all types to jpeg anyway.

Or I'm pretty sure it does, like it does with member avatars.

For sidebar content, I suggest you search youtube or vimeo for awesome slowmotion fire. Maybe a picture of that monk that put himself on fire in the vietnam war.

Oooh, and Tobias Fünke auditioning for that one part: "OMG, IT'S A FIRE... sale"

For the icon I suggest something simple and telling, like

Great guitar work. But your profile CSS is horrendous!

For what it's worth, btw, to @campionidelmondo and the rest of you guys, I actually really liked the new design of quotes, I think the code is just complex and the errors a frustrating.

There is a bug when you quote someone with @ in their comment too, it replaces it with the full html code when you quote, so it screws it up, since we're not allowed to input css stuff.

Truthfully,
It's hard to know if the font you are seeing, is the font I am seeing (or the font others are seeing).
For us to pick up on the font change, We need to have the same font installed on our computers.

What I am seeing looks like a Times Roman font. So I like the Sans font better.

Perhaps these tables can help you decide on which fonts are the most popular across most computers.

I don't think that's related. I get that sometimes too. Ad companies- and even our own, non-ad content - use Content Delivery Networks that replicate things like images, flash files and scripts across a network of servers around the globe- with the goal of directing you to the content that is geographically closest to your location. Sometimes those CDN servers have hiccups or down time.
We use a CDN for our images, CSS files and scripts at static1.videosift.com. Advertisers use something similar. Can you tell what content it's stuck on by looking at the status bar at the bottom of the browser?>> ^rougy:
I don't know if this is related or not, but about 8 out of 10 pages that I open on VS will not load all of the way. They'll just hang there and I have to press the stop button before the page will respond to any mouse clicks.
I've noticed that it tends to happen on pages containing some new Flash-type ads that I haven't seen before.



Thanks for the feedback.

I'm using Opera now, so I can't see which element is hanging up, but I'll play around with FF and see if anything shows up.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Design wise there are many ways to make the comments from the dupe stand out subtly. If they are just merged directly into the older post, so there could be overlaps, then perhaps a subtle outline on the dupes would be enough. All that would take is a wee bit of CSS (and the SQL stuff too of course), but that's not that hard.
