Opting out of this gawd-awful CSS gobbige

Post #1,189 by jb4 7/9/01 1:55:02 PM Reply	Opting out of this gawd-awful CSS gobbige So CSS (and the concomittant inability for me to have control of the presentation) has infected the otherwise pristine ZIWETHEY, too. So instead of a nice, readable forum like I had before my unexpected trip to Germany on the 3rd, Ive got this big, fat display w/ foot-and-a-half high letters that steadfastly refuse to respond to Decrease Font menu items, a posting box that insists upon being wider than my browser window no matter how many times I click on "Narrower", and a busy, noisy font instead of the one that I chose (becasue it was easier for me to read). OK, fine...you guy seem to be really enamoured of this. My suggestion is, then, how about putting an option on the user preferences page to allow us to opt-out of CSS. (Even better, allowing us to opt-out of various CSS settings that don't agree with our browsers and/or environments. Even better still, allow us to override default settings with our own choices. Yes, it is understood that these last two options would require a lot of work. I would be perfectly happy with the all-or-nothing option.) Having to switch on and off JavaScript on every site I visit (some internal sites I use daily require Javascript(!)) is a real pain-inna-arse, and shouldn't be required on a site runby experts like yourselves.

Oh, wait... that's not true. I wonder if this is a result of putting the CSS in a separate file. See, Wade, I told you so. :-) I'll change that back; it's probably the root cause. Various types of UI are on the TODO list. I dont' particularly care for CSS either. What browser are you using? I shouldn't think that CSS would affect the wider/narrower functionality. That disturbs me. Regards, -scott anderson

Post #1,356 by static 7/10/01 8:22:56 PM Reply	But that helps. I just installed NS 4.76 in WinME expressly for testing HTML. If I can get over my gag reflex to actually run the thing... :-) Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

Post #1,230 by static 7/9/01 9:15:49 PM Reply	The current model is less than satisfactory. We're working on it. I don't like the current half-way setup anymore than you, though for wildly different reasons, I'll be the first to say. Scott and I will be working on wholly CSS-free option shortly. Wade.
