Is it just me or has the CSS for this site disappeared? It all looks very Times New Roman and the links are underlined. |

Last time i try messing with CSS It just seems to have borked it all up. I was trying to make it so that there were not two seperate CSS files depending on whether you had 'win' in the useragent.Is it just me or has the CSS for this site disappeared? It all looks very Times New Roman and the links are underlined.Looks like someone modified it yesterday (29th) Rich seems to have beaten me to sorting it though.

I've just re-uploaded the old files from my hard drive. Looks like someone didn't do proper backups before messing with the live server ________ Cheers, Rich. |

Does your CSS take into account Mac DPI brokeness? ________ Cheers, Rich. |

What is broken about DPI on Macs?That would be a no, then? IIRC, RISCOS/Windows/Linux/Man+Dog use around 96 dpi; Macs use 72 dpi. So, everything you do on Macs gives much smaller text. Unless, of course, it doesn't, because *some* browsers take the DPI into account. Just not all of them. See the problem? Not sure if that was why Tim did two stylesheets or not, but it sounds reasonable. ________ Cheers, Rich. |

Can't have been why. The stylesheets where for one for Windows, and one for everything else.What is broken about DPI on Macs?That would be a no, then? |

The reason for the two stylesheets was just fonts - Windows users (e.g. me) get Verdana, which is stupidly large at the default font size, so I always reduce it to 80%. Users who don't get Verdana (i.e. RISC OS users) would therefore end up with really small text. |

I've set it up to be right for me, I don't appreciate sites saying "You should view this site at 80% what you want". In IE (not that I use that any more, and neither should anyone else with its current security issues), I have it set to smaller font size - Icon Bar looks too small with this. |

This is very true.The reason for the two stylesheets was just fonts - Windows users (e.g. me) get Verdana, which is stupidly large at the default font size, so I always reduce it to 80%. Users who don't get Verdana (i.e. RISC OS users) would therefore end up with really small text.But how do you know what my default font size is?

In IE (not that I use that any more, and neither should anyone else with its current security issues), I have it set to smaller font size - Icon Bar looks too small with this. However, it's one one vice I allow myself on G&T - I just know that if I keep the font size at 100%, loads of people will complain it looks ugly... |

Plus, most browsers that support CSS also have font resizing (CTRL plus or minus, in Mozilla), and you can even use mutliple style sheets. Go to http://www.houseofmabel.com/test.html in Mozilla, and using the View-Use Style option, switch between the default and simple styles. So, design the site how you want - it is your site, after all - and then when someone complains, call them c***s and point them to the various options to change the font style that they obviously are too stupid to find Doesn't help with RISC OS browsers, but then, CSS font handling is a bit of a foreign concept there anyway. ________ Cheers, Rich. |

I was going to do some alternate style sheets for G&T - but I'm annoyed that you actually have to write your own code to get the stylesheet to be consistent throughout the site. Otherwise, it just loses the alternate you've selected when you browse away from the current page to another bit of the site Something browsers should be dealing with, IMO. |

I am, but I don't want to change anything until Tim does the upgrade. For instance, the logo alt text is only on the forums, using the templates, which are going to change RSN. ________ Cheers, Rich. |
