Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Trust my rage

Oh, I did later (and just doubled checked). I had no idea what I was doing at first so I was just copying and pasting but eventually I noticed (in my spoiler problem last night) that there was a missing }.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Did the style sheet change since yesterday? Because when I opened it here at work, it looked completely different than when I opened it on my home computer. For one things, I don't see any % or what looks to be formatting. Also, every line has a font indicated. Weird. I wonder if this is causing the problem I'm having getting the screen to look right.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I set it up (including closing), but I'm not sure I did what I wanted to. I'm trying to set it up so I can see spoiler font without highlighting, but in a different color so I know what's in spoiler font. I now have the different color but I still have to highlight. What I have is

.spoiler { #817679; }

, but I'll probably experiment with color.

Hey. New board.

You need to do

.spoiler {color: #817679;}

The color bit is necessary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There have been no style sheet changes (right, Jon?) since yesterday.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Here's an example of what I'm seeing when I open it. Maybe it's just formatted differently, but I don't remember font names on every row:

p, li, td { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal}
tt { font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono; font-style: normal}
h1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}
.biggertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.smallertext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.nametext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold}
.tagtext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold}
.titletext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal}
.logintext { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal}
.plus-sign { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}
.specialpost { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-style: normal ; color: #990000}

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I haven't touched it.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing when I open it.

Weird! I suspect that's a browser issue. What browser/platform are you using?

Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP.

When I open the stylesheet, it opens it with a different program (MS Development environment), not with IE, probably because it recognizes the .css suffix.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I suspect MS is "helping". You should be able to download the file by right-clicking the link and open it in notepad; that ought to get you the file in its actual state.

Nope, still not getting the same stuff in the style sheet. I'll just have to email the one I saved as a word document at home and see if I can use that.
