$5 per FP buy back

WHAT HAS CHANGED IN OLD.CSS

$5 per FP buy back

But FPs can only be bought back in total. If you have 45 FPs, you have to buy them all back.

good thinking

seriously why is ILX in georgia instead of times new roman for me now : (

I appear to have the same with the old.css

Switch to caek.css if you can bear the ultra-wide images and crave Times New Roman

Georgia is a better web font.

it's how I've been looking at ilx since forever. think of it as tracer.css

but georgia is not what the stylesheet was showing me before!

body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;

}

i checked to see if maybe i had only recently acquired georgia as a font, maybe in a microsoft office update, but it seems it's been sitting around, available to be used, on my computer for over a year. so i assume the stylesheet has changed?

Yes, it has changed -- I set it to Georgia because it had no font set at all, and some browsers are showing madness as a default font. Personally I prefer it massively over TNR (especially on shitty displays).

can you change the priority with which the fonts are selected, or fork your modification into a different stylesheet? i think old should stay old!!

yeah J i hated the switch to Georgia too, so now I’m using caek instead of old and it’s close enough

my ilx experience has improved markedly since i made wingdings my default font

Priority won't matter because virtually everything has both TNR and Georgia. I'm looking into a font preference though.

god please this font is ludicrously monumental

OK, that's available now on the style setting page. It's early days, but I think it at least does what you want -- choose old.css and set the dropdown to "Times New Roman".

great!

i think it must have tweaked before i changed it, somehow, because i was once again getting TNR/old.css after you changed it, but when i went to site preferences and left the dropdown on default, confirming that took me back to the default for old.css, where georgia comes first. (naturally i just re-set the dropdown.)

Comic Sans has unexpected effects on iPad, oops

Ideas for ILX

xp you're board history's greatest monster!

autoreplace all Trump tweet embeds with "I am the worst possible type of douchebag and I cordially invite you to punch me until I die"

lol

Oh for a more innocent time when people who rolled their damn eyes were worst possible type of douchebag.

This isn't a feature request, but it seems insane to me that there is no rolling thread about dating.

there is on 77, on ILE there's the OK Cupid thread that gets bumped occasionally and you could probably use for that purpose

that probably wouldn't be considered public info

do we have any, or a good/appropriate/agreed-upon, system for dealing with old-ass threads/posts where you said kinda dumb and offensive shit (or shit that could be taken out of context even) and are now, ten years later, vaguely anxious that someone could connect the dots and eventually link it back to you? like is it appropriate to ask mods to replace individual posts with "This post has been deleted by request of its poster" or sth? asking for a friend

i mean

....yknow and look i know but i mean

yknow?

xp - are you friends with the kickstarter bro who started the thread about how gross it was that fat people have sex?

what? no ew

i can't out the friend in question but to my knowledge he has only ever posted under a handle that rhymes with "Lock door; bus Eno"

NU ilx is built on the ashes, misfortunes and bad posting of old ilx. To remove the past is to remove the present imo.

i dig that, i just like, occasionally wake up at night in a cold sweat for fear that my academic career might someday be derailed because of some post in 2006 where I was trying out being a combative internet zingbro or w/e

We've all been there iirc

(idk you could maybe ask a mod nicely and it will probably be removed and no-one will ever find it missing anyway?)
