Which is kind of silly when I think I'll probably be changing layouts again with Drupal 7 (unless this one gets an update for 7), but still...

Mostly got rid of a lot of extra spacing and weirdly large fonts for blockquotes and comments. I pared them all back down to 1em. I guess I'm just not into super large fonts, or text with varying sizes. I dunno. It looks weird to me. If I want larger fonts I'll just increase the zoom on my browser.

I also finally found a trick to get rid of the views horizontal scrollbar annoyance in Drupal 6:

div.view div.views-admin-links { width: auto; }

Nothing big, I just couldn't figure out which way to edit width to make the scrollbar stop showing. I also tried overflow but that didn't work.

Next maybe I'll edit my tag list and streamline my categories... ha, yeah right! n.n

This is a small redesign I've been wanting to do for a little while now. Returning to dark background, eliminating a great deal of cluttery links and blocks, and so on. Getting some cache modules installed. I even reduced the number of posts per page (it's actually 5 now instead of 10. That may help, or maybe not.)

For a base, I took an existing Drupal layout (it's called 'decayed' if you're interested) and tweaked a lot of stuff here and there. Jon helped me with all the photoshop manipulation here (including finding some REALLY gorgeous looking flower and butterfly brushes - he says they're free to use, if I knew where they're from I'd credit it ;.;). And I'm reminding myself how much I hate CSS! :D though it isn't quite as bad this time around. Float and clear are my friends.

Not quite done tweaking with all the details yet. I'm going to expand the Announcements section some, for example. Still need to make a final decision on what blocks go where, and how I'll make up for the info that gets cut out.

I'll be working on this more later (and possibly a real post. Maybe?!) but for now it is PSU TIME!

Arrrr, yeah, I seriously thought I wouldn't get this finished this soon, but I did, and my body and mind are paying for it now. It's the new Tower RP Forums!

Please sign up if you're interested in Tower RP and/or FFRPG. I need to approve all registrations, but I'll be checking on the site as soon as I'm awake and able to think with more than like... four brain cells. :P

These were probably the most harrowing two or three days I've ever had of CSS HORROR. GOD. WHY DOES IT SUCK. It isn't even real programming, honestly, it rarely EVER makes logical sense. I had to seriously hack the heck out of my CSS stylesheet (which is a heavily modded Vanilla forum layout) to make it not look like crap on IE. Like, font-size:1px, and min-height:100% and and wrapper divs to trigger hasLayout! Or whatever that was... I don't even know if I REMEMBER all the hacks I had to do.

I went and did something productive today! It was small, but I still got dressed (in record time, too... usually takes me so long =_=), went out and did something responsible.

I just had to go and call to cancel my health insurance in the U.S. My mom couldn't do it herself because they needed confirmation straight from me. But I couldn't call from home because the phone line isn't working right now. :(

So that meant I had to go outside to use a phone there. Which could have totally been a freakout moment (agoraphobia + anxiety from responsibilities) but I went and put on a little bit of "Archana attitude" and it actually worked. o.O I was okay!

I'm pretty content now for once... I mean, I won't say it'll last (it rarely does) but if I can have those moments more often than not, I'm doing something right.

I've been working on a layout -- and I mean a very SIMPLE layout -- for the new Caduceus site. I had everything done, more or less, but then discovered that the top banner (which was a centered image) was always shifting a few pixels to the left compared to the splash page.

Yeah, so it's just a few pixels, who cares, right? ... I do! D:

So I raged for a while (all last night, in fact) trying to figure out the issue, when it finally struck me just a few minutes ago. It's the *scrollbar*. The scrollbar was messing up the centering for short pages. x.x So I followed the advice I found here and put in a

html { overflow-y: scroll; }

in the CSS to force a scrollbar all the time. Gah~ I really do hate CSS, have I said that before? n.n
