user supplied css for tr interface options.
even if we only get to have a couple of options.
get rid of painfull or hard to read colour contrasts. ;)
since Jay made the suggestion at the bottom of the Workspace thread.
If I wanted to learn how to program web pages I would have done so a long time ago. I have other things to do. If I go to a store do I have to stock the shelves before I make a purchase?
Now if TR wanted to have individual CSS pages for members and an easy to use interface to choose options then I could go for that.

You really do have far too much time on your hands don't you?
Yes I say your creation and actually liked it but you really spent a lot of time unnecessarily didn't you?
But more to the point instead of just limiting web design to the layout how about voting on what Program & OS it is made on and how to deploy it? :p

it was Jay's idea for putting up css, if we like it.
letting us choose from several options.
what I'm usuing is just browser preferrences, not an overriding css.

Is that Browser preferences on Monzella on Debian, Fedora Core, SUSE, Mandrake, Turbo Linux or what? :p
Actually you do have way too much time on your hands but I did like the pac man image drinking the black stuff I take it was meant to be Guinness and not stout right? ;)

I'm killing myself with these 3 day long weekends wice a month..need to get it to 4 a month. :)
I have no idea what it was supposed to be, that is a standard phpbb smiley.
just as the current coffee one is a phpbb smiley.
mozilla seamonkey ( the suite not stand alone )
and basic user prefs in it.
same as netscape prefs.
same as old mozilla suite ( pre-seamonkey )
and linux from scratch of course.
no pre packaged distro here. :)

I rest my case you do have far too much time on your hands. :^O
I tried that once and admittedly it was a while ago now but I find a Custom Install of Debian does everything that I require without the hassles of building it myself. :p
But far more importantly never under any circumstances let the wife know that you're at a loose end or she'll come up with all those jobs that you've been way to busy to do previously. I thought that I was keeping the wife happy when I pulled some cable through the house after all I'd only been saying I'd do it for about 10 years. But was she happy NOOOOO! She came up with all these other jobs that she wanted done and I'm still trying to escape doing the bulk of them. My current excuse is that I ruined my hands removing a shrub that only took 4 days and now 2 weeks latter the blisters are starting to disappear but now she is lining me up to remove trees. :(

I cut down a bunch of small trees that had been bent down by heavy snow. Then I had a bunch of stumps left. I found that putting a pick-axe under the crown of the tree allowed me to lever the stump out of the ground. It was great. You need a heavy duty pick-axe though because the leverage allows you to put a lot of force where the handle meets the head of the axe. It's easier than it looks if the trees are under roughly eight inch diameter.
A gasoline powered chain saw will make short work of small to medium diameter trees. I generally try to use electrical lawn appliances such as a lawnmower or lawn edge trimmer. However cutting down trees really requires the power of gasoline. The nuisance of chain saws is sharpening the tiny blades but it's easier than using an axe or a bow saw. I've found that some trees really resist damage by those hand tools.

anyone working for me will have to get used to linux from scratch.
no package manager.
first day's work is to build your own system.
setting up your own config scripts.
~EVIL GRIN~
after all, you have to prove your skills with the only os for the office.

Planted all these trees about 10 years ago and when I suggested that they where way to close to the house I was told off. So I said nothing and now 10 years latter they are all well over 25 feet high are at least 18 inches through at the bottom of the trunk and deep rooted as they are all natives. :(
I've found the most effective way is to cut them off about 18 inched above the ground and then fertilise them with Diff Oil preferably the used stuff fully contaminated. :^O
I've just removed one of her favourite plants which was spreading all over the place and worse still entering the house and destroying it so I'm following a "Scorched Earth" policy and plan on planting some green Concrete seeds and watch them grow. :D
I knew that it was going to be a major problem when I found roots of her shrub in the guttering of one side of the house, they had broken into the underground waste water pipe and then proceeded to grow each way until the entire down pipe was totally blocked. So She Who Must Be Obeyed insisted that I clean out the gutters as I was sadly lacking in my domestic responsibilities but would not have it that her plant was the cause of the problem. Even after I proved that the roots where everywhere. But when I pointed out that that the roots where growing in between the Window frames and the brick work she insisted that I cut out those particular roots. Well 4 days latter when I had got rid of the offending roots by removing the entire shrub and SWMBO actually accepted that there was a real problem as the roots had also attacked a retaining wall and where causing it to break up she decided that I really had not done anything wrong and actually told me that who ever planted that stupid plant there deserved to get strung up and hung by their thumbs. I just had to bite my tongue. :(
Anyway I have only gone down about 12 inches and removed all the roots that I could find and there where lots of them now I'm resorting to Chemical Warfare on what remains. Of course SWMBO is cleaning up inside the house I really never should have pulled that cable as that started this whole thing off. I've got about 30 Cubic Yards of Roots that can not be mulched or otherwise disposed of and I really don't know what to do with them as they are like rubber. Currently we have a Total Fire Ban on here owing to the lack of water that is available most of the dams here are under 27% full so SE Queensland only has enough water for about 2 years as things currently stand. The tip will not accept them because they will start growing as soon as they are covered by dirt so they can not go into Landfill so I'm stuck with them. :(
But I do find the stumps remaining in the ground are a good lesson as she isn't planning on replanting any plants whatsoever. Apparently they are a constant reminder to her of what she has done. But I did offer to bring in a mate to remove the stumps which at first she seemed willing to accept until she meet him and discovered that he intended to Blow them out with Jelly. She now wants then to stay. The only other way to remove them is with heavy machinery and that would mean demolishing the newly built fence which she doesn't want happening. So as far as I'm concerned that can stay put until they rot away. Perhaps they will soon stop appearing and I can get back to doing what I actually like doing As Little As Possible. :D

If this isn't going to be a requirement for viewing the site, then I promise to abstain from voting on the subject. If I have to learn CSS and configure the layout of this site to view it, then I'm solidly against this idea. I'm not offended by the current design and don't want to be personally required to overhaul it. I'm not interested how the site looks as much as I'm interested in the content posted.
Just another example of why I'm happy when I don't have to select between choices that don't really matter.

comments in the discussion, it's more that we pick from a few submitted colour patterns. not that we supply our own css.
just so that in our profiles we may get the option of using a different colour pattern.
( supplied through picking a box, not writing or editing css )
