    Re: traffic page changes? Todd Lehman
   (...) We've been getting rid of that old Times Roman and converting things over gradually to Verdana over the years. It was also using drab brownish gray colored table backgrounds that didn't really add anything graphic-design-wise. I moved the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) My big suggestion: Put the intro para at the top again, right now you're wasting a lot of horizontal space farther down below it. Or if you MUST have it on the side, blowing a column, at least when you resize the page, don't resize just that (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: traffic page changes? Todd Lehman
   (...) Ok, let's try that. Howzit now? I moved the text back up to the top and also removed the bold title that I'd added yesterday. (...) Verdana was the main change I wanted to make, but perhaps got a bit carried away with simplification. How do (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

        Re: traffic page changes? —Jeremy Scott
     This is a great, great compromise! Kudos! My only suggestion, other than this is way better than the gray version you have in the reply, is to align the "read once" paragraph to the edges of the three tables. Such as this: <table> <tr (...)

         Re: traffic page changes? —Jeremy Scott
      And also, for uniformity, why not make the imbeded tables that hold the post info a fixed size? I know I am just blabbing but this line is really a blab to add more to message. I need 10% of to be original. :-X ~Jeremy! (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: traffic page changes? Todd Lehman
     (...) I thought about doing that, but... wouldn't the free-flowing intro text want to take up the full width of the browser window, and cause the three columns to be unnaturally wide or far-spaced? I'm skeptical that it would render the way we (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: traffic page changes? —Jeremy Scott
     I have an easy answer, just put the width for the <td> to be width="100" and colspan to be the proper amount. This will make the cell very small, but when the remainder of the table is drawn, the cell will be forced to conform. Therefore, even (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)

   (...) Big improvement, it behaves much more gracefully under resize now. (...) The font being bigger is a huge relief for me, I could not read the old one. I like this lots better. I have just one more suggestion and I'm done... lose the leading '.' (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-03, to lugnet.admin.general)
