Rollback to 6.5.5

This sidebar is like 10x better. The forums stick out, and the links changing colors after you visit is great.

I liked the new sidebar, but I think another good change might be some larger font sizes.

With what you saw on the other forum, it's a lot smaller because of the spacing. The same problem doesn't actually exist within the posts.

also i'd love to see black names (diablo, [censored] etc. change colors within the style sheets b/c they are impossible to read with ubbthreads-dark)

I made a post seconds before the rollback explaining how I think Ryan can fix the font sizes. Its a CSS Style Sheet coding issue, the developers used fixed font sizes in the code rather than relational font sizes using the em tag. An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the pt size of the current font. This unit is not defined in terms of any specific typeface, and thus is the same for all fonts at a given point size. So, 1 em in a 16 pt typeface is 16 points (copied from Wikipedia). The same unit of measurement can be used for linespace. for example if the font size for Tahoma,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica is 1em, you can make the line 1.5em - making the space in between each line of a paragraph 1.5x the current font in width. Luckily its mostly find/replace and test. It shouldn't take long at all.
