tonyh: Oh, wait, if you use IE6, it won't work. (I don't know about IE7). At work, we have IE6 and the external styles don't work. It works great with Firefox though.
Czuch: Sorry, I had read this board before Feature Requests, so I wasn't following the thread correctly. At the time I posted here, I hadn't seen that your pages were loading slower after whatever you had tried.
So, ignore me! LOL
So, no, I haven't tried anything that's being discussed. I'm at work so can't play around with that stuff. I like both columns, so I probably wouldn't remove any of it anyways. (And I have ZERO problems now with pages loading badly)
Czuch: Is it only certain pages that take that long? I know I mentioned this on another board a while ago, but I don't remember where now.
Try and notice if it is JUST Brainking pages where there is a text box on the page. If so, clicking on "Change smileys" above the text box, and then EMPTYING out all the smileys (so that when you click or hover over the smile next to "Message:", NOTHING shows up in the box) worked to speed things back to normal for me. (You MUST remember to click "Activate user smilies")
After Fencer added one of the latest batches of smilies, suddenly any pages where there was a text box, went from taking 3 seconds, to more than 15 seconds! It was very frustrating. (And at the time, puzzling, because other Brainking pages were loading as quickly as ever.) After I changed this everything was fine for me.
Of course, if you are talking about ALL Brainking pages, then what I suggest will not help.
coan.net: Hmm. Would it be possible for you to tell me how I might be able to "copy" your CURRENT style, so that I can continue to use it? In case personally I don't like future changes? (I tend to be reluctant to accept change! LOL) Because I love your second style just as it is. (Basically just because of the MOVE button being at the top of every page.
I still say it would be nice if someone would write a little tutorial about creating our own stylesheets, on the BrainRook.com website. (I think that's the name, I actually haven't been over to that site in a while)
BIG BAD WOLF: Are you still going to use Abigaill's suggestion to have the move button stay "fixed" at the top, even when you do scroll? (I use yours all the time now, and love it! I will try out the 2nd one now, since I do use the left column, and would prefer the move button moved to the right some..)
