Bifocals, Taun. Either that or keep the Windex handy to wipe off the nose prints from your monitor. :)

bifocals + contacts?! I quit wearing glasses so I could be cute, I'm too vain for bifocals now :D

Seriously tho, it's a simple edit. Just change the hard-coded text size in the style sheet to a variable. I had to do it on the forums for my site and it was sooooo easy.

Bifocals -- less wrinkles around the eyes, Mr. Vain! :) Oh wait, you're male, wrinkles are PERMITTED. Nevermind. :)

wrinkles are not permitted at 26! ROFL.

Was just lookin at the user control panel, and our session data is stored in a cookie. LL need not add a database field, just do a quick check in the cookie for a myTextSize field or something and if it exists set the text size to that. Woot easy peasy! And no more squinting 26 yo's! Everybody wins! Okay... maybe not Kex, but her list is a lot longer than mine :D

Newbie Cabins!

When, oh when, will these things disappear? They don't fit on the 512K of land; they're dotting the landscapes and basically used as a learning tool, and PRIM HEAVY!

Lindens -- have an in-world contest to redesign the newbie cabin/cottages/home -- and please replace them in the inventory!

Yes but when a group of newbies pull them out and all wear them at the same time, the trend is no longer stylish, just sad.

I hate having to reset all my settings after every darn upgrade and and and..well I can't think of another without getting backlash so I will just leave it to my voodoo doll.
