I hear you. I found style sheets to be frustrating and I used to teach HTML! It took me years to get comfortable with style sheets.

I know the older way was simpler, but I had to support style sheets. Unfortunately, my code was getting more and more complex. I had to switch over to just style sheets to make the code simpler.

I know it's frustrating for you, but I have to maintain the code and the server for thousands of messages boards.

I'm not trying to offer the most "advanced" message boards. I still think that our message boards are the simplest and the most reliable.

I don't mind creating style sheets. I'd like to offer holiday themed style sheets. If you have suggestions, I can write them.
