Yes, i agree, i indeed can, but using your arguement about filtering irc, that doesn't fix it for anyone else. I can fix the home page spacing as displayed here, Unk can fix the line spacing as displayed there, Someone Else can fix something else as displayed somewhere else. It doesn't, however, do a whit to improving the look of the website of the language we try to take some pride in.
I'm unsure about what you're asking. Are you asking that the css be wide open for public editing on the live site (again, I'm connecting this with other recent posts)? You actually do have the ability to edit the css for the site. Others can obviously view and edit the css locally, then suggest changes to someone with write access. Someone else would have to deploy it, of course. Does this seem unreasonable?
What would the 'ideal' process look like to you. If it includes dumping creole, then it's probably DOA. But I'm honestly asking for what you think the best course of action is right now.

(replying below the creole quotes to avoid crashing)
When using the forum's version of editing the main page, there was no option to edit the css. Editing the creole of the main page just made disaster after disaster of it. I was fighting the creole, and it was winning.
Now, if Unk can edit the css line spacing, i think most of his suggestion is solved. If i can edit the css box-text spacing, most of my suggestion is solved. If unk and i (and CK?) can get together and fix the text overlap thing Dan mentioned, while still keeping the same look and feel, i think his mentionables will be taken care of too. But i saw no way to edit the css.
And i am confused when you say i can edit it on the site, but someone else hasto deploy it. If i edit it, and do not commit it, isn't what i wrote all gone byebye? And if i commit it, isn't it deployed?
If you mean how to make the forum more bulletproof against errant (those things that cause server error 500's), well, alias the creole commands with the html people know and luv, and fix the creole parser. Make it test for crash-causing commands before it crashes. I have not studied the parser output vs input, nor it's limits. I didn't know till today that editing the parser in any way was possible. I thought it was pulled off a creole open source site somewhere and installed as-is, like Apache or php. But i mean really, not even testing for matching (those things that cause server error 500's)?!
Before you come down on me for the suggestion of aliasing html to the creole, it's worked out well to not fix words for Tiggr's commands, she accepts a range of words meaning roughly "define". Altho the languages (24 of them) translator is no longer in existance, so she is now english-only. First thing i'd do, if allowed, is fix the idiot (those other things that cause server error 500's), so their position on the line isn't important, make sure they match opening-for-closing or return the poster to the preview page, and alias them with <pre></pre> as someone else suggested.
I don't see any of this as unreasonable.
