"search by Google"

Post by moronicbajebus »

I notice the graphic for the "search by Google" changed on the frontpage.<img src="http://www.mozillazine.org/image/mini-search.gif" alt"Search by Google" >

Why not just use text instead?

I couldn't get it that small, and have it be in pretty colors without a lot of markup. I know we all want pretty colors!

Exactly my point. I'll fix the forums one in a second.

kerz, one other thing while i'm being pedantic, on the viewtopic page the hr between the topic title and the content has the code [hr height="5"/] - my point is that i don't think there is any such attribute as height (it's called size instead, but i'm not sure why this should be "5" high anyway...).
