The post titles are currently in two nested divs. Using a single div instead is trivially more efficient. More importantly, if you defined a single CSS style for the titles, you'd minimize the number of template modifications: any further changes to the titles would involve changing the stylesheet rather than the HTML template. Besides, the current divs use the attributes class="smallfont" and align="right", ignoring the logical use of CSS to define styles based on content and organization (e.g. give titles their own style).

I'm too lazy to dig up a link for reference but having numerous hr's in a single page is one of the signs of bad web design.

Oh, and I love the quoting and icon that tells me what posts I've replied in.

Re: What's with the automatic titles in posts?
^ I'm ashamed to admit that, up until about ten years ago, I was "the computer guy" that everyone came to for help, built my own systems, etc.
But then I went sort of cold turkey on all that technology stuff. I'm so far behind now that barely know how to set up a home network.
But maybe the learning bug will hit me again someday. Until then, I struggle thru and usually know where to go for help.

Re: What's with the automatic titles in posts?
Perhaps you should realize that this thread is responsible for it being on the far right of the post, unbolded, whereas initially it was a bold line at the start of every post. It's been much improved and less of an eyesore.
I agree that removing the hr tag and using a simple underline would be a great final step to de-cluttering, if possible.

They don't bother me, for the most part. I imagine I'll learn to ignore them, as I do most people's signatures.
