div class reputation nit

<center> elements are being used in the divs with the class reputation. <center> has been rendered obsolete, deprecated in HTML 4 and XHTML 1.

Obsolete

This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

- <center>: The Centered Text element (obsolete) on MDN web docs

Please remove the <center> elements in favor of using the CSS property text-align: center?

Edit: It is easier to restyle text-align: then to style the <center> tag.

My OS is Debian 10 (Buster); my perl versions are 5.28.1 local and 5.16.3 or 5.30.0 on web host depending on the shebang.

No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

I commend your rapid patching. Even though it broke my ajax voting code. :P	[reply]

Please move the style to `css/common.css` (around line 50) instead of it being inline. Pretty please?

Now this is a change I can support and a step in the right direction towards using `<div>` for layout. The next step is to move the inline `style` attributes to a linked stylesheet so we can have different stylesheets for screen display, hardcopy, and mobile. Instead of inline `style`, there should be a "base" stylesheet with: (if I remember CSS correctly) `.reputation { text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Agreed. I should have been more explicit about where I wanted the style for those elements to go. I did not mean for the style to be inline. All styles need to be in the css file, so our personal styles can be applied. Edit: `div.reputation` is in the common.css already, so this could be added to it, though it shares its style definitions with `span.modvote`.
