Current favorite CSS hacks for [user settings]:
&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;auto-sizing text areas&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;textarea { width: 100% }&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;bland signatures&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;div.pmsig, div.pmsig td, div.pmsig font { color: black; background-color: white; font-size: 10px; font-family: serif;  }&lt;/dd&gt;

Some people treat computers like refrigerators in that they don't want to
bother replacing them more than once a decade. Others treat them like
fridges in that they think you are unclean if you have anything in one
that is older than a few weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;
Why Perl5's dereferencing is better than Perl6's:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;tt&gt;#34370 +(6)- &amp;#91;X&amp;#93;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;[tye]&amp;gt;   and deref'ing is easy to remember because robots,
-&amp;gt;&amp;#91; , use simple integer indices while samuri, -&amp;gt;{ , have
names for everything, and aliens, -&amp;gt;( , use functional programming
&lt;/tt&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;lt;[Petruchio]&amp;gt; From what I can tell, people get along better when
they simply show that they're willing to waste time on each other.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;For all your nodelette sorrow.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Ever have one of those days when the Monastery pages just won't come up
if you are logged in but everything seems fine if you aren't logged in?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Well, one of the things that changes based on whether you are logged in
is which nodelettes you see.  Some of the nodelets are pretty fancy.  A
while ago, the CPAN nodelet would sometimes refuse to finish, which
prevents any of the page from rendering.  Just recently, the Everything
nodelet had a similar problem.  The solution is to turn off those
nodelets but that leads to a chicken-and-egg problem.  Until now!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
You'll need to bookmark the links in the next paragraph because I can't
make a link to my homenode that doesn't display nodelets.  The following
links are special because they specify "&lt;code&gt;&amp;displaytype=raw&lt;/code&gt;",
which turns off nodelets.  Unfortunately, this option doesn't work for
regular nodes nor homenodes.  Luckilly, it works for the login screen and
the user settings page:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
If you aren't logged in, then &lt;a href="/?node_id=109&amp;displaytype=raw"&gt;go
login&lt;/a&gt; first.  Once you are logged in, go to &lt;a
href="/?node_id=1072&amp;displaytype=raw"&gt;your user settings&lt;/a&gt; and turn off
any nodelets that you think might be the source of your problems.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Of course, if I write "use WORD NUMBER;" such that NUMBER is equal to the number of letters in WORD added to the position in the alphabet of the first letter of WORD, then that (obviously) indicates sarcasm.
&lt;/p&gt;

Possible patch for [usergroup display page]:
&lt;code&gt;
	my $str= "&lt;TABLE&gt;\n";
	foreach (@$ref){ 
		my $N = selectNode $_;
		$str .= "&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;" . linkNode($N)
                  . "&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TD&gt;(last here "
                  . parsetime(lasttime) . " &lt;I&gt;("
                  . timesince($$NODE{lasttime})
                  . ")&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;\n";
	}
	$str . "&lt;/TABLE&gt;;
&lt;/code&gt;
