Now for the trifecta, to add a "There was no comment from [poster] at press time" on emptyquotes. I know it's probably almost impossible.

As for the thread list and post list colors, is the plan to make those more newspaper-y?

Part of me says to switch the blues to greys and get rid of gradients, maybe make the background closer to a newsprint color. Do newspapers still use serif fonts? Buttons should be flat, maybe even just text without the outline. I'm just spitballing here

I tried loving around a bit with a NY Times-inspired stylesheet. I think the biggest challenge is that C-SPAM posters are simply more efficient writers, and don't need twenty paragraphs to get a message across, which causes an imbalance between the various elements. A twitter-inspired stylesheet might work better, or perhaps some unholy combination of the two. https://imgur.com/2GgEiTI https://imgur.com/sbueZPR https://imgur.com/xKfT9gc

Good effort on the buttons, but in general this looks like reading emails in thunderbird circa 2002, so not quite there

I like the thread title looking like a headline at the top of the page, but having it after every post would probably get pretty annoying. The third one is getting there, but all black and white does make it look a bit flat... but on the other hand that is what newspaper websites look like. All of the names of the things underneath the post like “author’s comments” and ‘awards” which you invented are brilliant twoday has issued a correction as of 16:03 on Feb 14, 2020 |

The financial times has this pinkish tone that I’ve never really liked, but they have reddish accent which looks nice, not sure it would work on white though: https://www.ft.com/

I like the third picture best but longer usernames stretch out too far to the right, as can be seen with Anne Frank Funk’s name. They're getting too close to the post proper and making it look cramped.

Thanks, I am much happier about those buttons than the rest too.  Definitely agree that the post themselves don't really work, and I'm not sure it's really possible to make them do so. The content of an opinion columns or article is like the polar opposite of a C-SPAM post; a whole bunch of words with a ton of white space and no additional graphics, a few big images aside. I'd be cool if I was proven wrong though and someone actually managed to make it look good.And yeah, user names might be an issue too.

USA Today is maybe a good inspiration for how the front page of C-Spam could be formatted? We could make a set of thread tags unique to C-SPAM that look like little article photo thumbnails. And then the Pinocchio thread rating on the side https://usatoday.com/  But smaller than that I guess twoday has issued a correction as of 16:13 on Feb 14, 2020 |

The third looks good too. To avoid the "Thunderbird in 2002" look, would it be possible to use a newsprint-like background to replace the stark white? Something like this? I loving love the names for the buttons.

I like the buttons and layout to the third one. I think some monochromatic icons would flesh the buttons out well while still staying print-like. Now 2 dumb ideas for fodder: 1. Big Initial Letter?  2. Newsprint grey for new posts, yellowed old news paper for old posts:

"Sources close to..." should end in something like "had this to say" instead of just "posted". Imo.
