Scott, here is how to fix the font thing instantly:

Work with me here for a moment.

When GNET bought SI from the Dryer boys, they must have saved the original code somewhere, right? I'll bet they did.

It's probably in the Lunch Room back there behind the old cups that nobody except the Suits use and don't wash. Or maybe it's in that box of stuff that Russ never took and got put back in the back behind the New DeLuxe Servers and stuff. (It's probably on one CD, Brad was good.)

OK, so here's what you do:

Take down this POS that has never worked. Better yet, sell it to Larry Ellison or something. Get stock, he has lots.

Install the old site again. Simply insert the CD into the Cup Holder on the New Deluxe Server thingie and press "Engage". Make sure to select "Do Not Alter Fonts and Stuff."

Perfect. Everything worked perfectly, even the stuff that has NEVER worked since.

You could call it "Pre-Classic".

You could call it "Neanderthal" if you want, I don't care.

Then you can fire all the Excellent Engineers that can't seem to make the new site work and never have, and if you have a problem, you just call Brad, throw him all the dough you saved by firing the Excellent Engineers, and he helps you out. Pretend you are Admin Bob so Brad will answer the phone. And be real polite, Brad is a genius.

Make two new Engineer Rules:

1. You are not allowed to talk about SI to any other employee unless you have actually registered as a member and made 50 public messages and 50 private messages.

2. Anyone that diddles with the code is fired (instead of given two assistant helpers to help fix the mistakes that Diddle made.)

Thanks in advancement.
