Right, so, a lot of us are using FF 3.5 or Safari. These browsers support CSS 3.0, the next big thing in web styling.

One of the big features of CSS 3.0 is the text-shadow operator. It makes for some awesome formatting.

Since the majority of members should now be running these browsers and have this functionality, I propose a [shadow] bbCode be added that creates a span with text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #000; as a style parameter.

Discuss.

While cool, I don't see a practical application for it in posts.

Bold emphasizes words, italics stress words and denote titles, underlines highlight words, and strikeouts are used to let people know that what was once written is no longer true/accurate/relevant. Shadow is just for looks.

Yet we have the following smilies:

These serve no purpose, yet they take up space.

If that. Out of curiosity and me liking to keep up to date on things, what else is new? Is there like a updates list somewhere?

Firefox is cool. Why do other browsers have to suck.
