Now the consideration reason box will show with a pale red background, making it impossible to mistake it for the chatterbox.

Otherwise, you would have to check whether one of the editors is online and /msg. (And make sure you use the chatterbox input this time around. ;-) )

Hey, that sounds reallyfamiliar ... ;^)

Anyhoo, not all browsers (notably, IE) support CSS2's [attribute="value"]-style selector, so in my user settings I use ...

#approval_nodelet input { background: #cc9999; }
#approval_nodelet td    { background: #ffeeee; }
[download]

... to similar effect, but with greater browser support.

And you still managed to confuse it for the chatterbox? Wow. You need a rest. :-) (Argh, I was really half asleep. Of course you weren't the original poster.)

As for the selector, I wouldn't know, I use standards compliant software. :-) Namely, Mozilla.

No. Only janitors, gods, and possibly a few others can directly unconsider nodes.

If you're not comfortable using (or able to use) user-defined style sheets, you can also re-order your personal nodelets so that there's a bit of space between the ChatterBox and the Approval nodelet.

Of course, nothing beats looking thrice before you stubmit, but we've all been known to /msh something up from to time.

Thanks, everyone for your replies.

After that slip, I removed the approval nodelet completely (after a little self-flagellation), but then after reading the replies, I followed Kanji's and Aristotle's advice to use styles to highlight the approval nodelet.

Thanks again :)
