Big yellow box on the issue tracker page
Hi all,
I've noticed a fair number of issues being filed recently by people who
haven't read the big, yellow box on the main issue tracker page. I
don't know whether it will make any difference, but maybe we could use a
larger or bolder font, and make the box red instead (yellow on white is
kind of low-contrast and maybe hard to notice). I think we'll always
get some who for whatever reason file issues before posting to the list,
but maybe these changes could cut down on the frequency with which it
happens?

I was thinking something along the lines of
<div class="alert" style="background-color:red;font-weight:bold">
although that shade of red looks awfully harsh in my browser and could
stand to be toned down a bit. Maybe more like
<div class="alert" style="background-color:#ff3333;font-weight:bold">

Well, it's definitely not a no-op, since that section does have a
different background on the live site, but not in my working copy.
Anyway
<div class="alert" style="color: red">
might do the trick for us? (It works, the question is is it
objectionable :-) ).

Tigris doesn't allow you to define your own styles (mostly because you
have no access to <HEAD> HTML containers). So either we're using some
tigris.org-define style, or that class="alert" is a no-op.

I wouldn't mind trying, say, red text. But before we do that, I'd
like to ask Mike Pilato what's the correct stylesheety way to do that
on tigris.org? Right now, that section is highlighted using
<div class="alert">
... but that style is defined inside Subversion's www/ area. I guess
we inherit it from tigris or something?
