1. I'm sure 10-15% of users would be affected, if you used all the CSS possible. There is a large (AFAIK) range of CSS that is not an issue.
Of course, I don't see your logs. Perhaps you see lots of people with IE5.



The logs I am looking at tell me that there are still plenty of people using IE 5.0 and Opera < 7.0 as well as early mozillas (0.9 - 1.3). The total sum of these people averages between 10-15%. While certainly nor a majority that's still a large minority that will be affected.

Once its done for a sample stylesheet, it'll be easy for the majority of changes to be made.



I am not so certain in my (albeit limited) experience I've seen CSS behave somewhat unusually when a large hiearchy is involved. And that is exactly what will happen when we try to replace table within tables within tables with CSS.

That csszengarden site is modified by graphic designers - not developers! If they can do it....



Everyone has their stregths, just because they can do it does not mean it's easy. I am quite certains that web developers who show case their work on that site are quite skilled with CSS and as far as CSS maybe far beyond made developers who's skill set is in the arena of PHP, Perl, C, etc...

4. True. This, perhaps is the best argument against migration. However, it may be possible to make a start with parts of FUDforum, putting more styles into the current stylesheet as you go. Step by step, we get where we're going, after all.



I'd really like to see one of the forum's pages done completely in CSS (let's say the front page) before making any decisions.
