Topic: I need help re: CSS stylesheet (serious topic)

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #6,744

Whenever someone cites me, the reply-to-my-reply exclamation mark shows up smack bang in the middle of the word 'history'. It's not a big issue and I can still click it just fine, but it's a bit annoying to look at. I don't actually know what I'm doing too well re CSS (lol) and I've been mostly winging my way around edits so far, making educated guesses etc... I'm stuck here though. What should I change to fix it, do you think?

I put it on http://pastebin.com/6twZe2HH if you need to see it to see whats wrong.

Thank you! :)

That isn't very helpful :/

I don't know if we can still do that 'put serious topic in the title and mods will keep it serious' thing, but maybe it will enocurage much more helpful replies.

Thanks for looking anyway!

Odd. I have no idea what causes that. I've tried messing with it, but nothing works. :/

Nice theme anyway. :D

I think I'd have to change the font size on 'main_menu a' from

> font-size:12px;

back to

> font-size:14px;

But I don't want to do that, it's way too big for me.

Oh well, I can put up with it.

Thank you so much for helping!

I think may be because the exclamation mark is in it's own <a> tag. Whereas, the bumps and bulletins exclamation marks are included in the same <a> tag. :-/

If it's not that then I'm not sure why...

a[href*="citations"] {float:right !important;}

(This should make it float to the right. That's the only solution I can think of.)

Not too bad, actually. I like it!

Made it float to the left, though. It's easier to notice that way, since it's all on it's lonesome.

Give it a friend exclamation mark so it doesn't get lonely. :3

Yeah, that looks good. I just hid the exclamation mark on my theme. :')

OK I won't ask for help after this (I don't want to reach DM 'halp w/ HTML plz' levels). But whenever I reply to a topic (and I assume any other notice shows up at the top) this happens. Does anybody know why, and how I can stop it?

I really like the 'godawful' pony theme :( I put a fair bit of time into finetuning my pony theme ._.

edit

> WHY.JPG

Lol it was like that already in the one that I was looking at for help (but with different hex codes) and I didn't want to break it since I'm not very good and don't know what the thing for just making it one colour is so I just changed both hex codes to the same one so it will all be one colour.

background-color:#171717
Delete the others if needed, or put above the gradients as a compatibility setup.

Thanks. Do you knowe how to solve the case of the moving background image?

Perhaps you could provide a screenshot of what you are referring to.

Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 15 years ago, 4 minutes later, 2 days after the original post[^] [v] #120,166

@previous (Voice of !WisdomHsuU)

Sure! If you look on the bottom image (when there is a notice in the thing) you can see that everything shifts down for some reason, leaving an ugly black space until the notice goes away.

    }

And OK I'll fuck about with it until I accidentally fix it I guess.

I don't know. It just doesn't look right...

Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 15 years ago, 3 minutes later, 2 days after the original post[^] [v] #120,252

@previous (SQUARED !B./giPt8go)

It might look unsymmetrical because you haven't seen it with the cite ! on the far left. I wanted it all one one line instead of a bunch of links (a lot of which I never used), the cite ! crammed between History and something else and then a notice bar on top of the entire thing.

Well I just checked and all the text is aligned so I don't get what you find off about it.

Oh and nothing I change on

body {



    padding:3em 2em;



    }

Is fixing it.

I'm not sure what I've changed since that OP paste anyway so the one I'm on right this second is at
