i want...a skin with a sidebar again...so that way the post space itself is tighter (and thus to me looks neater) but also with a smol mini profile BUT ALSO i know it might look cluttered but consider this: im so tired of these big, wide forum skins and i just want something small again...

either way, it's time to start coding again even if it's just for meeee

can confirm css grid feels like a cheat code. learn flexbox too and you'll feel like you're going through a magical girl transformation. i never worry about vertically centering shit anymore

*pounds fists on table* You kids these days, with your Flexbox and Grid. Back in 2008, we had to use positioning and negative margins to vertically center shit and WE LIKED IT!

no we didn't

After over 17 years, I've decided to move on from ProBoards. If you need to contact me, find me on my website.

You can pry the flexbox and grid from my COLD DEAD HANDS. Now that I have acquired the forbidden knowledge, I'm not touching another table in my LIFE.

I like to name templates after songs I enjoy/am particularly excited about at the time of coding them, but sometimes, I'm like. "Is this idea worthy of this song? Should I save this song for a later, cooler template?" ... And then I just never end up using that song, so wHAT'S THE POINT????

i find it super disorienting when the navigation bar is anywhere but at the top of the screen

like, don't get me wrong, it's kind of cool to see it on the side or at the bottom but. i've been trained for so many years to look for it at the top that it throws me for such a loop when it's not there, to the point that i actually really don't like it as a design choice because of that disorientation tbeh-

i have a handful of half-finished skin mockups that i've lost all concept of how i would even remotely finish them into a cohesive design, and it makes me sad because they're honestly super cute but i just.... don't have anything for them

(they're also somewhat locked into their original projects because of some of the aspects of their design and oh no that's a problem-)

I don't do mockups simply because it is faster for me to just code whatever I'd be mocking up than it is to do the mockup. *sobs* Cut to me spending ten minutes trying to get a circular icon in my image, then cut to me again taking .3 seconds to add 'border-radius:100%;' to my image tags.

i have a version of mockups called "scribble into my notebook" which is mostly just an illegible amalgamation of quickly sketched shapes that i'm pretty sure only i understand

Is it the making mock-ups that’s slow, or the software not being meant for mock-ups
