Aww, thank you so much!!! I'll be sure to ask about stuff when issues start to pop up!

Okay! I have a question! Do you have any idea how to make a header image stop repeating itself on narrower screens? I heard changing it from pixels to a percentage could fix it, but either my previous attempts weren't coded correctly or it simply doesn't work because something else is causing the issue. My site (& thus the header image's code) is from Sadgrlonline's Layout Builder, btw!

Oh, that's a simple thing to solve! For the image to repeat itself, I assume you're using it as a background image, right? So, on the CSS, you gotta set its background-repeat to no-repeat. Also, the percentage thing is mainly useful if you wanna make the background image responsive on smaller screens. I hope this helps! ^^

It's not set as a background though! I don't think the template has the header image set to background, & I have no idea how to change it to BG either. I tried adding your suggestion (which I did see on a site a few days ago) under where the image is in the CSS & it did nothing. The header is :root { --header-image: url('address stuff'); There's also #header, but nothing happened when I added your suggestion?

Also! When I change the image from px to %, it just deletes itself from my website for some reason??? I added width: 100%; & alternatively tried width: auto; & also tried both but with height, but none of these seem do anything OR it deletes the header image from the site?

Ehh, I'm not really understanding how this layout of yours is behaving... I've coded my site entirely by hand, so all I know is regular methods that work outside of a template. I'll go inspect your code and see if anything works-

Ok, it's apparently simpler to change! From what it seems, you already have a style set for the header in the HTML, so remove the height it has there, and only work inside the sheet. Second, I think you should replace the var method to fetch the image and use url("your url here") instead. Then, you gotta write in your CSS - background-repeat: no-repeat; - so that it doesn't repeat on smaller screens.

It's always better to work on the stylesheet alone than mix CSS with HTML. Things get mixed up easily like this, y'know? I also recommend using background-style: cover if you want the image to stay inside the header regardless of screen size ^^

Okay, I'll try to do that then! The style sheet was something that was part of the template, & I was just wondering this morning if I should try to move the design elements to the CSS file where it belongs! Thank you so much for doing your best to help me out! I appreciate it very much!!!

Oh boy, there are *problems!* Moving the CSS into the CSS has angered the code gods, it pretty much deletes a massive chunk of the site, & multiple things don't actually work in the CSS file; like the numbers on the side are either yellow or red. And removing the height cuts off the image in an unintended way! I am extremely lost, omg.

Update! The header repeating on mobile has been fixed! Another issue popped up, but it's not the worst thing, so I'm leaving it! I would like to ask this though; I added a table to my site & designed it in the CSS file, but the design doesn't show up on mobile, just desktop? I'd imagine it's because the rest of the CSS is in

Yoo, thank you so much!!? I'm flattered you enjoyed my way of drawing things lol- it was a long way until I finally got to the point where I finally liked it!

Also- I finally managed to visit your site (I recall attempting some months ago, but I'd gotten an error at the time. It worked just fine today), and WOW... everything feels so immersive n' interactive, from the atmospheric music to the mysterious lore bits... I definitely wanna explore it better later on. For now, I can only dream of making things in this level of immersive lol. Congrats for the fantastic job!!

thank you! you probably got that 'cause I was blocking smaller screens for a while like a doofus (i had to figure out better scaling and probably still do lol)

@voodu Ooh, that's superb to hear!! I'm running Windows 10 with 3 GB of RAM, so it's a mix of performance and resource-intensive lol. Making my page fast became one of my goals once I realized some websites were too intensive for my laptop, and wanted to avoid the frustration of lag other people would face while browsing it :]

Thank youu! I'm honestly glad all the images n' files I had to shrink or "bitcrush" paid off well lol. I hope my future plans for the website will still remain light ^^

@cdjam Yep! It can be surprising for some people (even for me when I realized lol), but there are many websurfers who still use older OSs on older hardware. I've even heard there's still people who use Internet Explorer or browse the web using a Commodore 64! It's pretty wild.

I began to implement the new cursors on the pages! I just gotta figure out which ways are most efficient, aka don't give too much lag xP

Oh, and I discovered how to make the cursor appear on top of the scrollbar! You gotta set the cursor on the html instead of the body ;]
I just got accepted into the Geekring, so I couldn't not go without making a proper layout for it ;] The webring visuals with buttons n' arrows are super cool, and wanna keep that look going in my webrings corner!
I also remembered to fix the date on my footers lol
