Staff Divs Have Been Banned

[Tefka]

From having the following code in their CSS design. Please see the updated rule, in the roleplay rules.

Link for the lazy:

Roleplay Rules

ROLE PLAY RULES 1. Posting Out-of-Character (OOC) messages in a role-play thread should be kept to an absolute minimum. 2. Cross-Over Role-play is not allowed. 3. You may not portray rape, prostitution, pedophilia, racism, homophobia etc. in...

9. The following CSS attributes from the DIV bb code are now prohibited and may not be used.

a. background-attachment: fixed;


This was done because 1) its OVERUSED for POSTS. It's done on the website. Your background isn't meant to scroll with your post. I love being extra too, but it leads to 2) FPS drops, stuttering on browsers and low end browsers.

Divs going forward that include background-attachment CSS will be forcibly removed and the player's account warned, or if on multiple warnings, disciplinary action on their account.

May I suggest an addendum for the 'cursor:' selector?

One step closer to ending the div menace

Hey, so does this apply to any graphics? Like a header, or like some sort of div? Like these:

 

[Tefka]

Nah gifs are fine and time honored tradition. Preferably not used as a background though for a div.

Specifically this is concerning the [ div ] bb code. If you don't use it, or know what it is, you are unaffected.

 

[Lyra 'Sybila' Voikryt]

Should we be getting ready to transition away from div in general to help with fps or is the rest of the general div bg post stuff aside from the 'background-attachment: fixed;' not on the chopping block at this time?

 

[Tefka]

Divs are not going away.

People will just catch hands if they misuse them. These rules set those expectations and limitations.

More are coming I’m just listening out for them rn.

Just out of curiosity, what about one-time posts like a character bio? Or is it not to be used period?

 

[Tefka]

These bans apply to all posts

I speak old people. The fine young dude Darth Metus made me a purdy template (probably the only word I understand from MySpace times). I have no idea what CSS is, but I do have a background image in my template. If anyone would take a look at that for me and tell me what to dump, I would be thankful!

Yeah, at the very bottom of your div the background can be seen, and the foreground scrolls past it, while the background doesn't move. That would need to be fixed. Simple solution is just remove "background-attachment: fixed;" from the div.

Pom Stych Tivé Actually, the most recent one you used looks fine. The one before that had that attachment. You use two different variant divs for posts?

My two different posts to the open thread with TSO? So the black text area is still ok to do, just the rose background image has to go? I actually did have it in every RP post, but the text area was just too wide to show it! I didn’t even realize it was in there until a few days ago when I tweaked the width.

Thank you!!

It doesn't have to go, just needs to not be fixed. If you send me the code you're using, I can play with it a bit. Alter it just a bit, see if you like it.

Thanks so much! I think I did good. I just deleted the code you specifically mentioned. Posted a test to my profile. Image scrolls now.
