I would rather us try something new than to reuse the fyad speech bubbles

E: also other popups with messages when you post, like "piss tape is real, <username>", "wear the hat <username>", "imagine the smell <username>!" Etc, etc

I don't like the speech bubbles. They're funny but they're also tightly connected to FYAD and I don't want anything that reminds me of FYAD in here. Leave it in the ground where it belongs.

How often is this style sheet likely to get updated?

I assume not that often cause it's probably kind of a pain in the rear end.

As such, we should aim for wacky/irreverent/funny without relying too much on extremely current references. Decorum button instead of report, timeless leftist themes like red and black color scheme or the ghost of Marx, knockoffs of C-SPAN or cable news, etc.

The 2016 GOP primary background was hilarious at the time, but grows less relevant each passing day. Same goes for references to the piss tape, etc. Some day (inshallah) Trump will not be president anymore, so jokes about how insanely stupid his presidency was wont be as relevant.

Alternatively we could commit to a regular schedule of update/refresh to the theme, like every two years or every presidential election or w/e. But that sounds like more work for some poor admin

It's not all that hard to update a stylesheet even in the worst of implementations, I'd just wager the hard part would be getting Jeffrey's time to write the CSS. Given that you can't swing a stick without hitting someone that at least has passing knowledge of CSS around here, I'd bet if someone were to code it for him and submit the changes to him to be deployed that it would be pretty easy to get it updated regularly.

e: this is, of course, praxis

don't post on your own time, poo poo post on theirs

Yeah, I'd try not to gently caress with the colors/main forum visuals too much cause if I get caught looking at the gray forums versus something like BYOB it's a lot easier to look like I was doing something possibly productive.

plan for it not getting updated, just in case it isnt. we only know what is available rn, not necessarily what the admins will be willing/able to do in the future

If we were to ever get multiple stylesheet choices like FYAD had, this absolutely needs to be the background for the Kamala theme



Oh and when it comes to the main theme I second the idea for something twitter-inspired with blue checkmarks for platinum users

Also I don't know which one, but this should be one of the buttons

Can you choose a style sheet on iPad safari or does it have to be on a PC? Is it just a button built into the forum or some back end malarkey I have to do?

I agree. If this comes to fruition it will be the first serious launch of a forums style sheet in like 15 years, let's invent our own thing rather than just become a FYAD clone. Talking heads and chyrons seems to be going in a better direction
