Advice to entrants: Use -moz-border-radius:0 on the .box, .big_box, .post, and .comment styles to keep boxy boxes. Specify a foreground color for .box and .big_box. If you override the new comment box, don't float it the right; trust me.

Actually, no! Thanks to the developer tool bar on Firefox, people can play with CSS all they want, and not have to worry about having a membership.

Err... yeah I suppose so. You could save the source of a member's site and edit the css for it offline though.

Which is actually how I've been doing it anyway, since I never mastered the use of FireFox CSS live-editing tools. Just save the page somewhere and edit the CSS. Actually you'll probably want to save several pages - main, blog, comments, forum, game-list (which'll be obsolete soon anyway), and so forth. You can also replace the stylesheet portion of each of those pages with: <link rel=stylesheet href=stylesheet.css type=text/css> Then just put your stylesheet information in the stylesheet.css file and it will update all of the pages you have saved. | |
Let me give you the quick rundown, because it's super simple.
1. Install "Web Developer" extension for Firefox. 2. Restart Firefox. Press "Ctrl+Shift+E". 3. Enjoy editing CSS in real time. 4. Thank me later. Also, to extend your CSS powers, try out the "CSSViewer" extension. It runs horribly slow, but it gives you every bit of CSS information you could ever want on anything you roll your mouse over. | |

I never said I didn't know how to install Firefox addons. :P I've had Web Developer installed and I actively use CSS Viewer, I just never bothered learning how to use Web Developer. Mostly because the extra bar annoys me, and I'm not sure if I can disable it. | |
Of course you can disable the extra bar. Just right click on it and uncheck "Developer Tool Bar". You still get the CSS editor, and all the extras are still in the right click menu. It's the way I use it. It's far more efficient to develop that way. You can be sure that Firefox will render it correctly, and it updates live, so no "ctrl+s>alt+tab>F5". Too bad it doesn't work with IE Tab, despite being impossible, it would be kickin' awesome.

Fine, fine, I'm using it now. Happy?
BUT, can you make it keep the CSS while you tour through your site? | |
Very. You're too talented of a designer to be doing things in inefficient ways. We need to producing at peak efficiency so our world will look better... or at least one guild on this site.

Kinda depends what kind of stylesheet you're looking for, doesn't it?
At the moment I'm pretty much limited to modifying other people's layouts. Changing colors and title images. But I'm good at making pretty pictures. :)
