Hi All

I thought I'd post a line of script that collates some of my more subtle css changes into one stylesheet.
You can insert into your custom code and save a whole load of space in your advanced css section which, for some reason, is considerably tighter on the number of characters you can use in the Design Studio than in the Classic Editor.

So, this collates the following tips:

Simple tip: Save space on Profile Information section

Comments in a speech bubble.

Slicker
 looking messaging area

Inbox and Friend Request Alert CSS - next best thing to onsite notifications?

Why these? Well, they are areas of the site that can afford the slight delay while your network loads the script (last) compared to some other sections that need to look right as soon as the page loads and therefore need the css to be put in the advanced css section.

Anyway, here is the code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11386766?profile=original"/>


Simply put in your custom code.

  • You are best!

  • dont put it in your custom code wich loads last put the link code in your ads above header so it loads 1st

    i have removed all my css from the design studios advanced css box and moved it all to an external file http://www.dreadlockssite.com/extra.css

    then i put the

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.dreadlockssite.com/extra.css"/>

    in my ads above the header box as the very 1st line

    only the ningbar styling has a split second where the style loads after the ningbar everything else on the page is read after the css so no delay at all

      That's why this is used on low impact CSS elements, items on pages that can afford the lag.
      The more text boxes on a network, the slower the load time, plus I don't want a situation where some extra

      tags suddenly appear in the ad box (as we all know can happen with text editors on Ning) and disrupting the look of my site. But your approach is a valid alternative.Cheers
