Dear IPBoard...

Posted by Jelly, 26 May 2016 · 653 views

  • Why do you !important so many things?
  • Why do you use only unique classes, breaking CSS inheritance?
  • Why haven't you moved to modern CSS for your gradients and rounded corners?
  • Why is your default layout table-heavy and not responsive?
XO, Jelly

The biggest problem I've had designing stuff on here is overriding IPBoard garbage. But, it's always more rewarding to force a site to bend to your whim with CSS than to be able to control everything. It's a love/hate relationship, coding on here and Neopets. I hate how cumbersome it is but love a challenge.





We haven't yet upgraded to IP.Board 4.0 yet so that may play a part in why things are so "backwards" and "old" in their ways. There are things in the new incarnation of the forum software that would more than likely address your points above, unfortunately we won't be going to 4.0 in the near future purely based on the way our custom applications are set up currently.

I meant no shade to you guys :) Forum systems as a whole tend to be pretty clunky, and I've certainly coded on worse.
