Question

Suggestion: Allow subscribers to save/edit CSS rules for custom themes

Answer 1

I think it's a good idea... But there could be many flaws that come with that, don't you think?

Answer 2

idk yo. It'd be entirely client side, and if they mess something up, they could just undo it.

Answer 3

Then yeah, it's a good idea

Answer 4

Its already in my extension, this was sopposed to be my project, :P

Answer 5

JS is usefull for various plugins i dont have incorporated into my extension xD

Answer 6

Ok, but some people don't want to have to use an extension for OS features. Not having ads is a subscription feature, but you can also use adblock. Ya get me?

Answer 7

i gotttt uuuu

Answer 8

There aren't much subscriber on OS.

Answer 9

subscribers*

Answer 10

wait if where does the money go when ppl subscribe

Answer 11

It goes to Preetha...

Answer 12

oh so the mods dont get share of it when they r the ones helping

Answer 13

The mods moderate voluntarily.

Answer 14

oh

Answer 15

I'm well aware that there aren't a lot of subscribers. Adding more benefits for subscription would make being a subscriber more attractive, and would most likely increase the amount of subscribers, thus making more money for OS, so preetha can finally afford an active dev team.

Answer 16

na OS is good how it is tbh

Answer 17

Not really. It's a humongous bugfest, the only place where you have a good chance of getting reliable help is the math section, the mod tools are very limiting, it's lacking in usability features, etc. etc.

Answer 18

I am not going to lie that is very true only the math is very reliable. I asked a question in like Spanish it took about a day to get an answer and it wasn't even right

English and History are active.

Answer 20

The difference is my extension is helping the site...
Adblock would be hurting it, that is unless it is a profit friendly adblock that removes ads 3 seconds after they load.

Answer 21

English and history may be active, but in those groups, it's more peer-to-peer studying/helpinh, whereas in math, you have geniuses like ganeshie8, Hero, Zarkon, Directrix, robotobey, phi etc.

Answer 22

Also, jay, that's not the point. A lot of people don't care that adblock lowers ad revenue, they just don't want to see ads. As stated earlier, the point of this post is a suggestion to make subscription more attractive so that more people subscribe.

Answer 23

Yep, I block ads with adblock.

Answer 24

" make subscription more attractive so that more people subscribe."

Yes, the subscription needs an update because just having the logo next your title isn't that interesting. If i am not mistaken, you can edit CSS using inspect but that doesn't save. But that is a great idea :D But with CSS, you can also rearrange everything in the site also so that is one scary side.

Answer 25

Right, but if you wanna jank up the site and save it, it'd still be entirely client-side. It wouldn't be editing the css file stored in OS's file server, it'd be kinda like tumblr themes (this is in no way an endorsement for tumblr. tumblr is the worst thing ever.)

Answer 26

Some people could screw it up and for example push the reset button out of the screen hahaha. Just a theme editor would suffice I guess.

Answer 27

A good idea. Able to edit themes is fine. Why do you want to use CSS now. Well for able to use a CSS format, admin authority over website should be given. And thats not possible.

Answer 28

It would be like uploading a profile picture or something. There would be a default file to go off of, it would be editable, and the page would load a different file for each user.
