NOTE: I am aware that this thread was very wide. I disabled my layout for this reason. And, this is the 30,000th post in General Chat!
Unlike ABXD and BlargBoard, AcmlmBoard layout system a bit simpler than those. Start like this for the post header:
The brackets hold the css data in them. Separate different CSS value with a ; and a space before using the new one, no return (enter) key will work here. You can customise shit there, examples includes:
Here, colour is 'maroon' and url defined to an image. This mean, that there is a backup if the URL does not load. repeat makes the background repeat. There are more background values you can use, I am not listing them.
Creates a post border. This looks nice. Use 'px' or 'em' and a hex colour code. Types of border include: solid, dotted, ridge, and rounded.
Padding does something to the alignment of the text. Font size should be done in em and not px: users will be able to resize your post text if you use em sizes instead of px. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS USE FALLBACK FONTS IN YOUR LAYOUT! If you wish to - like I did - put serif or sans-serif so the user can decide what default font is used instead of ugly Times New Roman. A good idea is to use something like Frutiger, Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif - so that if Frutiger and Lucida Sans Unicode do not exist on the system (e.g. on dictatorish iPads) then a user's specified font can still be used! Colour is the font colour. Text align is duh. When you're done, make a new value called #PostFooter (no enter key remember) and make the css for that, and finish it with a closing style tag. After closing the style tag, put this: [/code] |

This layout template isn't good, I'm going to make another layout guide later on, although I don't have the time now as I'm packing my hard drive for holiday with videos and such. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

In all honesty, I believe that there should be a better way that you implement your background image. If you look through old threads on here in which many users each have their own unique layout, even with background images, none of them plaster a large static background image that can be seen through your post, and depending on the scroll placement of your post, a different part of the image is visible. It just seems bad to me. However, that's just my own personal opinion. I feel like you should code your layout differently. Maybe ask someone else for help to make sure that it's visibly friendly and cooperative with the board and the viewing of any given thread.
Now, I wouldn't know where to start personally, but maybe you can ask  blackhole89 for advice on how it could work better with the way the whole board works.
If I'm misunderstanding anything with how your layout is currently implemented, well then, I guess ignore this. Either way, I still feel like while I'm scrolling through a thread in which you've posted multiple times, and you can see the same exact image in the same exact place through all of them, while at the same time the image is basically immediately behind everyone else's post positions, it just feels invasive to me. |

You have a point.
I can't seem to get the layout to work properly, it seems to cut off on the post layout due to using separate DIVs, but I don't know how to work around that, although a lot of people hate the fact I used a fixed background in the layout. The reason I didn't make the post box opaque is because it basically defeats the image of having the layout, when the main aspect is Cammy's face, which would be blocked from view if I were to make it opaque. Apparently the default Android browser completely crashes the moment it sees my layout because of the way it handles fixed scrolling, but most other browsers seem to ignore the fixed property and display it completely off. It's coded from a template found on Kuribo64, in fact, and modified from there, because I know little to nothing of CSS2.1/CSS3: otherwise this layout would look absolutely atrocious and badly-made. Sorry. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

I might as well confirm this works on both ABXD and Blargboard, but those types of boards realized that they could make "better" layouts or whatever |

It still works on any acmlm-based board, however. I've tested the same layout on Jul, Kuribo64, and RHcafe, all which use different softwares.
It's pretty basic, but the tutorial is for newbies..  |

@Quick Curly: Is this layout okay?
While it uses the same thing of plastering a background image, it's instead a smaller image tiled (and a PNG so transparent background), I also didn't make it fixed (doesn't scroll) should be less invasive 
I don't know how to improve a few assets on it though because I want to make quotes appear darker box than the normal text.
(Actually I just changed the opacity from 0.33 to 0.69 and it looks a lot better) ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

Posted by Popo It needs a lot of work. I don't know much CSS, this layout here is pretty much copied from a template at Kuribo64. (If StapleButter sees this: there's little point IP banning me from simply viewing the board. If you want the IP range my IPs tend to be in, email me and I'll send it to you, but just put it on the register page - I still want to view some of the content on there.) Nothing fancy, but I'm not really a fancy person, to be honest. I don't know for instance how to apply different styling to the quotes or other div elements, might ask blackhole89 for any help on that. For me the post layout is supposed to express you as a person throughout your posts and enhance it. I did get the background to not break at the bottom for my old one, but not anymore, I think because it was fixed it would scroll with the top and therefore it looked like it was the same. Also this layout guide is old and really bad as I already stated. It dates back to when I was still unbanned on Jul, as a matter of fact, which was just over a year ago from today, I believe. Not sure if you can block layouts on here, but feel free to do so if it works for you. Also Popo, I have a question, why haven't you posted for 7 years and then suddenly came back, wit a rather different post style? Just curious to know, I'm not assuming you were hacked, because I've seen you log in multiple times in the past. Good to know you're keeping the general chat forum active with the "feet" thread. Just changed the colour to white it should be more readable now. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

Posted by cderp4 It's like that because non-bolded would make the text impossible to read without almost completely blacking out Amy's adorable face. 😍 ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

actually I want to look away from your layout because it's so pink everywhere and.. no, that image does not tile, it shouldn't be like that |

Posted by cderp4 A common problem with AcmlmBoard layouts, I'm not sure how to fix the tiling on the footer. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |
