    Okay, as pretty much anyone from the RPC has probably noticed by now, for a while now every time I post CSS it has gone weird in some way like randomly adding in repeated lines of code or messing around with the way things are spaced and I don't know why. It is evening happening to old posts that I have gone back into and edited that were originally fine.

    I thought it was my internet at first but I don't see how this is possible, but it's only me so it probably is. Either way I'm posting here to cover all my bases. Does anyone know why this is happening, how can I fix it and get my CSS back to normal?
     
    Sorry about the post earlier, eep; hope you didn't mind it. Hm... well, stuff like this could happen if you put a quotation mark at the beginning of your code and forget to add one at the end (or vice versa). Could you check to make sure if you're making these kind of mistakes or not? Also, never forget to place semi-colons between each of your CSS element; if you do, they could wind up messing things up for you. Sorta tricky, I know. @_@"

    Our of curiosity, are you using the WYSIWYG editor? That might be the cause of your problem.
     
    Okay I'm going to need more examples of where it has been going wrong, but from what I can see, you're mixing a lot of BB code in with your CSS. This can cause things to duplicate or give unwanted results. This is common when you use the enhanced WYSIWYG vB editor. Problem is that you're pressing the buttons that add the BB code into your CSS, and some BB code is left there needlessly, messes up your code, and things break. It's little to do with PC.

    What I suggest is, if you use CSS, use it consistently. Use as little BB code as possible, use span and divs around your text with relevant codes to style them if they're within CSS, rather than using BB code. The best thing which will help you is to switch to the basic WYSIWYG editor when coding if you have issues with duplication. You can change this by going to Your Options > Miscellaneous Options > Message Editor Interface and switching your editor type.
     
    Okay, I have switched back to the old editor and I'm still having the same trouble. Even the most basic stuff like centred spoilers and inserting images not just fancy backgrounds and the like is going wrong.

    I'm going to post a picture to demonstrate soon. Sorry for any confusion caused by the lack of photo evidence.
     
    Sorry I took so long to post these

    This is the IC thread for my RP, which I haven't updated since the problem started occurring.

    Spoiler:



    This is the OOC, which has been updated and as a result has experienced the problem.

    Here is a similar example of the problems that occur, similar to what happened to my sig.
