Forum improvements

[PvUtrix]

I've noticed that CSS Stylesheet is stored inside the template file and not in a separate one...
If it is moved to a separate file all the pages of the forum will become smaller and load faster :)

It's a 5 second job, but a very useful one

What kind of forum?

I assume you mean this one? I honestly haven't looked.

[PvUtrix]

yep, this one... just have a look at the source of this page

[Rids]

the CSS and templates are all stored seperately in the database and are only combined when the script calls them.

[ndndixie]

Same way Invision does. If you view source on it, you will see the css like it was a part of the page but it, images, templates......all stored seperately.

You can always set the template to use external css template rather place the css into the page. (:

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[PvUtrix]

if it aint broke, don't improve it?!

phpBB has the same thing, with a comment
/*
NOTE: These CSS definitions are stored within the main page body so that you can use the phpBB2
theme administration centre. When you have finalised your style you could cut the final CSS code
and place it in an external file, deleting this section to save bandwidth.

I appreciate the feedback, but the truth is this is a very low priority for us right now. Feel free to keep reminding me to do this, but don't hold your breath :).
