discussion (Customization) How to make your profile look good.

[Animal_OG]

I'm not seeing the postbit surround/frame setting. Either I'm missing it, or it's reserved for Mods/Staff or other official types. If the latter, cool; if the former, where do I find it? Thanks.

I wondered. I didn't see dropdown choices, but maybe I was doing it wrong.

Thanks.

EDIT: Okay - looks like something I have to learn. Maybe later...

Check this out Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

Checked the link, also tried looking at the "elements" for folks with postbit surrounds and I'm not sure where to even start.

I'm really just trying to see what some simple syntax would be to give my postbit a simple surround, about the same width as the one around the avatar, with a very light glow effect using the color:

#B8860B​

rgb(184, 134, 11)​

Same color, but I don't know which color schema is supposed to be used.

If someone could post theirs, then I could fiddle with it myself - I learn best by seeing an example then picking up from there and experimenting. The problem is I need to see how to start before I can experiment.

Any help would be appreciated. I'll even be happy to pay a 100LC bounty to the first person that simply copies and pastes their postbit CSS here so that I can use it to experiment with.

I'd pay more for someone that could make a postbit surround that looks like a flat stack of alternating gold and sliver coins that appears to be in motion going around my postbit.

Thanks for any help.

I used this post by @Mr. Hyde as a guide first
Looking for custom postbit CSS :

background-color: #18303C; /* Dark Blue Background */
color: #B8C0C6; /* Light Grey Text */
border: 2px solid #5E89A6; /* Light Blue Border */
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 10px;
position: relative;
background-image: url('path_to_your_background_image.jpg'); /* Path to your repeating background */
background-repeat: repeat;

I copied it and used chatgpt to customize it accordingly (i asked it to add a glow effect to the css code) and also removed some lines i didn't wanna use, so i ended up with this for my postbit

background-color: transparent; /* No Background */
color: #FFFFFF; /* White Text */
position: relative;

/* Glowing effect for the border */
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #FF0000, 0 0 20px #FF0000, 0 0 25px #FF0000;

Idk if this is possible. One thing i tried is asking chatgpt to animate my glow effect in a pulsating pattern. It generated code for that but LC couldn't save it when i tried that, so i had to scrap it.

Not an expert on this so maybe there is a way to make something animated like that, but i failed to do that

Many thanks! Got something good enough for now. Changed my colors and widths from what you posted, but otherwise unchanged. Tried to initiate a "trade" but haven't done that before - you may just need to accept it and it's a done deal.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks, this is a good tutorial.

How to: trade your LC Coins with someone

 

[User_109578]

I'll watch this thread for if I ever get the coins to get vip

I don't think I ever get so far, it was like 1500, I have now a bit above 1000, and then it became 1000 coins more... so I lost interest...

We got it figured out, but thanks for that.

Sorry man, I've been inactive... And I don't think I'll write a CSS tutorial anytime soon lol.
As the lads mentioned, you could also just describe the look you want to achieve and GPT4 will do it for you, or go on an html dev site and look around.
Thanks everyone for your answers and keeping this thread functional in my stead.

1st - start with the limited name selection due to all the past members taking the good names.

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

 

[Loscipher]

I will definitely be trying some of this once I'm able. But I'm pretty sure I'll never have a profile or signature as cool or animated quite like so many I've seen. Awesome job to those who've achieved this.
