css?

[RichTheTitch]

I want to put what is in the <style> tags on my forums (http://forums.bit-tech.net) into a separate CSS file to save on excess data transfer.

I think I have read somewhere before that vBulletin does not like just copyint the contents of the style tags straight into a css file without needing to edit a load of stuff elsewhere.

Or should I not bother?

I hope I posted this in the correct forum :nervous:

vB2 uses very little CSS by default, for the very few entries that are there its not worth it unless you intend to customise most of your templates to use CSS.

vB3 however uses CSS alot more so this would be worth while.

To extend on what NTLDR said, vB3 is extraordinarily reliant on CSS, at least based on the pre-release style set.

If you want to save bandwidth, I suggest putting all of your CSS classes in a separate .css file (or multiple files), and don't inline any of your CSS (use classes stored in the .css file(s) instead).

The only problem is that NS4 won't render your stuff worth a d*** (trust me, I printed out and read front-to-back a 38-page list of NS4 CSS bugs) and it'll look like total crap. But NS4 has been out of active development for a while now and is, I'm guessing, less than 1% of all browser usage now.
