Characters
Hello,
I don't know what changed but suddenly all of my characters (over
85 of them) seem to have their portraits not floating to the right
AND it looks like the whole webpage has been moved up so that you
can't click on the edit button or see their name.
Here is an example:

This could be due to our new feature of allowing custom global CSS, have you looked into them yet? I'll get Micah in here to answer any specific questions if you have them.

No I am sorry to say that I have not heard anything about that. I am just a little bit disappointed that all that hard work that looked good for a couple of months is now compromised by the changes. I am self taught in CSS and HTML and coding (with a lot of help from Wolfhound) so I am not even sure what I would need to change to make this work out like it should.

The new custom CSS allows you to extract all your styling rules from the HTML and put them in a central place. This way, your CSS rules will be applied on every page of your campaign.
For example, I see on your page that you have this in the style attribute on one of your tags:
style="width:670px;left:10px;padding:6px;border-style:solid;border-color:black;border-width:2px;background-color:white;border-radius:6px;min-height:275px;"
With the custom CSS option, you can put that rule in one place and then it will be applied to all div's with the "whiteBox" class. That's much, much easier than pasting it into every single page, especially when you want to make a change.
As part of adding the new custom CSS feature, we also made some changes to the underlying HTML markup to hopefully make it easier to do styling in the future. We standardized some classes, added a few IDs, and generally tried to make things easier to style. Unfortunately, this might conflict with existing styling, which is probably what happened here.
I hate to say it, but the best course of action is to extract all the styling out of the HTML and put it in the custom CSS location. It's laborious, but you'll see immediately how the custom CSS will save loads of work in the future.
If you need more help, just ask on the forums. There are a lot of people there who are skilled in CSS and can give tips on how to fix most problems.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
