went to try to pop in a temporary overlay for a new pet and for whatever reason the code i use on my other pets has, for one, been turned into amp;lt amp;gt gibberish (instead of the less than / greater than symbols) and, secondly, doesn't seem to be registering at all once i save it in either format.

it just turns the borders of the site completely white and removes the pet image altogether. did something change in the past year or something in regards to css use? how do i fix it?

there was an instance where all profile code got converted into ASCII format, but was still working - for the most part. the easiest way to fix it is to copy the code into a program like microsoft word and do a "find and replace all" for each instance of the garbled code. for example, find what you know is supposed to be an open angle bracket (<) and copy whatever it's been changed to into the "find" text box, then "replace all" with the correct character (in that case, <).

however, though it looks messy, that actually wouldn't be interfering with the function of the code. if it's still not working, though, i don't know what the issue could be. try just clearing the overlay code and replacing it. this is probably the same as what you already have, but just in case, this is the one i use:

{background:url(URL); width:200px; height:200px} and of course, match the width and height to the dimensions of the image you're using (probably 200x200 if you're sticking with the subeta standard).
