ruu's profile, apparently the background isn't working for a friend? it works for me on three devices and for my brother but i'd really... hate to know it doesn't load for others orz for the record, this is how it should look ; v ;

It's working fine for me. If you are using imgur as a host, it should not have issues loading.

It's possible your friend is having a different issue though. Maybe ask them to send a screenshot, and for their screen resolution/browser, to troubleshoot?

i'm actually using photobucket because i'm stuck in 2010 i like how organized it feels lmao.........

thank you for checking though! ; v ; she did send me a screenshot and the resolution shouldn't be the problem since it loads on my phone welp hopefully it's just a local hiccup and it works well everywhere else

@ Thespian just a thought if they're a subeta player; if they're using the hidden lumi site theme it basically breaks pet profiles(?) so you can't see backgrounds and all you see is the color x) that's what i see bc it's my theme rn! (but if i switch themes i see the proper bg n_n)

[edit] not gonna ping bc i think you solved it but idk if there is a code, haven't seen one so i just know to change site themes if im looking at pet profiles lol :x

ahhh thank you so much i didn't know that!! i asked her but that's probably why~ and is there a way to code around this by any chance? ; v ;

I don't think it is the site theme. I'm not using that theme and the background doesn't load for me when I use firefox. It does load when I use chrome though. I think it is a problem with photobucket since the image doesn't load for me either if I go to the direct link. I think the only way to avoid the problem is using a different image host.

welp guess imgur it is then ahaha is it loading now?

Yes it loads! :)

thank god xD thank you! o u o

Glad it was just a hosting problem. Usually the only issue with the Lumi theme is a thin black vertical line. Which can be fixed easily as the solution has been posted many times.

Try using these much smaller (in file size) versions of your images, it'll help page load times a bit. ❤ 1 2

Oh, you should take all the css applied to html, and move them to body.

omg thank you so much!! i literally never compress anything because i'm always scared the quality will drop noticeably but somehow those are............ exactly like the originals? wow that's amazing

also sorry if it's a dumb question but what changes if i apply it to body rather than html? o:

Image compression takes away quality and colours, but file compression takes out unnecessary data.

Almost always no difference in the end, it's just not standard. :p

Make a new thread here if you need help later on!

thank you! c:
