You used to be able to do custom CSS in your profile if you knew how. Then we got rid of that feature. BUT people who still had the custom CSS could keep it provided they never edited their profile again. That is what you are seeing.

Curious, but can someone tell me what HTML is allowed in profiles? Is it the same as the wiki currently indicates is supported across the site?
I wanted to add HREF anchors so folks could get to specific sections of interest in my profile, and apparently these elements are not supported.
Unless I did something wrong, they were filtered out everytime I tried.

Besides some shitty AskMe trolling questions and weird hatey throwaway comments he'd toss around, he took advantage of a dictionary attack someone did against the MeFi passwords (before they were stored encrypted-like) and went on a multi-user lulz attack on the site via multiple accounts on U.S. Thanksgiving and fucked up a nice time I was trying to have with my family.
He is one of the few people for whom we have seriously considered revoking the Brand New Day policy, though when he asked, we deleted his "should I hire a prositute?" question because he was trying to get a cleaner Internet slate. He's back under another username and on a short leash.

Choose your background color, upload one background image, where would you like it positioned, that sort of thing? Now that I mention that, I suppose it is too much trouble.

Have you ever watched a movie where the protagonist has to put up with 10 weeks of bootcamp with a hard-assed sarge, or two years in a WWII prisoner of war camp, or six months on a chain gang, or whatever, and thought to yourself, "I could hack that."?
Well here's your chance to prove it either way to yourself. If you can go 14 days without nicotine, you've basically beaten smoking. Start the clock now.

Back before CSS was banned, I was playing around with it quite a bit, especially with transparency effects as they display in different browsers. I put that up, then CSS was blocked. Since then a number of small changes in the page have made it look increasingly skewed. I just haven't bothered to change it.
So I leave it to you guys to decide. Send me a MeFi Mail with your opinion, and in a few days I'll post the results and comply with the majority opinion. The choices are to remove it for generic blue or leave it as is. If nobody responds, I'll just leave it up.

Jonmc, good luck, and I'm rooting for you. I had a friend who couldn't quit smoking until the 5th time she tried. She started chewing on liquorice root so she'd have something to fixate on orally while she fought the nic craving. I think she emptied out the supply of every health store in a 100 mile radius.

Damn. Thank you to BrotherCaine for pointing out that the CSS on my page hides the option to send me MeFi Mail (All the more impressive when you realize that's the method by which he contacted me). Sending me messages requires either 1) The ability to do inline CSS editing, 2) the ability to do inline JavaScript editing, 3) the ability to forge HTTP headers, or 4) my removing the custom CSS from the profile. The first three require a bit of programming savvy likely to be above the average MeFite's abilities, while the fourth forces my hand irreversibly on the very issue I requested mailing about. Therefore, default to favorites... Favorite my former message if you want me to keep the CSS, and favorite this one if you want me to remove it. Favorite neither if you just don't give a damn. (For the record, BrotherCaine voted to keep the CSS.)

javascript:document.getElementById('contact').submit();It will do the job, but only because of a quirk that allows JS to run in the address bar.
