It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
If you like, I can put together a lightweight template based on the current design that will be easier for you to implement since it will only contain the bare-bones CSS code. Starting from scratch is sometimes more efficient than trying to remove unnecessary bits from the existing code.
There are some websites that do that automatically (removed unused css) However, some functionality may break while doing so. But I think it is worth trying

It looks like you are not rushing to update the new design, which fits my schedule as well.
If you wnat to learn CSS, i think it will be fast and easier if you take a look at this css framework https://getbootstrap.com/ It is an amazing framework, used everywhere. It is simple to use and will save you a lot of time coding (your current design uses a few bootstrap elements)
I wouldn't mind, but I don't really have the time. And I'm just really not good at designing anything graphical (apart from the code part).
Somehow I always end up procrastinating updating the design. I like data much more than graphical stuff. However, with all the above tips, I managed to add a design to addresses.loyce.club:
Congrats! I know how it is hard to work with someone else's code, specially when you are learning a new language.! Well done!

Unfortunately, some of the other links on top aren't working at the moment (cheap servers tend to disappear after a while). Long-term, I want to add this design to loyce.club's main page too. But first, I should get a bit more comfortable with the CSS. It still feels like I don't really know what I'm doing with CSS, so this took quite some time.

I managed to fix your footer, which was not displaying correctly
in the begining of your page, add the class pb-0 (which means padding-bottom:0) in your div:
Code:
Then, you should move your footer section tag outside of the container div (The Container class is what make that horizontal padding/margins around your page, centering it. Your footer and your navbar should not be inside it.)

If you want a big retangle with a background you will have add a background atribute to the DIV which contain the code tags (similar to FatFork solution). like this:
Look for this div tag, whicih contain the code tags, and add bg-light to its class. You can see other predefined colors here:
Code:
Sample:
...
I think FatFork solution to use
instead of is good, but you will lose semantics. The ideal would b e style the tag as you want. Not a big deal anyway...
This has the same problem: there is white space between the lines.

I think you should go to a full minimalist page or a beautiful responsive page with a 100-200kb css file like the one you are working on. It is hard to have a beautiful responsive layout with a 10kb css file...
I don't mind the file size, but it makes it so much harder to find which part causes something.
It feels like the 183 kB all.css is far too advanced for what I'm using it for.
Yeah, it kind of is. Probably because of the use of media queries for responsive design but I bet you also have a bunch of selectors that you will never even use.
There isn't much you can do. To use this layout you will need to use this css file... You can try to remove some of it, but it is not that simple (it may break some responsive stuff, or some events like some hovers,dropdown, etc).
An alternative would be to use an open web standard such as bootstrap, which would be easier to code, but it wouldn't work with this layout and the file size would be almost the same.

This is because you have multiple instances of .xBlank class selectors in your CSS. Your CSS uses media queries to apply different styles for different media types/devices (responsive web design). If you want to remove (reduce) vertical white space in the desktop view you need to find the following code in CSS (it should be around line 9745):

About code tags, you just need to add where you want to look like code. ~ and add in your Css for different colors for balance and address, if you want:
Thanks, that was easy. I don't need different colors, so I changed it to this:
But I'm kinda stuck: total CSS-n00b here. What I'd like to do is add some better formatting, kinda like the forum's code-tags for instance, a bit less vertical white space, and some headers. But again: total CSS-n00b here
So.... it took me only slightly more than a year to get to use this. I'm going to add it first to my List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance. It currently looks like a list of file names, and I want it to look a bit like this. But I'm kinda stuck: total CSS-n00b here. What I'd like to do is add some better formatting, kinda like the forum's code-tags for instance, a bit less vertical white space, and some headers. But again: total CSS-n00b here
I choose my Bitcoin data instead of my Bitcointalk data because this are only a few pages:
I'll explain why I didn't continue adding a design yet: I was waiting to first update my "oldposts" into lists per user and per topic. Unfortunately, I messed up a few times, including shutting down the wrong PC, so I had to start over. It takes quite a lot of resources, and at the current rate I expect this to finish in about 3 weeks (unless I mess up again).
Just a little suggestions with bitmover's search tool[1], it is a good practice to limit the possible entries of the user's input. In example, I can search for negative numbers and it will return nothing of course. But it is a good practice in UX to maintain inputs with less unnecessary options. To restrict the negative input in the form control, you can just simply add its minimum value.
Code:
This would then limit the possible input from the user, restricting the unnecessary negative numbers. It can also be used to have the lowest possible result, like: 12 is the lowest UID, 6 is the lowest number TopicID, while 28 still remains the lowest value possible and undeleted post for mssgID (since using less than 28 would just redirects the user to the overall summary). Code to be edited are as follows:
Shorter cleaner code less prone to failure - will work for any length, or at least while LoyceV keeps 10k files per folder. Might be faster but in this case I don't think it matters much.
Granted right now what you have works fine so no real need to change until we get to 100 million posts
Your solution indeed looks cleaner.
But I didnt understand why would this bug with a bigger length
Code:
var topfolder = top.substring(0, top.length-4);
I am removing the last four digits, no matter the size
Why is it better not to use length? Faster processing?

I didn't archive posts yet when that topic was created. I scraped the posts later, the first post for instance is archived as oldposts #31577013. I have those posts only sorted by msgID, not by topicID. I'm currenly processing all data, but at the rate it's going, it's going to take a few weeks to complete. It's not very efficient, and therefore takes a lot of processing power. I only now realize I should also process these posts per userID, and I should have done that from the start, so I'll have to restart this. It'll takes a bit longer again Stuff like this would be so much easier from a database, but luckily I'll only have to do this once (more).
So you don't need to take the first 3 digits, you need to remove the last 4 digits. The logic behind this is that I create directories with at most 10,000 files. I checked for a few userIDs too, those seem to work fine.
You did almost everything for me Made a small code change, now it is working.

You are sending request to their servers, they will save at least your IP request there. There is no need to do that. You can just download the font and use it in your own server.
No offence, but to me, this sounds a little paranoid, doesn’t it? I mean, we talking here about font style. I am not sure is it possible to be 100% safe over the internet if you use all of his resources. It can easily change an IP address, restarting router. Maybe I am naive, but I really don't see a serious problem here.
But in this case there is no reason to get the fonts from their servers, and it is like 1kb file, why don't you host it? It may be paranoid, but it is more a matter of philosophy about the web imo.
I'm not familiar with this, is this the standard accepted thing nowdadays? Do users not care about external tracking? Or am I just too concerned?
It is bad for privacy and for page loading times. But it is good to keep your libraries updated. Personally, I download everything and I run it in my own server. I don't care about updates.

I'd like to add a submenu under the top-menu though, like examplens made here. under "MERIT", but it might make it a lot larger and more complicated to make changes (to so many pages) later. How would I start editing this? Just manual with an editor, or is there a better GUI method to do so? Again: total n00b here when it comes to designing things.
This is called a dropdown.
Bootstrap is a very nice design language, which you will probably like.

I like the top-menu and the simple design to add some more pages. It'll take me a while to figure out all details how everything works to adjust things.

I like the simplicity, but I'm really looking for something I can add to all my pages. So a top-menu to add everywhere. Tables can for sure improve Trust list pages, but that'll also complicate a lot of the things where I use the same HTML. So maybe I'll add this much later, but it's too much work to do that now too.
language/ software to scrape data and to keep it realtime update
Anything you want should work. Sorry for giving a generic answer, but what works for me probably won't work for you. One thing though, if you start the right way, you'll save a lot of time later. I clearly didn't think it through doing this without database.

How to build up a simple website
Didn't this topic make it very obvious I know nothing about designing a website? Putting it online is as simple as getting hosting and uploading it. Other than that, this isn't the right topic to get into details.
I like both a bit, but not the animations. It gave me more of an idea what I want: a menu (CSS?) on top would fit nicely in all (few million) pages I have, so I can add it above for instance https://loyce.club/trust/2020-10-03_Sat_05.09h/1554927.html too. I think that would largely improve usability. I have to go soon, so I'll continue later.
The topicIDs and userIDs will work much better if I process all data I have. I should have time to fix this in the weekend. Todo for myself: Finished! I should make a custom 404 that contains your search box for anything under https://loyce.club/archive/posts (and more URLs)
I missed a 5, the high number is 55310200. With this clarified: is it possible to combine "msgID" and "Old Posts" into one field, with post 51904009 being the first one to go to "msgID" and anything lower than that going to "Old Posts"? That would be much better than having to explain the difference.
Just did! Now both scripts oldposts and msgID are combined in the same input box. I made a few tests and it looks ok. Tell me if you notice any bug.
This was quite easy to do, I can help you with similar demands if you need.
I didn't understand. Your low post number (25000030) is higher than the high post number (5310200). Is it the opposite?

Please feel free to change text/instructions/title etc
I haven't added "oldposts" to the member/topic-directories yet. I need some time to script it, it would indeed be better to have all posts archived in all categories.
LoyceV is not a fox despite foxpup avatar As bitcointalk members will use this website, maybe we should also vote on designs to help LoyceV make better decision.
He needs only CSS file/s to put in all HTML pages, it will already look different. Now I just find fox.exchange, less known than Metamask. It seems more than similar is as well @Peanutswar design. Red-white colour and Fox with polygon design in there.

I'm sorry I dont know what metamask is, I just use the reference of the fox came from the avatar of the fox up merit cycling club and make it in a low polygon design, I'm not intended to steal any kind of art work. Sorry if this looks like metamask, I will make a re-design of it thank you on your feed back.
I think the main problem with metamask is that it is not related to bitcoin, making a clear comparison to ethereum (which has nothing to do with the website)

don't waste your time until LoyceV doesn't decide will use that design. Changing or removing the logo is the last thing there. He can just upload the CSS file and point to them in his pages. I think, his priority is something other rather than design
I recommend not using the MetaMask symbol, at least so as not to confuse newbies. If I were the creator of Metamask, I would take it as plagiarism and take steps to protect the identity of my product. page templates, UI Kits, and freebies for your projects.

Common LoyceV you can do it I like what examplens showed in his examples (but it can be improved), just don't forget to enable option for dark/light switch if possible. It is important to have quick and easy navigation with back and forward buttons. Responsive design would also be nice for easier browsing on all devices.
I would rather have a page that I can load quickly and easily than a page that looks like another blog template that was shoehorned in simply because the site-owner wanted a "modern look" rather than focusing on functionality.
Here some idea what it might look like https://landofcrypto.com/Loyce.Club/ also check "TEST table" menu or: https://landofcrypto.com/Loyce.Club/page1.html you will need to change the structure of your results pages then you can have well-sorted data table. I uploaded this to my hosting and everyone can check it. If you want to use them, I will send you all the files. I didn't link everything, but it's not a big deal to do if you want to use it. Also, I can comment code, if necessary for easier handling.
it is quite coincidental that the colours are compatible with @irfan_pak10 website and ads design.
I wouldn't be against this, but it has to fit in the design somehow. I've thought about making a weekly auction to advertise on my Trust list viewer: an advertisement could be at the bottom of all pages for week 56 for instance (so under http://loyce.club/trust/2020-02-08_Sat_07.44h/350580.html and 10,000+ other pages). The advertisement would remain in place for as long as I can keep all older versions. But that would also look far more desperate for advertising than I really am

Any other specific requirements? Like color preferences, theme or you want something that just looks good and serves the purpose of the site? I haven't done HTML/CSS in a while but wouldn't mind spending a couple of hours over the weekend. - I'm in
I've created loads of useful data on Bitcointalk, and there are many more topics too. I host most of my data on loyce.club, which was never meant to be a landing page when someone needs my data. However, I've been asked before to add an index there, and it would be nice to have a better page design.
So here it goes: Is there someone willing to create something nice with CSS and other magic? It should still be easy to (manually) add new links to other data in the future, and I prefer no complicated stuff with scripting or databases and stuff, but just something to make it look a bit better!
I'm hoping to make this a community thing: it could be community voted if there are more entries, or it could be just anything. There's not really a budget for designs, if you do this you do it for the community, and for eternal fame while it lasts
Obviously, this topic was a rush-job too, and I like to use it to make the point that I'm absolutely not into making good-looking designs
Putting it online is as simple as getting hosting and uploading it. Other than that, this isn't the right topic to get into details.
