I lack style
sheet

hmm... I'm gonna take a guess that you are using Opera (only because I know that is supposedly the smart dude's browser). I'm currently using Firefox. The only thing I'm seeing is in the Developer console under style editor. It shows a list of stylesheets and other style manipulating gave which seems to allow you to edit it and then beside each entry an option to "Save to File". Without trying this I'm envisioning that saving to file it would overide whatever stylesheets (or lack thereof) that are coming from cakewalk.com and using the locally stored ones.
 
I'm still a wicked n00b at all this so if anyone knows I'm curious. Really though I'd just want a local copy of a working version of the site CSS so when things go borky I can still view the site properly.
 
Then again I wouldn't mind stripping out any dumb, unnecessary scripts and whatnot because that shiz annoys me. Ever since they made it so you HAVE to allow googleapis to log in and/or post I haven't been participating as much. As soon as I allow it here it loads google crap in any other browser tab I have open to a site that uses it.... and I don't like that.
 
Freakin' creepy arse google.

I thought they banned me from styles...

So, uh... exactly what do you do with them when the forum breaks? I can easily save those, copy/paste/save but then what, the next time the forum looks like usenet (or worse)? Thanks, really. I may just learn something here.

@Drew...
 
Taking "LMGTFY" to a whole new level... lulz.
 
Thanks. I'll check it out but mostly just to see how to force FF to obey out of curiosity. I hadn't even really considered being able to store style sheets locally until you mentioned it and the site usually starts barfing up proper code before I get too antsy. Still cool and definitely stuff I should know by now.
 
Cheers.

I have a "user style sheet" for forum.cakewalk .com that contains the contents of those style sheets. So after the site loads, then my browser loads my user style sheet and apples the formatting therein.
 
You need to figure out how to use site specific user style sheets for whatever browser you are using (it may require a browser extension providing this functionality be installed). I think most modern browsers allow for global (applies to all sites) user style sheets, but I'm not sure about site specific (i.e. it only applies formatting to forum.cakewalk.com) sheets for different browsers. That's what the first Google link I gave was there as a starting point for. Unfortunately I can't walk anyone how to do this for browsers I don't work with.
 
It's unfortunately not common knowledge that browsers can even do this because it's very powerful stuff for anyone capable of writing basic HTML/.css formatting. And it could still be useful for others just to cut and paste someone else's formatting code.
