    I just had a dream so intense that I need to write it down.....

    Did you ever have a dream that was so intense that you thought it was real and everything you saw actually happened?

    I just don't understand some people.....

    I was only out to buy some simple things today. I had some change left and I went to a nearby park to give it to a homeless person. I couldn't find one and went back to the train station and mall where I started. A man was standing there in front of the entrance, with heavy luggage, a huge backpack and a big suitcase. He asked me for change and said he has no place to sleep. I was unsure about

    I miss these glorious Saturdays.....

    I have seen this thread in the Crossover group about saturday morning cartoon openings (that's now deleted) in my feed and it triggered it..... The memory of the Saturdays when a new episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic aired. I miss these Saturdays..... Watching a new episode, waiting for an upload, downloading it, rewatching it 3 - 5 times, writing an analytical review of the episode

    Are you wondering where the plane flies to? Are you also thinking of someone who is far away?

    Happy Derpy Day, Derpy. :heart: May the muffins be forever in your favour.

    Selfishness has been my wrong motivator for the longest time..... and people don't see who I really am because of that.

    A lot of people in the fandom don't understand who I am and think of me as a bad person. My friend sometimes does, too, and doesn't trust me anymore because of that. There have been moments when she literally asked me "Who are you?". I was always thinking this was stemming from trust issues that she developed because of events in her past and I was only marginally attributing the cause for this

I updated my userscript: Return Banners to FIMFiction.net · 3:40pm Jun 9th, 2017

So, a thing some of you probably don’t know, is, that I as well have created a userscript to undo knighty’s changes and preserve the aesthetics of FIMFiction.net. Or, at least, I have modified a pre-existing one, because I’m a coding noob.
Back in 2014, when knighty removed the banners, I took the userscript by PiercingSight and modified it in a way so that not only the banners are shown, but the old site logo is on them as well. You can find this userscript here:

https://userstyles.org/styles/108589/return-banners-to-fimfiction-net

With the recent site downgrade, this userscript didn’t work anymore, but with the help of another userscript, the one by alamais that he made to put the banners behind the user bar, I was able to figure out which lines I have to replace.
The userscript does now show the banners again between the black and the Microsoft Blue Green nav bar. You can switch out the banners by replacing the URL as detailed in the notes of the script.
Unfortunately, the logo does still not work. Including the second URL for the logo leads to the script becoming defunct immediately.
I want to fix this by directly copying the logo on the banners, saving them under a different name, then uploading them myself and replacing the links to make the style work again with the logo.
It would be a lot of work, though, so this isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Feel free to take a look at the code and tell me what I need to change to make the logo work again, if you have CSS knowledge.
I will apply the necessary changes and bring it back then.

I finally figured out how to change the banner, but how do I keep it that way? Every time I refresh the page, it changes back to the default.

I updated the notes to make it easier for users of the script to change the banners.

Have you replaced the banner URL here?

background: url('https://static.fimfiction.net/images/logo-2x.png') top 50% left 10% no-repeat, url('https://static.fimfiction.net/images/custom_banners/solar_group.jpg') center center;

And did you click on "Save" in the top left corner afterwards?

I don't see the save button. Where exactly do I look?

Are you using Firefox? If so, it should look like this:

The "Save" button is the grey button in the top-left corner.

You can also get to the "Manage Styles" window really quickly by typing "about:addons" into the Firefox address bar and then clicking on "Userstyles" in the menu to the left.

How do I get to the page where you are?
Nevermind, I figured it all out! :twilightblush:

Does changing the banners work permanently now?

This is really awesome, thanks for this. I missed the old banners.

You're welcome! Some users here have to fix the things knighty causes the site and his mad policy of coding it into a generic and ugly mess.
I have also managed to bring back the logo too:
