ashecodes's Bulletins
I've been dealing with multiple family crisis situations lately, including a recent death in the family, and I apologize for letting messages sit again. I won't have much time until next week to more meaningfully address code fixes. I've restored my premium so codes should be properly visible again. Currently working on fixes for Vanitas and some other codes.
Again, I'm sorry I haven't had much time to address things this past month or so.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I've had a surprising uptick in the number of people encountering issues when trying to combine my CSS with other people's (or even with my own CSS). This is not a good idea, and will result in things not working as intended. My CSS is only intended to be used stand alone, not in addition to anything else. I cannot account for the issues you will encounter, nor can I make individual fixes for everyone that tries to combine things.
If you know what you're doing, feel free to experiment, but if you try to combine things and it doesn't work the way you want, this doesn't mean my CSS is "broken" it means you are trying to use it outside of its intended purpose.
Discord Server? Looking for input!
Discord Server, y/n?
Curious if something like a Discord Server for updates, FAQ, questions, etc. would be of interest to people? On one hand, it feels a little excessive or arrogant to make a whole server just for my codes, but on the other, it may be a better forum for questions and assistance.
I'm on the fence with the idea, and to be clear, it would not be a replacement for communication and updates here on Toyhouse, but PMs can often be a bit difficult to discuss issues at times, and a Discord would provide a way to more easily share screenshots and other files, etc. I can also more easily access Discord on mobile for example.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Upcoming schedule for 2026! Most of what I had in my update post before still stands. I've shuffled some things around based on my previous progress.
I've had a lot going on IRL making time and energy very limited to work on all of the fixes and revamps I had promised a few months back. I know I left some people hanging saying certain things would be done soon, and then I poofed again on another unintended hiatus. I explained all this in a previous bulletin, etc. Moving forward I want to have an intended schedule published here so people can get an idea of what's in the pipeline next. I have not abandonned this account or my intended projects, things are just a bit slower again.
I am aware that things like sizing and margins have suddenly gone funny on some of my CSS, I'm not entirely sure what caused this, but I am working on resolving it and updating all the codes that went wonky.
I'm also in the process of updating all of my preview images that were previously hosted on Imgur -- I know there are a number of problems with the host and that Imgur is now blocked in the UK. I will try to get to all the codes ASAP, but it will take some time. If previews are broken for you in the meantime, I suggest using a VPN.
WINTER 2026
Winter will mostly be more revamps, along with one planned CSS and one planned HTML code that is partially developed.
.....World CSS with Top Navbar and Banner (Fantasy Themed)
.....Revamped Mythic CSS (Mostly some minor tweaks for better customization!)
.....Revamped Vanitas CSS (Mostly some minor tweaks for better customization!)

Spring will have some new HTML & CSS codes, along with more revamps of older HTML.

.....Dark Fantasy Themed CSS for Profiles & Worlds (Fantasy Themed)
.....Revamped Simple RPG Profile HTML
.....Revamped Tabbed Columns Code
Future Projects
Future projects are currently up in the air, but I am willing to take suggestions on priority. Again, I want to mostly focus on revamping older codes to function better on mobile, and fix my older CSS that's gone buggy. If you want to see something fixed, improved, or re-imagined, please leave a comment here and I'll see what I can do.
I may end up releasing more revamps or new codes than what is on the schedule, but it's entirely dependent on what my time looks like moving forward.
Quick little update to say the holiday season was busy and challenging for me again, but I'm trying to get back on track with my code schedule! Everything is a little bit behind, time has been at a premium and I recently switched over to a new PC set up so getting re-organized has been a little hectic, but I have the revamps in progress, and some new codes out soon that I've been working on since September.
As far as messages and DMs, I get a lot of those and I've been slowly working my way through -- if I don't get back to you after a couple of weeks, feel free to bug me again, because your message may have been buried or I might have thought I already responded (also sometimes messages go poof in the sending).

AUTUMN 2025
The next projects I'm working on have been promised for a long time, and ones I started before I got busy, so they're already pretty far along. I can't promise an exact date for when they'll be finished, but I'm aiming for by the end of the season, hopefully I'll be getting one out by mid October at the latest.

Imgur is now no longer available in the UK, and I was already having problems with them as a host. I'm looking for a better alternative, but I'm struggling to find the best solution. File Garden has been suggested a number of times, but I gather that is also blocked in a number of other countries. I'm at a loss to find something that won't run into issues like this. Toyhouse has too small of a file limit to reliably upload all of my image assets directly here.
I've been away awhile again due to unexpected IRL things (as usual). I currently don't have access to my PC so working on codes and answering messages is difficult on mobile. I do not know how to effectively answer questions or make fixes if I can't reliably look at things due to restrictions of mobile. Time has also been limited between illness in my family, and starting a new course that is taking precedence for me right now. Among a number of other things, like a new unexpected crisis each week. I'm barely holding it together if we're being entirely honest.
That said, I'm going to try and get things sorted out soon, and I apologize for the unintended absence again. I do intend to be back and help everyone who has messaged me as soon as I possibly can. Hope you can understand.
I have been regularly hosting my images for my codes on Imgur, but recently they have begun to do indiscriminate ban waves for (what I assume) is poor AI moderation wrongly flagging mundane images as explicit. My account has gotten multiple removals recently for perfectly SFW images (paintings of flowers, etc.) that were incorrectly flagged as "breaking ToS". It's highly likely my account will end up banned in the near future, as many others have been banned for no reason at all. Imgur has also reduced image upload quality, which is causing me issues as well.
I want to be up front about this issue -- I WILL be trying to find a new image host ASAP, and updating all of my preview images as quickly as I can. I know images are breaking, and I'm trying my best to keep up with it and fix this where I can. If you notice any broken preview images, don't hesitate to let me know! It's hard to keep an eye on everything at the same time.

There have also been some weird issues with codes suddenly not displaying things correctly anymore. I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'm doing my best to fix things as I notice them. This is part of what I wanted to fix and try to prevent with my code re-vamp project, but it's a very time consuming process, and I have to stop and make temporary fixes which pushes back the revamp process each time.
If anyone knows the root of this problem (things like dividers suddenly disappearing, the top bar on some of my CSS suddenly not displaying correctly, image positioning breaking, etc.), please let me know.

I have not abandoned TH or my codes! Some unexpected IRL stuff had me away for about 2 weeks, so I'm sorry I let messages sit unanswered for a bit. I think I've now responded to everyone who has messaged me during that short hiatus. I'm doing my best to get everything back in order. If you ARE having issues, please reach out, I do want to try and help resolve things where I can.
I spent some time updating the CSS on my account and there were some bugs I had to slowly fix, some stuff wasn't displaying correctly, and the mobile view was temporarily broken. Just wanted to give an update to say it's all fixed now and everything should be properly visible, with no more broken navigation and links. So if you tried to access anything in the past day and couldn't, it shouldn't be an issue anymore!
