No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The answer to your question is what you thought it was - CSS - someone may have pre-written the CSS for your specific use case but CSS really isn't that scary and is pretty easy to bullshit your way through. The easiest way to play around with it is to right click the page element you're interested in and click
Inspect
you should the be able to manually increase the width (though you may have to try fiddling with the parent element or its parent etc...). The site will reflect your changes in live time and persist as long as the tab is open - the custom CSS extension is useful since it would allow you to persist those changes if you reload the page or open a new tab.so, do I just go to the page, extend the box, then copy and paste it all into Stylish? Thats all it takes?
Not quite, once you have adjusted it to your liking you'll want to copy the changes you made but you'll also need to somehow identify how to find the tag to apply them to. It'll usually be a class or Id reference that you should be able to view in the right panel while inspecting that element. Figuring out how to target then proper element is likely going to be the most difficult part of this task, unfortunately, and it's entirely dependent on how that specific site was built.

If you've gotten the box bigger you may want to try passing a larger number in like
font-size: 16
and keep upping that until you're happy.OMG OMG DEADASS- I THINK I DID IT. IM SO SMART HEHEHE. The text in the box is a placeholder... Now I got that little code block it gave me saved on a notepad somewhere... Cus that was wayy too much damn work just to reload the page and have it all vanish... Would tamper monkey be a good place to dump it?? its just one little code block that goes to that text box, thats the only real change I made, but I want it to be there consistantly

You could absolutely just stash it in tamper monkey or another script helper.
I'm glad it worked!
Awesome! I'm glad you got it to work (sorry I dropped off the earth--i forgot I have a commute)
