I wouldn't mind a chatbox expand/collapse option.

I would likely leave it open most of the time even if no one currently uses it and it's a waste of space, just in case someone actually says something and in case I actually see it in any timely fashion.

The flair editing form is terrible, assuming I'm even doing it correctly (I can't even get a font, background, border change, much less add an image). Is there a way to edit it like the CSS stylesheet?

The dozens of Reddit CSS help pages are shit. It's a wonder it's so popular. Ironically Quora had the best help page but it only explained what flair was, not how to change the things, and Quora fully banned me so I can't login with Google as REQUIRED to see other Quora pages which might actually help. FUCK QUORA, BRUTALLY!!! and their "moderators" and their lack of clear policies, rules, guides, instructions, or even specific explanations or recourse for banning me and stealing my work. Getting banned was not the first time I had problems there that were never ever explained, though through persistence I did discover some things how it worked and is rigged. If I recall correctly I was on Quora hard before I delved hard into Wikipedia.

It would be infinitely easier if it showed an example to copy, either displayed by default or by requests (ie. click on "help" or a "?") Multiple examples would be ideal featuring text options and image options.

I think I finally found an example that makes sense in this image: https://i.imgur.com/zk1do.png

I was trying to add the stylesheet code on the right into the CSS class on the left of the image. If I understand it as it appears, I didn't realize that setting up the flair is one thing and the CSS is separate and not to be input in the flair set up. NO ONE explains this.

I really hope this works...

Finally got the fundamentals of it. Not easy or intuitive. Shit documentation. And I hate when CSS or HTML or whatever give you different results when you change the order and it should not matter.
