I'm planning to overhaul my site, and as part of that, I'll be taking my existing style/theme and making likely thousands of adjustments to the code (both xf & css edits).
What's the best practice when doing this? I've already done this once now when I released the latest update to my site, which resulted in 4,000+ lines of code in extra.css plus hundreds+ of edits elsewhere throughout the templates. It got to the point where even loading extra.css was a terrible experience and I had significant delay in making edits to that template...
Is it still recommended (required??) to make all css edits in extra.css? What are the implications to not doing so and to making them throughout the other templates? Same goes for non-css edits. And will there be any significant future implications to not making all edits in extra.css when the next major XF version is released? And/or if my base theme isn't kept up to date by the original author?
Cheers.
