    There's an option to do that for HTML pages on Advanced > Modules > HTML & JAVASCRIPT > HTML pages management, so I was wondering if there's something like that for CSS under the admin panel too, but I can't seem to find it, thought of asking just to confirm.

    Hi you can find your CSS stylesheet via ACP >> Display >> Pictures & Colors >> Colors & CSS

    Read more regarding the css:

    Not understanding what you mean by "use it as a reference."

    By reference I mean for use later not immediately applied, if you create a HTML page from there the page won't show everywhere you go, it's just a page you can redirect users to visit it like it is an 'external resource', plus ACP >> Display >> Pictures & Colors >> Colors & CSS has limit on size

    By these references for later time use, are they for the forum or html pages?

    But to answer your question, no there isn't a similar option for what you're describing. Either you use external CSS for the HTML pages by adding a link to it in the
    <head>
    section of each HTML page:

    Code:
    <head>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
    </head>

    The file must not contain any HTML code, and must be saved with a .css extension.

    Both, I'm not a HTML/CSS expert but if I used the HTML tool to create a HTML page and create a style with the <style> tag, can I import the style from that HTML page into somewhere else and reference sort of like this you did on head?
    Code:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

    No you can't do it that way. You would simply place the css as the internal style sheet.

    Sigh. I was hoping I could avoid to keep calling CSS from another websites and instead just save it locally on the forum, does Forumotion has a solution for uploading CSS files like it does with images (servimg)?

    Coucou @okamii

    you can instead just add this directly inside the
    Code:
    <head></head>
    section like this:
    Code:
    <style>
    //your CSS code
    </style>

    Otherwise no, you can't create a separate CSS dedicated page I am afraid :rose:
