Thanks, @hunzaboy !

Those are some nice clean designs. Still waiting for email development to become modern so that the usage of tables is reserved for actual tables and not the design 😂

For what are there so many :root ... { display: none !important; } items in head? I have never seen someting like that?

Aslam Shah • Sep 17 '20

Hey Nikola, what template are you refering to? I can give you better explanation based on the template. 😊

Every one I have open, e.q. Welcome Email

<style type="text/css">:root topadblock, :root script[src^="http://free-shoutbox.net/app/webroot/shoutbox/sb.php?shoutbox="] + #freeshoutbox_content, :root input[onclick^="window.open('http://www.FriendlyDuck.com/"], :root img[alt^="Fuckbook"], :root iframe[src^="http://static.mozo.com.au/strips/"],
 :root iframe[id^="google_ads_iframe"], :root div[jscontroller="U835zd"] + c-wiz[jsrenderer="YnuqN"], :root div[id^="zergnet-widget"], :root div[id^="traffective-ad-"], :root div[id^="sticky_ad_"], :root div[id^="q1-adset-"], :root div[id^="proadszone-"], :root div[id^="mainads"], :root

Ahh, it's something added by an extension you are using. 😊 You can check the github repo for the actual html versions.

FYI: I don't have any ad in the website so I am not sure why it is even added there.
