Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone make an easy to customize app for creating character sheets for new systems? The best I found only works on windows, and is very limited on spacing from huge gaps to to tightly crowded, with no in-between options. I do not remember the name of that program at this time I can look in the morning and update then.

Google Sheets works well enough if you need to share online. Otherwise, I've had success using LibreOffice Impress to create fillable PDF sheets. Both are free.
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brains come tumbling down your snout
Be merry my friends
Be merry

I will have too look into how to create boxes for a character photo and such in Google docs. I really would love to learn how to make fillable forms that automatically adjust the different items based on the appropriate formulas so players can automatically adjust everything as they make improvements, new skills boosted attributes, etc... Thank you very much.

Google Sheets (spreadsheet app) might be the easiest Google tool in which to create fillable boxes. This is the one I've used for electronic character sheets used for an online game.

Google Drawing is the easiest with which to create variously shaped boxes, lines, etc. This is the one I've used for printable character sheets designed for use at the table.

Thank you I am looking at that now, trying to figure it out.
