which browser, mark? and which style sheet? (as in the 'I Want to Change the Way The Site Looks...' option in preferences)
― koogs, Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:44 (five years ago) link
(they are called 'radio buttons' btw, because they work the way old radios worked - you can only have one button pressed at a time)
― koogs, Thursday, 8 November 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link
browser chrome, style sheet new.css
(i choose to call them BLOBS bcz i am a poet and plus the only radio i ever loved had KNOBS aka DIALS, which you turned)
(also the BLOBS on the style sheet prefs page are in fact currently visible)

I was watching an Imagine episode about David Hockney making a stained glass window for Westminster Abbey and he was talking about how we all see things differently and why we do. It made me think of Mark's blobs.
― brokenshire (jed_), Friday, 9 November 2018 22:50 (five years ago) link
erm bloblessness this is still an issue for me, which makes the search function unuseable :(
― mark s, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:08 (five years ago) link
i've realised that i can check how mine looks because don't have a working chrome login
you could try changing the stylesheet from new.css to something else, see if that helps (because it sounds like a css problem and that'll change the css).
― koogs, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:13 (five years ago) link
i keep forgetting that style sheets exist
the idea that there are people out there viewing my handcrafted artisanal shitposts on anything other than new.css is... upsetting
― I hope your face & dick gets ripped off by chimapzai (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 12 November 2018 16:17 (five years ago) link
It's not a CSS issue, I don't think. They're not showing correctly across all style sheets. I'll take a look.
― stet, Monday, 12 November 2018 16:18 (five years ago) link
it's ok BG everyone skips them
― mark s, Monday, 12 November 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
the idea that people read ILX on anything other than old.css is so profoundly unsettling that i literally can't dwell on it for longer than a few moments because otherwise i'd have to come to terms with the fact that people whose posts i know and cherish are actually living - indeed, have been living this whole time - in an uncouth sans-serif shadow dimension

Yeah, that's what Tracer is saying.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 12 November 2018 19:21 (five years ago) link
yes but what he is also saying is that ilx-as-was was a serif font -- and i once knew this and had entirely forgotten and it's like redpill me now baby i want to see the matrix-vat i'm wallowing in for one brief terrible moment before the horrow overwhelms me

The radio buttons work in Chrome for me, if this helps?

dark.css seems to make clicked links black-on-black, at least on Firefox.

what are these... blobs? screenshots anyone?
― niels, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:23 (five years ago) link
sadly no screenshot is possible as they have gone invisible hence the discussion
they render polls impossible (but this is good not bad) and also the search function, since you can't choose posts instead of threads to look through
― mark s, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:30 (five years ago) link
aha, interesting...
― niels, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:39 (five years ago) link
I think there are two different blobs being discussed:- radio buttons that you use to make choices in polls and searches- little circles at the start of thread titles on "new answers" pages that are either filled or not depending on if they contain unread messages based on your viewing history
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:58 (five years ago) link
the first of these are the BLOBS, the second just some old circles of no consequence to me whatever

Assuming we are alll talking about the same things the blogs are the bullets next to the thread. They go hollow when a thread you have read before has new answer.
They are working for me.

everyone is using "blobs" to mean those, except for the person who started using the word blobs
