stet/keith question or whoever is in charge of code these days

I joke, but I couldn't edit a css template to save my life. Really, hold a gun to my head and try me!

caek.css is great if you like reading incredibly hard to read long lines of text. maybe it's less of an issue now no one writes posts longer than 20 works.

*words

p.sure "great if you like reading incredibly hard to read long lines of text" is the official ilx slogan

i must admit i still like caek.css because it presents an oddly impenetrable screen at work. people’s eyes just sort of glaze away from it.

i honestly get antsy looking at any other stylesheet now. i guess this mainly applies to viewing on a PC monitor tho

Is there any difference between caek.css and the old.css style, apart from the font? Doesn't look like it on a quick diff -- what was the point, caek?

At the risk of a cuff around the ear, is there any chance of getting capitals back on Bookmark / Flag / Link?

I like it lower-case. It goes better with the lower-case datestamp. Low profile, like

I’m using kenan dark and it’s still one word of bookmarkflaglink but I don’t mind it

the world is everything that is lower case

the worst case

the world is everything that is lower case

A proposition is a picture of a FAP.

They're the only lower case links on the page, I think - at least change all the rest of the links to lower case, so I can finally quit this site.

At the risk of a cuff around the ear, is there any chance of getting capitals back on Bookmark / Flag / Link?

i am even getting complaints about this in my own home but i still say no, never, forwards not backwards! i might even write a style rule to downcase everything everywhere

xp yes I have the Remove Bookmark from this Thread capitals in my sights.

this is still looking weird on swiss.css on a mac

never not lower case

cad can you try opening this link and do a cmd-F for ".bookmark "? It should look like this:

yup, i see it.

.bookmark {
margin-bottom: 0.2em;
margin-right: 0.5em;
}

but bookmarkflaglink is still squished together with no spaces

Well that’s weird. Is it like that on all the Swiss variants?

Stet: not at computer so can’t diff right now but iirc old.css constrained images to a relatively small width. Caek.css let them be full size. Good for threads like wall o gina, etc.

destroyer just do a "super reload" using cmd-opt-R, it will get a fresh css copy

cmd-shift-r but that did the trick. thanking u.

compared to caek.css, old.css has this for images (bad and vulgar)

max-width:85%;
max-height:800px;

and this for font (caek.css uses browser default, usually TNR):

body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;
}

Ahh gotcha I think I remember now thanks

still not fixed :(

I've made a change which should force it to update for you now

sorry to report... :/

tried it in chrome + safari both

Can you just check it's not happening on all stylesheets -- does old.css work, for instance?

not a problem in old.css

Hey y'all, I'm noticing a thing lately where if a url is posted with a closed parenthesis at the end, that closed parenthesis shows up in the post as plain text rather than as part of the url, which leads to an error when you click the (now incorrect) link. Like so:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Downey_(comedian)

NBD, just thought you should know.

That has been happening since forever.

Which, as anyone familiar with my observational skills can tell you, in no way contradicts my having just now noticed it.

if you feel fancy you can replace the ) at the end with %29 when you post a link

ty, I will employ that when fanciness next overtakes me.

I agree - or not, since you said it was NBD - it is mildly bothersome, btw, but I don't know how often it happens the other way round, i.e. someone actually posts a parenthesis-less link inside parentheses and doesn't leave a space

theoretically the link finder could check whether the opening bracket is after the http or before but if we try to make it aware of all possibilities we'll bring SkyNet online before we know it

(I may try this line next time my boss asks for something I don't want to do)

ever since twitter changed their site, links through to twitter posts on desktop - i.e. when images are off and you want to click through to see the tweet - usually result in a 'something went wrong' page on twitter, which stays that way even if you hack the referrer string off the URL! copying and pasting the tweet URL without the referrer string into a new browser window works. odd. i'm on Opera on a Mac.

This is definitely Twitter. I think they’re trying to do something smart and failing

I assumed they are just mad that i'm not on twitter.

(Sufjan Grafton and (Old Lunch making great points.

)) Jesus, you animal.

The parentheses bug is a more general message board code issue, I think? Or at least I've seen it happen on other boards too that use BBCode.

Ffm, I think you meant (((Jesus

I will quit my job (programming, where we respect parenthesis symmetry) for this cause. )))

Getting a 'poxy fule' error when I try to create a new poll, y'all.

mods, please keep this new feature, thnx

by feature are you referring to the disabling of polls or regular reminders that I am a poxy fule
