Playing with CSS...

[Alex]

Ok, are we back?
Time to tweak some stuffs a little then.

I made a couple modifications to the Forum's CSS, becasue - at least for me - it was terribly hard to read.
Actually, I made only 2, but I think they will be effective:

1st, reduced the size of the textarea on bottom for quick replies. It was causing horizontal scrollbars, now no more
2nd, I've added a think blue line between posts. For me it was just so hard to understand where a signature ended and where the next reply started! So I simply did it.

Just FYI

Is it supposed to have taken effect already? Because nothing has changed on my end.

I was wondering the same thing for a moment. The new CSS is up, but you'll have to clear your cache in order to see the changes.

[Archem]

I see. Much better.

[Prpl_Mage]

Great!

I suppose it's harder to go back to the old days when posts alternated between two different backgrounds. And I believe that we fixed the quick reply box once, but it got kinda reseted when we updated something.

[Apex]

Oh lord, that's much better! Thanks Alex.

[Alex]

@Prpl
Could be. Wen we started the issue with GoDaddy, Osmose updated SMF too. Perhaps it broke something.

Will see if there will be any way to have the alternate backgrounds but yeah, in the meanwhile I can finally read clearly the replies

[Prpl_Mage]

Yeah it really helps.
Would it be possible to draw another line between posts and poster?


edit: Found this

Aw dude we've needed those forever. 10/10.

Interesting bug(?). I had to sign back in to reply, and after I signed in it took me to the "About Complete Resources page problems" thread instead of this thread. That thread was not in this tab's history.

[Alex]

@Prpl: another line between posts and poster? you mean a vertical line?

@Razor: dunno about that bug. I know Osmose updated the forums, and what you're describing seems related to the forum coding.
Unless I can replicate there's not much I can do... however it doesn't seem anything major.

@TheWholeWorld:
I was able to have alternate colors working again, so I removed the separation line. Looks fine from here, if not on your browser please share a sshot.
ALSO.... this makes the internal anchors to specific posts working again!

[DragonBlaze]

Looking sweet!

[Cerebus]

Sweet. It's like old Charas is slowly coming back.

And I'd agree with Prpl_Mage about the line between post and poster, which would indeed be a vertical line.
Maybe post outlines in the near future? Assuming I got the right term. Like in Prpl_Mage's screenshot.

[Archem]

Oh God, it's like I've stepped into a time machine and returned to a simpler time where everything was right in the world.

Alex, you truly are the Master. Though it makes me wonder why we couldn't have had this change implemented sooner, given that you've shown it's doable in a brief time frame. I suppose there's something more to it than I know, given that I know nothing about programming.

[Razor]

Oh man, this is glorious now. Alternating colours is the best.

[Grandy]

It's just like when I was in high school and depressed!
