But suspect it's related to deleted entries only, so localized problem. I think (probably) the problem was that the xpost worker wasn't executable; once I fixed that I started receiving reports from people that xposts were working for them.
Definitely need to fix the deletion issue though! It's kinda messy.
Was the shrinkage of some of the text on the profile page intentional? The text just to the right of my icon (everything from "Free Account" to "View Extended Profile", plus "Edit" below my icon) is in teeny weeny eyestrain-o-vision on Firefox and IE for me.
Not a huge deal for me--I can read it--but it's certainly difficult for me to read.
Same happened to my profile page. And I will tell you what sitescheme I'm using the moment I know what a sitescheme is. :) If it has to do with lay-outs, mine is custom made, CSS.
It's the same size as the rest of the text now for me in both Safari and FF on the Mac :(
I think this might be the problem with Mac vs PC interpretations of CSS again? I can't remember how to fix it though.
...Actually, no, it's just the same in FF. In Safari it's the right size, but I couldn't quite tell because shouldn't it be italic too? Or am I imagining things?
Right after the update it was grab-a-magnifying-glass tiny for me too, but now it appears to have been fixed. It's currently slightly smaller than it used to be, but just by a smidge. Nothing other than the size has changed.
(I'm using Tropospherical Red in Firefox 3.6.10 on Windows XP, for what it's worth.)
Unfortunately, I don't use Gradation Vertical much, so I'm not exactly sure what looks off. A quick check looks to me like everything is in place, but I'm probably just missing what is obvious to me.
Which bits specifically look off, btw? Can you link me to an example / describe the specific bits?
I'm probably going to explain this all wrong, but looking at it now, I'm wondering if the whole site entry page is shifted to the right? There's definitely more space between the top of the comment threads and the sidebar, and the text of the comments isn't aligned with the info bar. I couldn't really link you to an example because all the pages I've checked have had the problem.
I'm assuming since you were talking about it earlier that some of the code for the site schemes was changed/consolidated? I only ask because I'm experiencing some issues now with a custom-made skin I cobbled together from various css overrides using stylish and greasemonkey to change the the colours of the Tropo site scheme, which was working fine before the code push ._.a;;. I'm not really very crash hot at css to begin with so I wouldn't know where to even begin guessing at where/how to fix what got borked. I know it's not technically within DWidth's realm to field questions about this sort of thing because it's not really part of the site, but I figured I'd ask anyway. ._.b
And oh gosh, I am exceedingly not a code-monkey-- if it's not too much trouble, I'd love it if you could please dig up what you think are the most likely suspects to have caused the CSS to stop working so I might have some idea where to start tinkering, that'd be amazing ._.a;;. Everything I have in the main body (background colour, text and link colours, etc) is fine, as well as the header/footer/nav-bar, but the coloured comment blocks have shifted back to their Tropo grey-with-colored-underline for me and the code for the standout box at the top of each entry with the +mem/edit/track buttons has also ceased reverted.
Is it just color changing that you're doing? If so, the easiest thing to do is probably to go through tropo-comoon.look and tropo-red.look to find the refactored references. (AKA: just look for colors, then use the CSS descriptor that's using.)
If it's more than just colors, I'm afraid I'm not the person to be helping you, but someone else probably will :)
And oh my god I was looking all over for the original Tropo css file when I was writing the skin originally, nearly tearing my hair out trying to guess at what was what because I had no frame of reference and going off of LJ code instead. I think I love you ;3;. This will make things SO much easier, thank you!!
Is it intentional that posts now look different in light format? There used to be a line between the bunch of buttons (previous entry, add to memories, etc) and the post but that's gone now. Also, I don't think the buttons were centered before. Is that intentional?
That happened deliberately, yes, as part of our project to unify the CSS being used to produce the various styles and make it look as similar as possible in all layouts.
Browser / operating system please? (They don't do that for me in any of my browsers, and nobody mentioned it in testing, so we'll need to know what you're looking at it in to test.)
*shakes fist* damn you, IE! It shouldn't oughta be doing that, and we're probably going to have to do some trial and error to see if we can fix it.
Also, I know that this is Not The Answer You Want To Hear, but we actually might not be able to fix it, because IE7 is really awful at respecting standards, and we honestly can't spend a lot of time devoted to it -- IE users only account for 12% of our traffic and IE7 users only account for 19% of that 12%. Our stated policy is that we design for and test with the most recent version of every supported browser, and we try to cover the previous version of each supported browser but if we can't get it 100% looking like it should after a reasonable amount of effort, we aren't going to sweat it. We might have to do that here, because width of elements like this is a known problem with IE7, and unless we want to undo the improvements we did to the underlying CSS, we might not be able to get it fixed. (I just don't want you expecting it's going to be an immediate fix!)
(Dude, no worries. I only use IE7 at work and only because we can't run anything else; at home I'm all Chromed and Firefox-ed out. It's just that I didn't know if the pink/red strip was a new feature or not when I opened DW this morning, and I couldn't check via my other browsers while at work.)
On a more positive note, I see that selected inbox messages are now indicated with a pinkish background in IE7/here at my work computer. Thanks for that!
(Waaaay back when I worked in a locked-down environment, I used to bring FF on a flash drive. *G* They were stupid enough to not block running of programs on a drive, mostly because it was so uncommon...)
Text enclosed in <q> tags no longer has quote marks at the beginning and end on site-schemed pages in Celerity. Was this intentional? (i.e. do I need to stop using them for quotes from an article?)
This is regarding the collapsible sections on the profile page. I recall that my preferences for which section(s) to collapse/hide and which section(s) to expand/show used to be saved.
But recently all of my sections remain expanded everytime I go to my profile page or someone else's.
I'd like someone to verify if this is how collapsible sections are supposed to work or not. I use Celerity and IE8.
Pop-up windows like the preview window should work if JS is enabled, correct? In that case, JS is enabled. Also, I already opened a support request but I was told that collapsed sections don't remain collapsed. :)
Oh, huh. I thought they were supposed to stay collapsed! Guess that tells me what I know.
(And no, for the record, new windows aren't JS -- if you can click to reply to a comment and it opens up a comment window right there without reloading the page, then JS is enabled. If it loads a whole separate page, JS is disabled.)

Is the code for collapsible sections the same that LJ uses? Because on LJ, they stay collapsed; I checked. So they should stay collapsed on DW too, right?
I tried to reproduce your problem and failed. The collapsible sections are saved between page loads on every browser I tried. (Full disclosure: I don't have IE8, but I did try IE7 and it worked fine there.)
The collapsible sections are saved between page loads on every browser I tried. I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant by this sentence. Are you saying that you collapsed the sections and they remain collapsed on other browsers including IE7? Or do you mean something else?
This is just a note: I have a LJ account too and the collapsible sections on the profile page are working as they should. Same browser (IE8), same computer.
Are you saying that you collapsed the sections and they remain collapsed on other browsers including IE7? Yes, that is what I meant. So I guess the next step would be to find someone else with IE8, and see if it works there. Good luck!
There's already a request open and I commented on it but, for the record, profile sections stopped staying collapsed for me either quite a while ago, except a few which always stay collapsed and I use Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows 7. I wonder why it works for you and not for me.
