Code push done! Let us know if you run into any problems.

And if you're doing beta-testing / dw_beta, take note that we've added thread expand/collapse and cuttag expansion.

Icons are now overlapping the subject lines of everyone's posts, from my subjective. *pokes style thingy* This is in Transmogrified. I don't think I ever did anything screwy with the icons and the subject lines in CSS myself, but I certainly might have, once upon a time.

[fu]

Hmm, one sec!

ETA:

Got it!

change this in your custom CSS:

.has-userpic .header

to:

.has-userpic .entry .header, .has-userpic .comment .header


Though -- we've added a couple things lately to Transmogrified, including the ability to toggle left/right icons with one click, so it might be easier to just remove that CSS, go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options, and change "Place icons on left or right of entry " to left.

[sara]

Thanks. I have now killed the custom CSS and gone with the left-or-right thing.

[meri_oddities]

CSS fixed. Thanks so much.

[waldo]

I have the same problem and I wouldn't know a custom CSS if it came up and shook my hand.

[fu]

Hmm, looks like you got some overrides at some point.

Go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=customcss and remove all the CSS in the textarea there.

Then go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options and change "Place icons on left or right of entry " to left, and that should do the trick!

My feeds are repeating and some feeds are unavailable on my reading page.

[denise]

Can you give us an example of a feed that's having the problems?

[isleodreams]

These are my feeds. apod_feed, calvinandhobbes_feed, dictionary_wotd_feed, mqotd_feed, oxforddnb_feed, snopesfeed_feed

Some of posted normal today. Yesterday the calvin and hobbes feed repeated over and over. I had to go back 100 entries before the chain was broken and then it starts again. There is definitely something wrong with the calvin and hobbes feed.

[denise]

Hm. That feed is certainly repeating, but I can't figure out why -- maybe an error in the feed's source, since I don't see it happening from others. If it happens again, can you open a support request for it so someone more familiar with RSS can try taking a look at it?

Beta flag set, Opera 11.10 on Linux, and: cut tag expansion works, but thread expand doesn't; instead it takes me to a new page with just the thread (and the original post), like the “Link” link on the same comment would. I can reproduce the problem with Firefox 3.5.18, and with a default-configured Opera.

Edit: …actually, I wonder if this is my style. I had to copy and modify some of the S2 from Tabula Rasa. I should check on that.

Further Edit: No; also shows up with with style=site, style=light, and style=original (on a scans_daily post, because that's where I know I can find long comment threads).

Yet Further Edit: It's been figured out.

[fu]

And thank you for your report and troubleshooting *grin*

Icons on my layout all suddenly became smaller without any code changes on my own part. I normally don't physically set them at 100 x 100 pixels due to people with odd shaped icons, but I can go stick that code in if necessary.

Noticed it was due to an icon size change on http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=presentation that was defaulted to small instead of full. Definitely don't recommend this behavior to automatically change all layouts. That's popping people's 100px default icons down to 75px without them changing it for themselves.

[denise]

Hm. It should default to 'full', but it's exposing a property that was there for a while but not actually visible; is it possible some code you might've pasted in for a layout, etc, could've changed the setting in the past?

(Also, what layout are you using?)

[stormy]

I just went in when I discovered the setting and changed it to full. Prior to that it was definitely defaulted at 'small' and changing all my icons to 75 pixels, and not by any CSS - definitely by hard coding from the layout itself using the customization page. I'm using a highly modified version of Brittle, but I don't code in information for the sizing down of icons.

edit; I pretty much never visit the poor http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options page except to jet to the CSS box. :3

I gave dusty the same general layout code - and hers is unchanged. http://dusty.dreamwidth.org/

[denise]

Aha; fu has schooled me!

Brittle and Bases both had CSS to resize icons down to 80px maximum as part of their design. When we put in the option to resize userpics (both so people using Brittle/Bases could size userpics up, and people not using Brittle/Bases could size them down) we defaulted those two layouts to 'small' (75x75px) instead of full size, since the display was already roughly there already and we wanted to make the least disruptive change possible. (If you'd modified your layout's CSS heavily, it's likely you had something in there to override the icon sizing, which is why you in particular noticed.)

All the other layouts default to full.

[stormy]

Aha! Then for those users it'll probably look the same as before, gotcha. Good to note for those who have changed their CSS then, and will need to go change the option! Thanks!

I seem to be unable to prepare a pork roast that isn't dry and chewy. Even when I slow cook it for eight hours or more, once it has been off the heat for a few minutes, it gets dry. I'd love to be able to produce a roast that is buttery soft and melts lovingly in my mouth with a forkful of homemade sauerkraut.

[denise]

Hm. Perhaps boilingwater or omnomnom might be able to assist you further *g*

[ursamajor]

I suggest maybe boilingwater? :) (Though I'm curious what other cooking comms DW has.)

[jumpuphigh]

I imagine that crock_o_dial might also be a good option.

The new beta cut tag expander and the new cut tag controls don't play nicely together.

Also, the jquery cut tag expander behaves a little differently; this css

.cuttag-open {
border: 1px dashed black;
margin: 0.5em;
padding: 0.5em;
background: #ccc;
}

affects the background of the cut text with the non-jquery expander, but with the new one the style is applied just to the expander image.

The beta comment expander doesn't handle multiply-nested expand calls properly. So if you expand a set of comments, but there are comments nested far enough down that there are still unexpanded comments under the original one, then after that the further nested comments can only be expanded one at a time.

(I'm mostly just talking to myself here, I think. :) )

[silverflight8]

I noticed the cut-tag expander and background image thing, yeah. It's a little square of colour :P

[exor674]

By "don't play nicely together" do you mean "Don't work at all?" -- I didn't get a chance to port those changes over, but wanted a preliminary out. And please comment with the CSS stuff on the bug ( http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3581 ) so I don't lose track of it. Thanks!

[fu]

Tossed it into the bug just to make sure everything is in one place -- thank you ♥

[fu]

Oops, make that tossed 1&2 in the cut expander bug; I keep mixing up the cut expander with the comment expander somehow so #3 still doesn't have a bug with it *g*

[baggyeyes]

Weird behavior - I can't access the Display portion of options. I just get dumped back in Presentations. Also, editing previously typed text in text box is a little wonky - I'm sent back to the end of my text, rather than where I want to edit. (I'm testing beta features.) Firefox 3.6.15, Mac 10.6.6.

[fu]

Oops, yes thanks for reporting! We'll fix that.

(If you really need to see the page, you can go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=display)

[kitters]

No problems yet. Yay! :D

[sarken]

My co-mod spotted and I've duplicated a problem with video embeds, Safari mobile, and the Tabula Rasa layout. Nothing is broken, per se, just kind of unpretty. Basically, video embeds get a huge black border, like so (that's from an iPhone 4, but the problem also shows up on a first gen iPad that, as far as I know, has the same browser.) I tried a default Tabula Rasa theme and two custom Tabula Rasa stylesheets; it appears the same on all of them.

[fu]

Hmmm, that is odd.

I see the same effect when I make a sample HTML page with the embed code I got from another YouTube video -- my guess is it has to do with whatever YouTube is doing to its iframes to resize it, not playing nicely with iOS devices.

cuttag expansion module

[shade90]

Hello, dreamwidth coders, is it possible to make the new cuttag expansion module optional, or to turn it into a footer, like the other modules? Barring that, is there some CSS code I could add to the custom CSS window to hide the module, as I won't be using it in the immediate future?

In any case, thank you for such a great blogging platform : )

Re: cuttag expansion module

[denise]

You want the "Cut Tag Controls" in the Modules section of the Customize Journal Style page. :) (You can set it to display or not display, and where it should display.)

Re: cuttag expansion module

[shade90]

Hi, Denise, I am not making this up, but I don't have a "Cut Tag Controls" option in the Modules section of the Customize Journal Style page. I was mortified when I read your reply because I had looked there first before posting. I had also looked at my stylesheet, and although any kind of coding is utterly Greek to me, I found neither hide nor hair of anything that might remotely have to do with cut tags. Tags, yes, cut tags, no.

So I followed the link you posted in your reply, and I swear, I got nothing. I have, under Header, Navigation. Under Sidebar I have Basic Journal Info, Calendar, Page Summary, Tags (limit display, type of tags - i.e. list, multilevel, cloud), Link List, Syndication, Time Loaded, Custom Text, Style Credit and Search. Then under Footer I have Powered By. That's it. I clicked 'expand all' just in case. And also cleared my cache.

So right now I'm going "Que?" like Manuel in Fawlty Towers. Dude, what am I doing wrong?

Dunno if it helps, but the layout is Transmogrified, it's a free account, and I'm using Safari 5.0.5 : )

Re: cuttag expansion module

[denise]

Yeah, it looks like there was an error with Transmogrified -- we'll get that fixed soon :)

Re: cuttag expansion module

[shade90]

Oh, that's all right, then. I'm much relieved. Thought I was being even more dense than usual.

Thank you again for Dreamwidth. I love the clean and intuitive interface : )

Re: cuttag expansion module

[fu]

Just wanted to let you know, we've fixed things. You should be able to see the option now!

Re: cuttag expansion module

[shade90]

You did! I do see it, and I've used it! \o/

Many thanks, fu : )

[schwertlilie]

Fairly minor as wonkiness goes, but on my journal entries, main page, & reading page, my icons aren't centered within their border-boxes - they're a few pixels to the right, even when I change the icon location from left of the entry to right of the entry, or back again. But, they're centered properly in the comments (example).

I'm using Stepping Stones with a custom colour theme, and my only custom CSS is "#title, #subtitle, #pagetitle { display: none; }"; removing it didn't change the icon locations. The misalignment shows in both Firefox (v3.6) and RealPlayer.

[fu]

Should be fixed now! (How's that?)

[schwertlilie]

Works for me! Thanks for the fix. :)

[zvi]

Not sure if this is an error in implementation or design: when transferring points I already own (i.e. using http://www.dreamwidth.org/shop/transferpoints not http://www.dreamwidth.org/shop/account?for=gift) I am not able to include a note of explanation.

[fu]

IIRC, that's in progress.

[nightdog_barks]

Is there something going on? Last night and this morning response time has slowed to a crawl, and pages either do not load or take multiple minutes to do so. This is also happening to someone else in my Circle.

[cesy]

Yes, it's explained in the latest post.

[ninetydegrees]

New styles are no longer featured? :/
