Code push happening shortly!

[mark]

Hi all,

We're doing a code push as mentioned here.

As usual, a code push includes some visual changes (continuing our efforts to modernize common workflows) and also includes some conversions of old pages to be generated in a different way with different markup. As always, we've tested the changes in most of the major browsers and use cases, but some things may break when they meet real-world usage and different technical setups. If we broke it, we'll fix it as soon as we can.

We will be watching this post for comments, so please let us know if you see anything that needs to be addressed and we'll take a look!

Known Issues

• The spellchecker continues to go walkabout. This is intentional, we are deprecating it and removing it. Modern browsers have spellcheck that works in multiple languages and has actually been updated since 1995, so there's no reason for Dreamwidth to continue to try to maintain one.

Fixed Issues

• FAQs had gone missing. Well, the answers. They're back now.
• Replying to comments was incorrectly routing you back to the top level view, rather than the view of the thread you were on. This is fixed.

As always, please do keep an eye on our Twitter account dreamwidth.

Not so much an issue as a general question, but do you (or anyone else, I'm happy to poll the crowd) know if there is a a way to stop photos from doing the click-to-fuil-size thing? (It's a cool feature, but it would be nice if there was a way to stop it when coding a post where it's unnecessary).

AND ANOTHER THING:

Thank you for fixing the photo resize stuff in general, my in-post codes no longer break ;;;;;

I know that was a really complicated issue the way I brought it up, but it's nice to not need to go back in and tweak it all manually!

Just for my curiosity, do you mean that you want something to add into an image tag to ensure that it always displays at full size? Or something else?

[mycenae]

No, more that I want to prevent it from clicking into another size if I manually resize it within a style or img code.

[roadrunnertwice]

Heya! YES THERE IS. Here is the rule:

• Images that are inside either a table or a div with a style attribute (like <div style="width: 100%;">) are exempt from The Squish.

So if you're building some kind of complex decorative markup code, you get that for free (and are expected to properly take care of image sizes for your readers). If you just need a standalone image without zoom for some reason, you can wrap it in a div with a "do-nothing" style, like display: block; (or display inline if it's supposed to be inside a paragraph instead of standing alone).

We'll try and get this in the faq eventually, but it's still kinda new.

[mycenae]

Perfect, that helps a bunch, thank you!

[roadrunnertwice]

(Technically there's also a class you can add directly to the image, which you'll probably find on your own if you go looking for it. But you should consider that an implementation detail that might change at some point -- it's more reliable to just make the image look like the type of image we're deliberately trying to not squish.)

[delosharriman]

Now, that's the kind of solution I would prefer, although it's not hugely relevant to me.

Thank you!
