[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

The the line delineating signatures is appearing as a fine dotted line. Can that be avoided? :-/
I have to say it’s bothering my eyes, by a surprising amount. :-(( I keep unintentionally trying to focus it clearer but the dots are really just too small to be clear on my screen.

BTW, the “!important” keywords in the CSS I posted are probably not needed if the CSS comes directly from BLF. It’s often needed in external theme overrides, but not usually in the original CSS.

The part about removing the “—” div is probably not needed either, if you can make the site simply not send that part to begin with. I don’t know how hard it is to change the html output though. IIRC BLF used to use a <div class=“signature”>, but now it uses <div class=“clear”><div>—</div> at the beginning of the signature. It’s harder to match without potential side effects.

However, the new version of BLF seems to have better markup for a variety of other things. It used to be that half the divs were called “block” of some sort. So I had to use totally opaque matching rules like “div#block-block-1.block.block-block”.

Actually I was meaning to ask you what the !important does, I’ve never seen that before.

It’s definitely easier to hide it. :slight_smile: That div seems to come from a different module, and I prefer to make all the changes in one spot wherever possible.

How’s it look now?

:beer: :beer:

Better. Thank you Sb!

Is there plans to bring back the mouseover ability?

Yep, it’s the last (and next) item on the todo list.

cool, i should have checked that before asking :blush:

Edit: We need a new smiley, is there a homer simpson d’oh smiley available?

Greetings & Salutations SB,

In BLF's previous incarnation, we could select in Settings whether we wanted to use the Advanced Post Editor or the Simple Post Editor by default when posting.

Any chance of bringing this setting back? As right now there is no choice, & the default is the Simple Post Editor.

Thank you Very Much for all you are doing for us. GREATLY Appreciated.

Best Regards,

George

I feel bad adding to SBs workload but links are not posting properly like they used to with the new software :frowning:

an example

Ok, a made a little change. It seems to fix the links, but I’m not sure if there will be other side effects.

Pretty picture:

Common boilerplate side effects from treatments include nausea, dry mouth, headache, dizziness. :GRADE:

:wink:

Nope, sorry. If I fix links with dashes in them I end up breaking other more important functions like posting images.

Simple URLs usually work still: New Arrivals for - The Greatest Discount on Top Quality Products at Banggood

The best way to post those long ugly URLs is by using link text like this.

why did it work before but not now?

It’s never worked correctly since the upgrade. I tried a way to fix the links, but it broke posting images.

In what way did the fix break images? It seems like automatically picking out images should be easy since the string starts with a “!” symbol.
