Thanks for the report. I’m 99% sure it’s a Google issue, we’ll see if it resolves itself soon.

EDIT: Yes, it’s a Google issue:

Any chance of getting mouseovers with Simple or Advanced Post Editor any time soon?

I’ve been wondering about mouseovers, I thought I read it was working again. Yet I’ve noticed your sig lacks it’s previous mouseover.

Yeah, I've been without a mouseover for 54 days, not that I'm counting.

Yea, raccoons are nice and all but I do miss the gun toting Alice.

Sorry I haven’t had time to add the mouseover function. Until I do, it can be manually achieved with the following code:

<a href="#" ><img src=" URL_IMG-1 "></a>

OK, it was a Google issue that magically fixed itself. Working now.

I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but I have mouseover power again!

That’s what I remembered! Thanks sb.

Is there a way to make the video youtube player button be blank (i keep having to delete the default text after pasting the youtube link) and be able to start at a specific time, i wanted this vid to start at 14 secs but it starts from the beginning (so i posted it as a link which works but is not ideal)

I’m not sure I understand this part?

The specific time link does appear to be an issue. I’m not sure if there’s a fix for that.

when i click on the video button its already mostly filled in, i would prefer it blank since i just copy and paste the full address

Lots of solid wood furniture spam lately, it seems like they have set up a bot to regularly register, change the signature and make a new thread automatically.

Maybe changing the questions in the registration page could help?

Uncluttering help?

I try to do my duty to the site by allowing the ads every now and then and clicking everything, but ordinarily I try — with everything I read online — to clean up pages to remove distractions and repetitive material and focus on what’s new and interesting.

(This is why I block ads — so I CAN willingly buy things that I want, because if something has been pushed in my face repeatedly, on principle, I won’t buy it).

This is just me. No offense or criticism to those who like to have a lot of familiar decoration or restatement of principle, etc., on everything they post.

I can block repeating pictures with UBlock Element successfully.
I can block an entire picture hosting site if it’s used for a large number of images that repeat, whether in signatures or in repeated requoting
I can unblock a unique picture in a response that I want to see.

But, I haven’t figured out a way to choose to block large volume signature lines that repeat every time.
I thought UBlock would do that but haven’t gotten it to work.

No offense, mind you. I know those big proclamations are the kind of thing liked by people who like that kind of thing and like others to see them often.

But for me it’s like advertising. If it’s being pushed in my face I avoid it.

Your mileage will undoubtedly vary, because human beings are wonderfully diverse.

But “you can’t have everything, where would you put it?” is not a limit online, unless you set your own limits.

I haven’t figured out a way to do that. Any help welcome.

P.S. — if anyone wants everyone to have access to a big block of material in a signature, without having it appear full text with every comment you make, there is a way.

Notice mine? I found that cute phrase in someone’s very technical query here long ago.
So I attached the URL link to the comment behind the words, so the signature is one clickable line of text there.
If anyone wants to know more about that signature line, clicking it takes them to the source. You can link whatever volume of text you want that way.
Hypertext — it’s a good idea.

Huh. Hoist on my own petard yet again. Where did that thread go, that I pointed to? It was

Oh, well, so it goes. Bit rot …

Slight problem, your link does not work :wink:

I think i marked it as spam :stuck_out_tongue:
