Sweet trick on iPhone or iPad…
Setting the accessibility shortcut to invert colours gives the site an awesome black and orange look when you triple click the home button.
Try it!
BTW, if anyone wants to hide the posts entirely, it’s actually a lot simpler. Just remove some code until it looks like this:
/* Someone */
div.posted-by-54321 { display: none !important; }
It doesn’t need the second clause from earlier. This shorter one will remove the posts as if they weren’t even there. Quotes included by others are still visible though, and it’ll skip post numbers when something is hidden.
I just prefer to see that something was there, instead of making it entirely invisible.
(BTW, we don’t have 50,000+ users yet, but when that day comes and someone ends up with ID 54321, I apologize in advance)
I might have to enter with a new name and nab that 54321 user ID so I can talk all I want and no one will even know. 
hahahahahahahahaha
Thank you, ToyKeeper!
I did as you instructed. The new .css is amazing. It grows on a person, much like warts or cancer, but with much more pleasing results! 
Seriously, though (what, me?), it’s amazing how much better it looks and feels as time goes by! I really do love it!
(and the drop-down-list button by the ‘Text format’ selector below this box is still “old”. Plus pulling down the list looks strange. No way would I ask you to work your magic on the buttons above this box. Just sayin’…)
I don’t actually know much about CSS. I tried a few times to style some of those things and didn’t find a way to do it. I’m kind of a Jill-of-many-trades, master of none. Someone with more experience could probably do it though…
I’d wager (no, that’s illegal here) that “master of none” is just demure and self-deprecatory. Very funny. It looks to me, you could teach millions of “script kiddies” more than just a thing or two!
And I still can’t get over how much more I like this new look now, than I did just a few minutes ago!

Damn, bro, this is awesome. Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you for the killfile feature.
I was so comfortable with Usenet, where I could simply choose never to see any particular userid’s writing, or any particular thread or subthread — just killfile them and never see them until I got curious again.
It made going online to accomplish anything really …. restful. If someone’s posts drove me crazy and I just had to hammer them — instead, I could do something more mature, and choose not to see what I couldn’t read with equanimity.
It’s a gift. Many thanks.
No offense to anyone to whom I seem to quit replying, if you imagine I killfiled you, it’s not about you — it’s about my peace of mind.
I’ve always — I hope, close anyhow — backed away rather than reply to anything that riled me up.
It’s how the rules here tell me to work with the site, and I really respect that.
Killfile helps me do that, automagically.
I want to use BLF in a way that keeps me peaceful. I can do that, if I work a bit at it.
Some of the links and quoted lines in the signature are in blue and very very small. My old eyes and bifocals have trouble distinguishing those, including your repository TK. I think it’s a combination of the shade of blue and the small size. prollyjustme
At least they turn white if you hover. 
I also tried to make them more visible by giving links a black dropshadow, but it’s still a bit odd with blue. Human eyes have difficulty focusing on pure blue light.
How do you want it to look instead of the current appearance?
Also, as a side note, you don’t have to use the “after dark” theme in order to get the blacklist function. But if you do want to keep the “after dark” part, the code is all editable. Look for this part, and uncomment/edit the second line:
/* Make hyperlinks brighter, for DanielM */
/* color: #0094d9 !important; */
Additionally, to make signatures bigger, look for this part and change the font size:
/* signature at the end of each post */
div.clear {
/* display: none; */ /* in case you want no signatures at all */
margin: 6px 0 0 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
font-size: 80%; /* make the text smaller by default */
...
Just IMNERHO, but I absolutely LOVE the way hyperlinks work in this theme!! On my system, they change to White & quickly-but-gradually increase in apparent brightness, just like the CFLs I used to appreciate.
Just one of many wonderful features!!
I don’t even mind that the Search Results pages look really weird.
I guess my blue rods have been turned into red rods by my hot rods.
I updated the main theme file just now, with one tiny change:
- Styled the new “Rude!” button. (actually, all “flag” actions)
I’m not sure about styling the rudeness meter on the left yet… haven’t seen it with a non-zero number. Then again, I think the feature only landed like ten minutes ago.
Wow, that was lightning fast! Thanks! (I gave you a quick rudeness point so you can test it with a non-zero number. :innocent: )
Got a little distracted, but the meter works now too.
Not that it didn’t work before. It was just bright green.
I lost track of the discussion about blocking signature files, pointer welcome, I am sure it’s in another thread but search isn’t finding it for me.
I’ll copy it here:
Ahhhh, that works. Text I had long since memorized no longer appears every time.
Now, to program my glasses to filter out certain billboards and t-shirts …. oh, wait, that’s science fiction ….
And nobody has invented not-hearing-aid filtering either, just yet.
This is awesome. Thank you!
I’m not a fan of bright white high-contrast web designs. I find it more more comfortable to read some dimmer lower-contrast greys.
Kinda goes with being photosensitive, I guess. I can see well in the dark, but I can’t really see during the day unless I have dark sunglasses.
