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

BLF Site-related Issues
761

I think i marked it as spam :stuck_out_tongue:

762

I havenā€™t gotten email notifications for watched threads since the upgrade.

763

I donā€™t know where or on what forum I read it, but many years ago it was said that a members sig should always contain less lines than their shortest posts. Therefore if someoneā€™s sig contained 7 lines, their posts must contain at least 7 lines of text, but it had to be quality text.

I guess (hope) I would be safe if this was a BLF rule, no lines of sig means my posts donā€™t have to contain quality text, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

764

so, I made my signature point to the comment above about why it doesnā€™t work any more, hmmm, I wonder if Google or the Internet Archive has a cached copy of that missing post ā€¦.

PS ā€” Fritz t., mail notes of new responses arenā€™t working, I think.

You can do it with a CSS override, same as the site theme I made. However, itā€™s all very manual and canā€™t be triggered on a ā€œsig too longā€ condition. Instead, you can hide signatures on a per-user basis or a per-content-type basis. If three peopleā€™s sigs bother you, you can hide only theirs. Or if you want to block all images in signatures, you can do that. Or perhaps all tables in signatures.

For example, to block all images in signatures:

div.clear img { display: none; }

Or to block several peopleā€™s signatures:

div.posted-by-54321 div.clear,
div.posted-by-65432 div.clear,
div.posted-by-76543 div.clear
{ display: none; }

Thanks Hank.

Good idea, I changed the questions. Shhh, donā€™t tell the bots! :slight_smile:

PM sent.

Is the answer 42?

771

Isn't it always?

772

Not always, some believe the answer is 47, which is 42 corrected for inflation

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :money_mouth_face:

774

TK, I understand the CS for blocking images in signatures (thank you)

What Iā€™d still like to do is block text in signatures (selectively if possible, and blocking multiline/verbose specifically if possible)

I know at some point I just teach myself what to ignore. But if thereā€™s a tool, that frees up a few brain cells otherwise used just to filter my own visual input

EDIT ā€” tkā€™s code for that works fine, and is posted in the BLF After Dark thread

@sb:

Today, there were some new posts in a thread that I am subscribed to, and I didn't get any email notifications.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm not getting email notifications for any of my subscribed threads.

776

Until the email notification works,
you can use this link:

Things remaining to do:

10. Mouseover image button for Simple Post Editor

^is this going to happen?^

I tried to do it with the ā€œsource codeā€ from post #145 but I canā€™t get it to work because I have no idea what Iā€™m doing :slight_smile:
