I changed the hyperlinks to be underlined. Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit the CSS file so that only hyperlinks in the forum posts are underlined, so now everything is - Forum names, the Board Navigation links, etc. What do you guys think? The underlining kind of annoys me, but I'm up for hearing your input. Thanks!
I figured you were playing around with the formatting. Planned on giving it time and all would be back to normal. I agree that the underlines are a tad annoying. At first I thought that it would be great for new members to get a feel for all the things that are clickable on a page. But after a while I just decided that it's annoying. For example, in the Board Nav box, of course those items are clickable. In the "Who is Online" box, it's harder to read the names with them all underlined. The "View posts..." in the User Info box, of course those are clickable. I vote to remove them - when you figure out how. I'm not websmith, but can you change the forum post links to another style? I'm sure that if I've thought of that, you've though of that.
I can see that things don't look as visually "neat" as they used to. But it really doesn't bother me one way or the other. Like anything - once you get used to it - you tend to forget about it.
I didn't like them from the moment I first saw them. I thought maybe it would go away, and so definitely would like to see it gone.
I'd prefer they not be there but Tony makes it a point. It does help those who are new navigate the board (like how I couldn't find "New Posts" on HiHyChat). I guess underline is ok but for the links to the threads on the main frame, I find it a bit intrusive. Otherwise, the underline in the boxes on the left are fine with me.
try using: td.postbody a { text-decoration: underline; } "td<period>postbody<space>a" means "anchor (a) elements contained inside a table cell (td) element that has a class name of "postbody"
Ah, and I thought Firefox went crazy because home had underlines, work didn't. So anyways, looking at the HTML source, for any forum post that uses [ url ], when it translates into the , have it generate instead: with CSS of: a.postbody { text-decoration: underline; } Or, just use exactly what wrprice said because it'll more efficient.
Ok, I changed it back. Also, I tried editing the css file to add what you guys posted, but I can't get it to work. Here's the source code to take a look at if you want.
Well, I tried downloading a PriusChat page to my desktop. Then I went to the viewtopic.php_files directory Firefox created and checked the fisubice.css in there. The content is not the same as the fisubice.txt you posted. It's missing the line you added to fisubice.txt. I edited "viewtopic.php_files/fisubice.css" in viewtopic.php.htm to read "fisubice.css" so it would read the one off my desktop which I downloaded. Next, I loaded the .htm into Firefox, and links underline correctly in the postbody as we are intending. So my question is are you sure you're editing the right .css file? Supposedly it's in the "templates/fisubice/" directory? Also, make sure the: td.postbody a { text-decoration: underline; } is on one line.
Hey Danny, looks like you got it! So only thing to 'pretty up' is to move that css to one line, otherwise it looks good.
Hey Danny, have you using any of these software add-ons and techniques to help speed up PriusChat as it is currently being used to speed Wikipedia?
On topic: I liked the pages without underlined links and I am glad Danny was able to restore that. Gilbert & Sullivan had a song about how common one can become when everyone is special, and the underlining of nearly all text reminded me of that. Off topic: Around the time the underlined links appeared, I have lost one ability in my use of the website, and maybe it can be fixed. When I list all posts since my last visit, there are likely to be more than 50 such posts. That means the result of listing new posts will have multiple pages. I cannot usually view pages "2" or Last, but sometimes page "3" or "4" will display. When there is a problem, the page will say "Your search did not return any results." I find the number of posts found (since last visit) to be accurate, but the number in the "User Info" box at left to have an unexplainably larger number, that is not useful to me. Hope this helps.
