    hi @phenomlab

    I use .category-item:first-of-type css properties for add a border-top on my principal pages like recent, unread etc…

    But this properties add a border too on topic header categories name.

    It’s possible to disable it just on topic (topic.header) ?

    @phenomlab

    I think I understand but I don’t find the good CSS class

    here the code for recent page for example :

    .category-item:first-of-type {
    	border-top: 1px solid #0a769978 !important;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px !important;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px !important;
    }
    

    and I will test this for disable border-top on topic page but don’t work:

    .category-item:first-of-type:not(.category-item .inline-block){
    	border-top: 0px solid #0a769978 !important;
    }
    

    here the html code :

    @DownPW sorry for late reply. Can you provide me with a url where this issue exists ? PM is fine of course if you don’t want to publish directly here.

    @DownPW A couple of things here. You are using the !important argument twice - one will override the other, meaning they can’t both be set like that - typically, the last marked so will be preferred. Would this not work better ?

    .category-item.inline-block {
        border-top: none !important;
    }
    
    .category-item:first-of-type {
        border-top: 1px solid #0a769978;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px;
    }

    @DownPW Try this

    .tag-list {
        display: inline-block;
        margin-top: 5px;
        line-height: 1.7;
    }
    

    Because you are using inline-block to float the elements on the same line, you cannot use margins to control the space. In this case, line-height will provide what you are looking for.

    @phenomlab

    great

    line-height: 1.7;

    is very good 😉

    @DownPW is there a URL where I can check this ? Might not be this evening, but definitely tomorrow am.

    @DownPW Try this

    @media (max-width: 768px) {
    .slideout-panel {
        margin-right: 1px;
    }
    }
    

    The issue here is how other mobile browsers interpret the padding on the slideout panel, so we need to “patch” it so that those browsers can use the forced margin instead.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @Panda you’d be surprised. If you consider that you’d need to use the API to be able to populate a WordPress widget for example (which in turn would of course be PHP), taking this route is still immensely popular.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
