@crazycells that’s as good a test as any 🙂

Essentially, we are looking for .topic-owner-class and if it does not exist, add new class .topic-response-post with associated CSS.
If anyone is looking to replicate this layout for their own forums, it’s not a trivial affair - nor is it for the faint-hearted - and I can assure you that you will mess up your layout so do it in DEV firstIt’s very good and definitively better.
Nice job Mark!!Could you provide your JS+CSS code so that I can test it and appropriate it on my dev environment?

I was dreading anyone asking for this
Let me put it together. Glad it’s well recieved.Author of OGProxy, Swatch, Threaded, Card, and most of Sudonix's bugs…

but not urgent.especially I am wondering how you achieved making user info (including the avatar) lean to the right side of the page… This is something we can implement as well…

@crazycells that’s a simple
float- but not as complex as it sounds and actually happens automatically because you are targeting the parent<div>. -

@crazycells Do you mean in a messenger type view ? Yes, of course, but the conversation would all be one way woudn’t it ?

-
@DownPW Not at all. Just that it’s quite complex and I’ll need to put together concise steps etc. Should have worded that better
This is more popular than I expected it to be ! -
anyone can help to me for this style?

That’ll be me
I will provide a write up, but it’s not a simple affair. You should try this in a dev environment first. -
@phenomlab yes i know that is you
i dont have dev 
but i think that you know my css and js type coz of fixed iframely. -
@cagatay I do know it, yes, but this code contains breaking changes so I would not recommend for this to be deployed in live without thorough testing first. It’s possible to inject and test CSS code on the fly, but it’s not reliable and if the site is reloaded, you lose your changes.
You really should consider a DEV environment for things like this.

@phenomlab got the point thank you.

oh yes sorry, let me further explain what I meant…
In a normal NodeBB Persona theme, the main problem on pages containing posts lists such as:
/posts
/best
/controversialis that avatar is forced to be on the right side of the page, and since the username and timestamp come after the avatar, there is a dead space created on the right side of the avatar on the mobile version of the website.
I was wondering if this re-ordering that you have just made with the messenger-style theme can be applied to these pages, so the username and timestamp can come before the avatar, just like how I see my posts on a regular thread here under this title…
I guess, in a sense, this is also compatible with your new theme since people will see their posts always with their avatar being on the right side of the page?
And on these posts list pages like
/best,/controversialyou look at your own posts lists anyways… -
by the way, we have to come up with another solution with the background of own posts… because this white background eliminates “quotes” as well… I cannot distinguish quotes in my post… Do you think keeping the gray border of the quote but not the background will solve the issue?
-
on a side note… you are such a great person
you should let us upvote you 20 times a day 6 is too low…
-
@crazycells heh, that limit is set by the extension and hard coded. Not by me I have to add.
-
@crazycells can you send me a screenshot ? I think I know what you mean - the quote background is close (or perhaps the same) as the reply background, yes ?

here it is…
-
@crazycells can you reload the page (f5 refresh) and then from the swatch selector, choose the daylight theme and let me know what you see ?
That screenshot you sent doesn’t look like the swatch is fully loaded.
