Yes, it’s actually easier to read and more ergonomic and pretty to top it off ! (I don’t know if this expression exists in English )

[phenomlab]

@DownPW a perfect translation and expression. Same in English!

@phenomlab

you think I can have with result with a background (bubble + arrow) different to border color (more light) ?

@phenomlab

It seems that when the 2 codes are together, the thread view for topics no longer works.

On the first screen below, my post should be shifted to the right and it is no longer.
On the other hand, my post in “highlight” mode is quite offbeat

maybe a problem just with my CSS, I’m looking for the directive that could bother me

---

EDIT :

Seems to find the trick again, just add an !important to thread View post css code

li.pt-4.self-post:not(.self-post .topic-owner-post).threaded {
   margin-left: 0rem !important;
 }

Yep. Just don’t overuse that directive.

[DownPW]

Ok chief

– Result :

[DownPW]

hello my friend @phenomlab continue t otest and debug, I see this bug.

When you edit your post and save it, you lose the display (or the post simply disappears) and you have to refresh the page to see it again and display it correctly

EDIT:

• in public can :edit post lose display/layout
• In private chat : edit post lose the post

public :

private:

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Did you use the necessary patch?

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/a7517d886f83703dc158c0e2327542156b539eb6

[DownPW]

this :

$(window).on('action:chat.onMessagesAddedToDom', function(data) {
        	$(document).ready(function() { 
    	    console.log('hook triggered'); 
        threadedChat();
});
});

Seems you have add it on the function.js on github no ?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Yes, but check the git link - you need to modify public/src/client/chats/messages.js as below

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/a7517d886f83703dc158c0e2327542156b539eb6

[DownPW]

ha ok I misunderstood that. I thought it was just to add in the Javascript code.

So we have to create the hook manually until 3.5.0

Do you think this will solve the problem?

Test ASAP

Yep - I have the patch and cannot replicate the issue on here

[DownPW]

yep confirmed. All ok with the hook

[DownPW]

Better like this : add shadow and border-left on self answer

Of course - you style to your own requirements and taste I’ll commit that CSS we discussed yesterday also
