    @phenomlab If you’d like the effect I use here, that’s this chunk of CSS code (but of course applies to posts directly)

    li.self-post .content:not(.isSolved [component="post/content"]):after {
        border-left: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid var(--response);
        top: 60px;
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: 186px;
    }
    

    What does he does ?

    @DownPW did you add this line into blockquote ?

    margin-left: 50px; /* move to the right to allow space for speech bubble */
    

    You have to change this margin otherwise the :after sudonym won’t display as it needs to occupy the space left by the above CSS change.

    If I use your code :

    blockquote:after {
        border-top: 20px solid #eee;
        top: 9px; /* changes to top position negates original bottom */
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: -19px; /* changes to left position negates original right */
    }
    blockquote {
        font-size: inherit;
        border-left: 5px solid #eee;
        background: #eeeeee;
        border-radius: 6px;
        margin: 0 auto 40px;
        padding: 15px;
        position: relative;
        margin-left: 50px; /* move to the right to allow space for speech bubble */
    }
    

    I have this :

    @DownPW yes, that does make sense actually. I forgot to mention the layout of Sudonix is custom so that would have an impact on the positioning.

    Good spot 🙂

    @Sala This should look better .sidenav .navbar-brand { padding-top: 0.5rem; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; } [image: 1669026666905-e5cec20e-be36-4ee8-9129-fd11ad4656ac-image.png] You can increase the top and bottom padding by increasing the values above.

    @DownPW said in Bottom footer navbar button extend: Oh my god, it’s beautiful mark I liked this design so much, I’ve implemented it here. I intend to do a lot more with the footer in due course, so hiding it makes a lot of sense. Thanks @DownPW for the idea and initial concept

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.

    @mike-jones Yes, you’ll typically see this type of behaviour if there is another style that has higher priority in the sense that yours will be overridden. Using !important will override the higher preference, but should be used sparingly rather than everywhere.
