    @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 🙂

    @crazycells hmm. That’s odd. I haven’t made any changes from recollection but I could be wrong. I’ll need to check. EDIT - very strange. I honestly don’t recall adding the below CSS block to alter the bottom bar, but you’re right… .bottombar-nav { padding: 0px !important; } I’ve removed this so it reflects stock Harmony.

    @DownPW yes, because of the modifications that Sudonix uses, you’ll need to tailor to fit your needs.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @jac said in Avatar on Topic Header: @downpw said in Avatar on Topic Header: Great Plugin I make it a bit cleaner via this CSS code: /*------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /*---------------- nodebb-plugin-browsing-users -----------------*/ /*------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /*Space between the avatar and the RSS icon */ .topic [component="topic/browsing-users"] { margin-bottom: -5px; padding-left: 10px; } /*Space between avatars*/ .pull-left { float: left!important; padding-right: 5px; } Do you have a screenshot of how this looks with the CSS change? Just added this change, thanks @DownPW
