@crazycells Because that’s inherited from the core, and the settings icon is for further search options if you click it

oh I see… so, it is intentional… when you put those words like that, it makes sense

@crazycells What screen resolution are you running, and browser screen size ?
it is full-screen with firefox. total 1850 piksel from side to side…
But, the body of the forum stays at ~1150 piksel even I extend the browser more…
@crazycells Odd - 1850 x ?

@crazycells Odd - 1850 x ?
@phenomlab said in icon is missing for alternative logins:
@crazycells Odd - 1850 x ?
Oh yes, it is an external monitor; I measured it approximately…
additionally, I see my replies as indented in all threads, there is dead space on the left side that bothers me a lot
is it possible to adjust that so I can see all replies as full sized…If I want to see the replies specifically, I can click the arrow, but without that, I would prefer to see everything full sized. I could not see any option on the settings, so any help is appreciated

@crazycells The indentation you are seeing is part of the theme. Is this what you are referring to?
Note, the first post from me, which of course is indented. This generates a conversation flow, and I’ve no plans to change or remove this.

@phenomlab yes, this is what I was talking about.
If that is intended, then no problem. But I feel, the arrow in the red box already does a very similar job, so it was different for me.
After you said this, I understand what you are trying to do, but without putting my avatar on the right side of the page, I am not sure if that is giving people a natural conversation feel. This is how we got used to it from messaging apps.

Hmm - yes, that’s a really good point actually - and a fantastic idea which I’m highly likely to implement. Obviously, this wouldn’t be the case on mobile as the screen estate doesn’t permit this, but I really like the concept, and it would certainly make it feel more like a messaging app.

maybe, you can also lean the full-sized posts to the left side (by creating a dead space on the right side of the post?)… these zigzag conversation bubbles are what we are seeing in all messaging apps these days…

@crazycells I’ve been playing with some concepts, which are enclosed below. I think you’re right - this does look much better
Example 1 - fixed width content
Example 2 - full width content
My personal preference is example 2 as this uses the full width of the
.contentdiv, but still provides clear indication of a conversational thread. -

@crazycells hmm. That’s odd - works for me. Are you able to right click and save as ?
They are
webmformat so should work natively. I can makegifversions but these will be much larger in size. -
@crazycells I went ahead and added the custom CSS. I think you’ll like it, but you probably need to reload the browser to pick up the new code.

I tried to save it as a video, but nothing happens when I click it. -

wow, that feels nice
now it is more like a conversation. But your account is not always on the right side, right? only the “author” looks on the right side, everyone else is on the left ?

@crazycells That’s correct. The HTML layout is limited to specific classes, so you have to follow them unless you fancy hacking the underlying HTML. To me, this is a nice compromise, and could easily be expanded with some clever
jQuery -

Just re-reading this, and I think I see your point. Do you think that “you” should always be on the right-hand side (based on the screenshot from META you provided) ?

yeah, I believe this is what chat apps do… They always put you on the right side, and change colors, so you can focus on what others write…

@crazycells Got it. Leave it with me. I like this idea, and will probably implement, but need to review the HTML structure first.

sorry, I did not realize Firefox was the problem before…I think both version 1 and version 2 have different feelings. Is it easy to switch between the two?
