Avatar Banners

[Vapers United]

All went well!!! Thank you so much!!!

These are the settings I used...

/* == Moves everything to fit under banners == */
.mini-profile .info, .even .mini-profile .info {
   color: #000!important;
   position: relative;
   margin-top: 35px;
   font-size: 9px;
}


and all the way at the bottom...

.unblocked, .unblocked.even {
   font-size: 15px;
   background-color: #fffff;
   font-color: #000000;
}
I exported the Theme as a backup.

Is there a reason you removed the comment above the post modification CSS? I recommend keeping it there so that if you ever need to go through your CSS in the future you know what this snippet is for.

Good morning!

That was just the code itself for that part. This is how they actually appear...

There's a typo in a comment that I have fixed... PM to MP

I left myself plenty of notes!

EDITED: While attention is being paid to things effected by coding in this area, I wonder if we could address some things that this code does as it is. These things were mentioned earlier, and now I understand much better what you meant by some of the things you said, especially after seeing how this code effected the page. A bit more specifically, the top code was used to change the font size of the text below the banner. The second code changed the text size of everything else. It's a bit too global as it is. I didn't notice this last night.

Hello Kami

I don't mean to seem impatient, but I have no idea if you've been back here today or not. I have edited the post above a lot since I posted it, so you may not have seen the message at the bottom there as it is now. If you have not seen the post above recently, then please read the message first. There are some things that I didn't notice last night because I was so tired. I had only looked at a few Mini Profiles at that time, and little else.

To save you asking me what I meant by that, the image below is related to that message...

I'm willing to put in the work, but I need a place to start. Please let me know where you found the two snippets and/or bits that you gave me yesterday, so I may try to find others like it to reproduce your efforts in the areas that need attention, as detailed in the screen shot above this. And a little guidance as to what I'd be looking for would be nice.

I would like to have the ability to target and keep some of the changes (those noted in green), along with the ability to target and change the things that are noted in red. I'm good with all the text being black. It's only the size of the text that I want to work on, but complete code similar to what was already used would be nice. I can always set things like text color to black in them.

It seems to me that I would have to work with both sections of your code, with most of the work done by adding new sections (snippets or bits) below the top one, and comment each one as to its specific task like the one already there is. However, since the one all the way at the bottom seems to take over so much, it should probably be modified to target only the post area background color with...

.unblocked, .unblocked.even {
  background-color: #fffff;
}

and place that at the bottom, with everything else placed in a new "commented" snippet or bit (addressing one thing at a time) below this...

/* == Moves everything to fit under banners == */
.mini-profile .info, .even .mini-profile .info {
color: #000!important;
position: relative;
margin-top: 35px;
font-size: 9px;
}

keeping everything simple, by doing one specific thing at a time... possibly combining things that won't effect anything else.

Again, I'm willing to put in the work, but I need a place to start.

I stated privately as well as publicly, very explicitly, that starting this month I would be incredibly swamped at work. My mother is still also in the hospital.

I will get to this when I am capable, though as a reminder what you are asking for with regards to posts, as well as styling the mini profile as a whole, is outside of the scope of the avatar banner modifications.

If you are not willing to wait, please post in the Themes board for assistance from another party, as these are no longer template changes.

To clarify this is meant with a matter of fact tone and I am not upset in the least, just want to make sure that is clear.

Thanks for the reply. I noted that it wasn't my intention to seem impatient. You were here earlier today to ask a question and I did not realize that your schedule had changed.

I'm perfectly willing to wait. In the meantime, I hope things go smoothly with your new schedule, and know that you and your mother will be in my prayers.

Thank you for understanding. I should have some time either tonight or tomorrow to handle this, but I'll let you know if that changes. Two more projects landed in my inbox this morning so it's a bit rough (:

It's really not a priority. Please take your time and attend to things more important to you and your mother.

1. Try removing the !important from the .mini-profile .info font colour. The !important overrides any other changes, so if you had multiple colours for text in the MP (either in the CSS, visual editor, or through custom titles) then that would force it to change to black.

2. Remove the colour & font-size lines from the .unblocked CSS. Underneath that CSS, after the closing curly bracket } please add this:

/* == Change Font Colour in Post Message ONLY == */
.posts .post .message {
    color: #000;
    font-size: 12px;
}

As usual, adjust the #000 and 12px to whatever values you find appropriate. The above CSS should target ONLY the main text in the post, and not the time stamps, links, etc.

Thanks for coming back!

Did all of that and tried changing the font size. Seems to work good, from as much as I've tested it.

Hopefully that solves the issues you've been having. Let me know for sure at your convenience (:

So from here, if I make changes in the Visual Editor, this stuff will not be changed?

And does this only work in threads, or does it work in PMs, too?

Honestly I cannot remember. I almost NEVER work with the visual editor because hard coding the css from scratch is faster and easier to remember for me. My advice here would simply be to test it out. Save the style sheet, then make a test change in the visual editor and see what happens.

The above CSS will only work in threads, as PMs have a different class name. Would you like to affect PMs too?

[Vapers United]

Thank you, but you've done enough that's outside of the scope already.

I'll save the theme before making changes, so I can get back to where I was if something fouls up.

Thank you and have a great day tomorrow.

But please let me know when you have some time again. OK?

[Kami]

Happy to help, glad that it's (mostly) resolved to your satisfaction (:

I'm not sure when that will be, honestly. At least mid-October for anything big, but I can't guarantee that at all.
