just in case anyone is worried that this trivial poo poo is all that we're working on, this was done because it was pretty easy to do (once I figured out what to do and where to do it) and it was a good way to test to see if we could deploy user-visible changes without destroying the forums again. the squares are just some poo poo in the CSS and can change as easily as all the other lovely balls and whatever you all have next to your names, so don't get too attached to/distressed by them

Or, you could call it the further militarization of St. Louis.

What's a spoiler look like again

e- what's the problem you're having? Making spoilers block stuff out, or what?

Going off the default css file, this should (ideally) be what you need to tweak

CSS code:

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler{
background: #828282;
}

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler * {
visibility: hidden;
}

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler.spoiled {
background: transparent;
}

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler.spoiled * {
visibility: visible;
}

Really the background colour at the top should be all you need to change (that's the spoiler box), the rest of it handles making things appear and disappear appropriately. That's from the latest code anyway, assuming spoilers work on the normal themes? I'm still on a super-old version for no good reason :ohdear:

I do. I use the dark theme Spanky created back when you introduced css themes. What should I look for in the file to see if it's there?

Edit: found it. How does this look?

Here's what the spoiler section of my theme looks like. I'm terrible with CSS, so I don't really know if this is correct or not. I'm just running a theme created by another (smarter) forum member

That makes your spoilered text (permanently) black, if that's what you wanted? (It might not affect revealed text though)

From what I assume anyway, the sections go like this:

CSS code:

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler{
  /* this section controls the box that holds the spoilered stuff */

  /* here it just sets the colour of the box */
  background: #828282;
}

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler * {
  /* this section controls the stuff IN the box (see the * in the definition?
     It means everything within bbc-spoiler, under it in the hierarchy) */

  /* here it makes all the stuff invisible */
  visibility: hidden;
}


/* these two sections are the same as the two up there, except they control
   how the 'revealed' version looks */

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler.spoiled {
  /* hide the background colour, i.e. make the box itself invisible */
  background: transparent;
}

section.postcontent .bbc-spoiler.spoiled * {
  /* make all the stuff IN the box visible, so it appears */
  visibility: visible;
}

Not tested any of this bla bla bla. Really you shouldn't need to change any of that except the colour of the box, unless you're doing some wacky extras

What happens if you remove that "color" line? And do you have any lines with !important in them (which kinda forces an override), especially ones involving visibility?

It might be worth putting the whole thing on pastebin or something

I'll poke around and check.

In the meantime, let me spoiler some text as a test .

I've discovered a new bug.

Sometimes when I open a thread from a link in chrome, that thread then becomes stuck somehow and everytime I open the app that thread is the one that shows. It's really annoying.
Clearing cache fixes it but it's a PITA.

It might be only with archived threads or something idk.

Well, the issue with my theme is spoilers in nonblack posts, so I'll see if my code looks anything like that.

Like this stuff, for instance.

It places you in the same location as the previous page. For example, if you are midway down the list of threads, that is where you will be on the next page. In your case, you were at the bottom of the list, so that is where it scrolls to.

Yeah, is that something that can be easily fixed? It seems counter-intuitive, but it's not exactly the biggest pain in the world so I'm fine if it can't.

Announcements aren't threads so the app doesn't parse them. We could probably do that but nobody has bothered yet.

If I knew what is causing them they wouldn't show up for long. If you want to do me a favor (and they show up frequently for you) try out the Something app and see if it happens there too

"They" have been working on a mobile site and/or app since before Awful.app existed. The coder has plenty of other more pressing things to attend to and besides, I'm sure he'll last as long as the last few staff who've been brought on.

I just submitted 3.1.1 to Google Play.

Mostly I fixed the mojibake that plagued the non english-speaking or �-typing users of this forum.

I also reenabled Youtube embedding on Kitkat devices. It was turned of because on Kitkat devices it caused the page to be reloaded over and over again. If this happens to you now please turn embedding off in the options. You can find it under Settings->Posts->Embed videos.

After finishing a few projects and a thesis I should have more time again now. At least on weekends.
