@dba_afish: y'can just overlay multiple drop shadows in a filter to get some sort of crude outline e.g. filter: drop-shadow(#000 0 1px) drop-shadow(#000 1px 0) drop-shadow(#000 0 -1px) drop-shadow(#000 -1px 0), but you shouldn't want to do that ever.

If you're on an apple device you can use this to fix the search

/*making post search magnifying glass black*/
.fa-magnifying-glass { color: #000000 }

e9 update means there's no text anymore, hmmm.

oh, man... do I have to do the whole thing _again_?...

Do you know how to give the icons a small border or background

putting borders around individual elements like that is pretty easy, should just be { border: 1px solid black; }.

do you mean like a stroke around the fa icons and text like this?

doing it around the font stuff is pretty easy (since I'd already done some of the work previously):

#nav-toggle, .nav-controls, .nav-controls .nav-tools-login { --header-stroke: #000000; /*<- stroke color*/
text-shadow: -.67px -.67px 0 var(--header-stroke), -.94px 0 0 var(--header-stroke), -.67px .67px 0 var(--header-stroke), 0 .94px 0 var(--header-stroke), .67px .67px 0 var(--header-stroke), .94px 0 0 var(--header-stroke), .67px -.67px 0 var(--header-stroke), 0 -.94px 0 var(--header-stroke); }

I don't know if it'd be possible to do something similar with the site logo, though.

    For example I don’t recall anyone ever asking to check out the wikis on the page they’re on when you can just click the question mark on a tag. It’s a neat feature but not something I entirely get the point of.

    If the read more actually expanded rather than bring you to a new page it would actually be pretty useful on mobile (actually it's already great for when people on the forum decide to use {{}} rather than [[]] to link to a tag). Trying to hit the fucking question mark when it's running away from you is a pain, and it only settles down after 10 seconds or so.

    "Sir Thomas More was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, amateur theologian, and noted Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532 and wrote Utopia, published in 1516, which describes the political system of an imaginary island state.

    His works and philosophy are survived in the present day by his long estranged brother, Read."

    The new layout is interesting but I wish there was an option to toggle certain aspects of it, like the search bar text wrap.

    my only real problem with it right now is that it has a Read More button that just loads a new page, which is usually not what that means. it should probably say something else (especially in cases where article is already displayed in full) and it also shouldn't be placed in such a way that it overlaps with text of the article in the way it does. the gradient also feels like it "starts" to early and "ends" too late, but that might be more of a personal thing.

    Just encountered this "wiki on posts" enhancement now and yeah same it was funny for it to load a new page than continue loading the contents after clicking Read More

    @Cinder: Playing devils advocate here. To be fair some of these changes seem to be headscratching or implimented imperfectly. Not everything is a perfect addition here and some of this should have just been something that’s a toggle in settings or stress tested better. For example I don’t recall anyone ever asking to check out the wikis on the page they’re on when you can just click the question mark on a tag. It’s a neat feature but not something I entirely get the point of.

    I guess the new layout is kinda of an improvement. At least I can now finally search things while viewing a post (on mobile)

    I'm not sure if "woke" is the right word for this, but yes, I've had moments where I've suddenly snapped out of muscle memory, only to realize, "oh fuck the way I'm doing this is actually really dangerous"

    this is reminding me of a cartoon review on YouTube from a few years ago; the person reacts to seeing the name "Mark Mothersbaugh" at the end of the theme song by saying something like:
    and for a split second I think I'm going to share his enthusiasm before he continues with:
    ...

    not "Frontman of DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh", or "Composer for literal hundreds of games/movies/series, Mark Mothersbaugh".
    Mark Mothersbaugh only did two things of note. and one of those things... was a fuucking Marvel movie.

    Reminds me of a story I heard of how this guy met the lead animator for Courage the Cowardly Dog, because they were their substitute teacher or something

    I feel like most of the time you see a "read more" or similar button at the end of a partial bit of text it expands out on the current page.

    I second this. I haven't personally seen cases where "read more" with obstructed text leads to a new page instead of expanding it, it may be more common on other places like news sites or the like (I don't really frequent those). But yeah, when I clicked that button on e6, I expected the text to be revealed in full just like how it works on YouTube.

    I guess what could potentially solve this issue is by making "read more" more obvious as a link and and not covering the text like it can be revealed, maybe by cutting it off with ellipsis instead.

    I guess i've been frequenting the wrong parts of the internet because read more usually loads a new page

    I feel like most of the time you see a "read more" or similar button at the end of a partial bit of text it expands out on the current page. I know that the thing at the top of Google searches has a button that functions like this, sometimes on information ''aggregated'' with vaguely traditional methods, but usually their dumb AI overview thing. the second of which is notable for also having an almost identical gradient on the text.

    some other examples are longer youtube comments, tweets, and similar.

    I recently had a dream that there was an artist on here with over 1.5 million images tagged to them.

    ehh... what's on e9 right now's not that bad, mostly just the new wiki thing being at the top of single tag searches. and, I mean, that's a new element, so if someone really hated it they could just, like, { display: none; } and the site would more or less look like how it had before.

    my only real problem with it right now is that it has a Read More button that just loads a new page, which is usually not what that means. it should probably say something else (especially in cases where article is already displayed in full) and it also shouldn't be placed in such a way that it overlaps with text of the article in the way it does. the gradient also feels like it "starts" to early and "ends" too late, but that might be more of a personal thing.

    also that half-pixel diffrence between the search text box and the search button.
