Thanks! 
And there was much rejoicing.
Thanks. You may walk on my lawn anytime.
Thanks for enabling the skin switcher.
There was a lot of potential in the new theme, and I hope TPTB will authorize continuing to debug and perfect it, but it’s soooo good to be back to a theme that just works for how I read The Dope most of the time.
Thanks muchly!
Good to have my normal Dope back again.
yaaaaaaay
Who whoa whoa, not fixed at all.
- Still no bold/italic/link/smiley buttons
- No reply/quote buttons, just Quick Reply
- No “start new thread”
Please help?
Any another Thanks! for allowing us display options.
What is your setting for “Message Editor Interface”?
Go to User CP > Edit Options > Message Editor Interface (at the bottom of this page). It appears you may have “Basic Editor” selected. Choose on of the other two options. Specifically WYSIWYG if you want all of the bells and whistles.
Nope, still no joy.
Am I the only one still having problems with the new old format?
Just to be clear, are you sure you’re selecting the old skin in the menu or user CP?
You should see “Straight Dope v3.7.3” in the menu when viewing forums, like in this photo.
Is it just me or is multiquote still hosed?
Seems to work fine in the old skin. Don’t know (& don’t care) about the new one.
@Crazyhorse Yes. Old skin, WYSIWYG editor. Also, I forgot to ask: You know the Straight Dope banner that used to be at the top of the page that took you to the homepage? Is that still missing for everyone, or just me?
MIS: I suggested before that you’ve run into other problems that have to do with your computer. And I think this confirms it.
Check your extensions. And, if you’re not using GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey, uninstall them. You can try a binary search: turn off half your extensions, then see if the problem continues. If so, turn off half of the rest. If not, turn back on half of those you turned off. Rinse and repeat until you find a problem.
If that doesn’t work, you could check for any programs in your programs list to see if you see any that look like they could effect the Internet. And, if that doesn’t work, you may want to google how to make a new profile, or how to Refresh Firefox.
And, if that doesn’t work, I’d start looking for malware. Try some antivirus/malware scanners like MalwareByte AntiMalware. Sure, those little things aren’t what malware typically does, but they can be a side effect of badly programmed malware.
I just tried it, and it works for me. (Old skin, on a desktop.)
Actually, I’d never known that was a thing before this thread. I’d always scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page to use that link.
Didn’t work. I’m going to have to get someone who actually knows about computers to help me figure this out. Is it possible that I might need to reboot after getting rid of TamperMonkey? Because deleting it didn’t appear to do anything, but I can’t reboot right now because there’s something I’m in the middle of. I’m going to try that when I’m able and see what happens.
It works for me, but the entire banner isn’t clickable. You have to click directly on the image on the left side where it says
THE STRAIGHT DOPE
FIGHTING IGNORANCE SINCE 1973
IT’S TAKING LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT!
And you could fix it by adding
pre { white-space: pre !important; }
Or you can just remove the following line from css/stvb3r.css.
pre { white-space: normal; }
Also, I found the problematic CSS that is messing up boxes inside of quotes. The following fixes it.
.converttodiv div { width: auto !important; }
And this fixes Spoilers inside quotes:
div[style*=“display: none”] { display: none !important; }
