Another quick Ultra-MGoBoard update
A couple quick/helpful updates today:
- Automatic image resizing works again, and now works for images within the actual posts, in addition to images in the comments.
- You can now hide a user's posts simply by clicking on a handy "hide user" button right under a user's name within a post. Clicking the link will ask you to confirm whether you want to hide this user. If you say yes, their posts will automatically be collapsed or hidden, depending on your settings. These changes can be removed from the options page.
It doesn't look like thread preview is going to be possible without some back-end support for it, so that's a bummer, but maybe Brian will put that in place at some point.

Now you can get rid of me again.

I wonder if that was the original problem? OMGShirtless overloading the system with all of the people whom he felt needed blocking...
February 26th, 2011 at 5:52 PM ^
Oh Secton 1, you're not always blocked you go back and forth. You get the Pink highlighting. Your schtick is fairly entertaining at times. I just question your mental stability.

Oooh, a hide user button! It's just like pulling the switch on a trapdoor and dropping someone down a shaft!

Have you had this comment saved since you thought you had a shot with my avitar?
Please tell me you didn't conceive that with her in mind.

I can see you replied to my post because the box is there, but the subject line and the box are completely blank. Your MGoPoints reads as -999999. Thanks, BlockM! Now justingoblue's avatar can talk to me all she wants but I can't hear what she's saying!
February 26th, 2011 at 5:22 PM ^
So his avatar is the perfect woman?

One of the reasons I come here is to be exposed to ideas and facts that I'm unfamiliar with and opinions I don't instinctively share, even if they're expressed by people who irritate the hell out of me. Sometimes you can learn quite a bit from people who are different. It's one of the reasons attending a large state educational institution can be valuable, as opposed to attending a tiny private college whose entire enrollment is smaller than West Quad and very homogenous. I'd rather have the return of negs that actually mean something.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
That's a reason why you would obviously not block people. I block those who irritate me, it makes my MGoBlog experience much more enjoyable.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:53 PM ^
Yeah, that's completely up to you. I know for some people it's a matter of "so and so is always posting offensive stuff," so this is just a way to permanently ignore all of that stuff. If there's someone that's constantly getting you worked up, it's nice to be able to ignore them altogether.
February 26th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
I think it's great that people now have the option to hide posters. Some will use it and some won't. I won't, but everyone will have a choice whether to use it or not. It sounds like a "good thing" to me.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but....
On the last thread there was something about using Stylish to widen the site to take up my whole screen, but after installing Stylish (on Chrome) I wasn't able to figure out how to do it. Can someone explain it to me? I'm usually pretty good with figuring out how to navigate preference windows, but I don't know how to use Stylish, and their support pages are less than helpful.
Thanks.

Once you install Stylish you should have the Stylish Logo up towards the right hand corner of your browser. It's an "S" in a Box.
1. Right click on the S and select "Options"
2. Click "Add New Style" on the left side of the Stylish options screen.
3. There should be a box on the left to name the Style (I named mine MGoBlog), click the "enabled" box.
4. Copy and Paste the code into the Code Box. You can use the one in this thread: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/mgoblog-stylish-theme-widescreen-folks or tweak it to as you please, I use this:
#banner, #container, #headercontainer, #header-region-container, #footer-region-container, #suckerfish-container {width: 1300px !important ;}#page-right, #round-right {width: 1299px !important;}#page-left, #round-right {width:1299px !important;}#sidebar-left {width 380px !important;}#sidebar-right {width: 210px !important;}#sidebar-outside {width: 0px !important;}#inside-content { width: 1299px !important; } body { font-family : Liberation Sans, sans-serif !important; font-size : 16px !important; } .indented{ margin-left:50px !important; } .title{ font-family : Georgia, serif !important; font-size : 20px !important; }#mainContent {width: 900px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;}#round-container {width: 1300px !important;}
5. Next you'll want to set the "Style" to apply to MGoBlog - Set the first box to "URL's Starting With" "http://mgoblog.com"
6. Hit the save button on the left hand side of the Stylish options.
7. Either Refresh MGoBlog or Fire it up another tab and you should see a red box with a #1 on the Stylish Icon in the corner of the browser indicating that the script is running.
8. Hopefully this helps, I don't know the best way to explain it through text.

Thank you.
Unfortunately, it's not working for me. On step 2, when I click on "Add New Style" nothing happens. I have a feeling it's the app and not me, so I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling until it works.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:09 PM ^
You might want to check to make sure you have the newest version of Chrome and the newest version of Stylish. I believe there may have been some incompatabilty at one point. If I could help you anymore, I would. Maybe someone else has a few ideas.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
I had the same thing. The stylish extension was killing my CPU, so there's something wrong with it.
February 26th, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
And ask themselves what the hell has happened now?
(I do appreciate your work, by the way.)

Can someone sum up the discussion for me? I've blocked everyone on this page so far. Thanks in advance!
