Thank you! I have seen the box for custom css in the user control panel but never wanted to touch it. I like the default display (when it's showing a page directly, it's pretty, simple and looks good on mobile and desktop).

However -- when you see the full user blog stream, it compresses vertical spaces; this is the problem, I had thought it changed the width, but checked and it remains at 640 pixels, as it does in page view.

Sadly some programmed decided to save vertical space when displaying the bigger list, and it's damaging to content and presentation. Sucks, really.

Thank you for looking into this, much appreciated!

@angedestenebres @matt

@penny @Sphinx You are very welcome. My pleasure.

@penny

Nolan can be reacher either at @ nolan @ toot.cafe

or @ pinafore @ mastodon.social

I inserted spaces here so we won't bug him for now. I asked and he mentioned either address is ok to use for support , suggestions, questions, etc.

Have you seen the Husky mobile client yet? it's been made as a Tusky fork by a pleroma admin -- and the idea is to add what's missing.

He's got Markdown in it already, for example.

@Husky -- download link in this profile.

@matt

Thank you so much, Matt. Sorry for the rant, but I was quite annoyed. As you can imagine.

My original post here had all the content in one post, and flowed perfectly.

@zleap @globcoco

@penny

You could make a request to Nolan -- he's the author. Problem is, he works on it on his spare time, a labour of love, and Pleroma support has been mentioned as not high priority in the past.

That could change if more people and instances did move to it.

@Sphinx

@globcoco Line Break, Carriage Return.

Blank line at new paragraph. Looks nicer. See this example.

@penny

Wonderful Penny -- put the word out.

We now have a Pinafore Discussions forum here too!

@Sphinx

>> I notice a lot of people using pinafore now

The Elite users know about it. 😋

@globcoco

Those applied specifically to the Discourse Forum at their home location.

New user restrictions, kind of harsh for a support forum for Internet active people.

@matt

@matt due to all the new user forum restrictions, done in multiple posts, uglier and more time consuming.

@angedestenebres @tedomum

I took the question, with the screenshots and the same letter I wrote to you this morning, into the Write.freely Forums.

Annoyances. At Write.as forums.

Intended post -- identical to this one : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/a-request-to-tedomum-regarding-the-write-freely-instance-post-display-css/348

Come on, @matt

@globcoco

For writers I would think LaTex is overkill, it's best for science and math publications. For us wordsmiths, markdown does wonders already.

@zleap

@angedestenebres @tedomum

Thank you -- It would be wonderful if it could be done. I had thought it was scaling the images and the page to a smaller width, but no, it seems to be the same 640 pixels as the individual page display.

Sadly that they vertically compress the line breaks like that. Merci!

@angedestenebres

Thank you, Ange, I just received the notification of your reply, appreciate your help!

@globcoco

@compass_straight_edge I thought of suggesting also, as a less time consuming alternative, you could write your posts and place them in other existign areas; the ycan stand by themselves in the Library for example, and people could comment if they got interested.

Firing up a new Forum area needs stamina and effort if we want to see it populated and growing.

@globcoco

the author has on-mouse-over effects included. Pretty, nice images.

But I really think the most important is the words, to keep them crisp and focused -- when I open a page directly, via it's URL, it looks superb, the view I had when I hit Publish.

I would like to have people see that same view.

And so far I have stayed away from changing any css, as I wanted to concentrate on content, and it presents quite nicely. There are some examples in a link, haven't looked sicne I wanted to avoid distractions when I was starting up, and so much was new already.

@globcoco

Yes! I even have a collection of snapshots of posts I make there; sometimes I attach a copy here so people can see them the way it should be.
