A couple of userpic-related questions

[jordannamorgan]

Hello. I'm a fairly new LJ-to-DW migrant who knows nothing about CSS, and would like to tweak some little things. Some entries I found via the tags were extremely helpful to me (thank you!), but there are a couple of other adjustments I'd still like to make if possible.

I'm using the Ciel layout. (FWIW, no paid account yet, but that is imminent.) My questions are:

1. Is there a way to wrap the text around the userpic in my entries, instead of just having a long strip of empty space under the pics? (Problem resolved--thanks for the help!)

2. Is it possible to make userpics NOT appear on any comments? (Basically, what I'd like is to see only my own icons on my own recent entries page.) I've been able to remove userpics from my reading page, but not from comments. Currently I just have them shrunk to their smallest size via DW's options. (Thanks also for the answers to this!)

Merry Christmas, and thanks for any suggestions. :)

1) It /should/ be wrapping already, though if you mean the spacing before the first wrapped line, this should remove that:

.entry .userpic img {10px 10px 0 !important;}

2) For some reason I thought we had a no-icon option but apparently I am hallucinating options. This should do the trick though:

.comment .userpic {display: none !important;}

Both of those lines go in the Custom CSS box and then save it - you don't need any other options.

The second item did remove userpics from comments. Thanks very much! :)

As for the text non-wrapping: I'm not sure if my browser is just behaving differently (which does happen), or if I didn't properly explain what I'm seeking. I edited the entry to include a link to a screencap, so perhaps you can compare that to what you see in your browser? It's not about anything around the first line, but what is (or rather isn't) down under the userpic on the left.

Thanks again!

Hmmm. I'm going to guess that's a browser problem, because it shouldn't be doing that! What browser are you using, so I can see about a bug fix?

In the meantime, try .entry-content { overflow: visible !important;} perhaps? You're getting the behavior I get only if I tack 'overflow: auto' (which isn't in the code) on there - and I'm looking at your journal, so it's not something you've done.

[jordannamorgan]

I'm afraid that code had no effect on what I'm seeing.

After looking at my journal in Safari, it does seem to be a browser issue. I generally use IE, but at some point I apparently (somehow) got IE9 set up to mimic IE7, because I had problems with 9. As a result, both LJ and DW's systems want to identify my browser as IE7, which has caused several annoying display problems.

[momijizukamori]

Oooh, yeah :|a IE7 is out of our supported browser range, so unfortunately I can't guarantee a fix. That behaviour is just downright odd, though, so I'll poke into it further and see what I find.

[jordannamorgan]

After a quick search on the subject, I appear to have just resolved the problem! Apparently both DW and LJ were on the "Compatibility View" list in my IE settings (though I do *not* remember ever adding them, or even doing anything with the compatibility settings at all). I gather this has been making those particular sites behave as they would in IE7. I removed DW from the list, and lo and behold, my journal is now displaying properly--text wrapping and all.

Thanks so much for your help!

[momijizukamori]

You're welcome!

And now I know for future people using IE7 with problems *g*

#1 -- having trouble replicating this; it's wrapping for me, I think?

#2 -- Easiest way to get them to still show up on your recent entries and still kill comments on entry pages is custom CSS as such:

.comment .userpic { display: none; }

[jordannamorgan]

Thank you very much for replying!

Please see my reply to the previous commenter, and the edit I made to the entry. I included a screencap to illustrate the blank space I'm getting that I would preferably like to eliminate.

[foxfirefey]

Yeah, that must be a particular browser thing! It doesn't look that way to me at all.

[baggyeyes]

I hate to ask, but did you clear your browser cache? Sometimes it can be a wee bit persistent.

[jordannamorgan]

Yeah, it isn't an issue with that, but apparently with the behavior of the browser I use. *shrug*
