[Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text?
[Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text?
They always obscure part of the text, no matter what. I juat want the full text.
nb that I use KES so maybe that's where the issue is?
Edit: should probably mention that this is on mobile, android
Edit 2: the code snippet below, provided by @pamasich, seems to have fixed the issue. I added it to my mobile browser (Firefox nightly) via the Stylus add-on:
div.more:not(:nth-child(1 of .more)) {
display: none;
}
Edit 3: Latest KES update seems to have fixed the issue. More deets here: https://kbin.social/m/enhancement/t/777616 Thanks @shazbot
It may have something to do with the bug mentioned here:
The improved collapsible comments add-on, part of the original KES collection in version 1.0.0, has some conflicts with kbin's own implementation of collapsible comments. I am cleaning this up, but it may take some time
Ah, nice thank you. I'll look for that and disable it, see if it helps
I'm not sure what KES is but if I just scroll a bit then what u want to read or what I am writing is clear of the arrow. I don't use the arrow and am indifferent to it but I imagine others may like it. I use the PWA.
That's my solution 🙂
I'm not sure what KES
Kbin Enhancement Suite. Inspired by the Reddit extension of the same name (RES).
It's a userscript that provides many opt-in atomic features with a shared api and settings interface.
Current features include:
- hiding various sidebar elements
- bringing up a list of subscribed magazines via hotkey
- displaying the instance next to usernames and magazines
- a mail icon next to usernames which starts a new message when clicked
- notifications easily accessible in the navbar
- softblocking magazines
- syntax highlighting
- fixing broken lemmy code blocks
- and various others
What's PWA?
Progressive web app. You install it from your browser, and it runs from your browser, but you get a special icon to launch it. Probably more To it than that, but that's the most I think I know enough to say haha!
I think you're referring to the black bar below comments that are too long which can be clicked to expand the comment?
That has nothing to do with KES's collapsible comments feature as someone else brought up. It's a native kbin feature.
KES actually has a feature that addresses this by automatically clicking that bar, but it seems to only apply to thread bodies, not comments, currently. If you're interested in having it apply to comments too, try filing a new issue on Github requesting the feature. The mod in question is "Always expand post bodies" in the Threads category. This should be fairly easy to add.
Thank you. For me it shows up as a grey bar with an arrow in it (it then becomes two bars when pressed); that might be based on color scheme. But, yes, toggling various KES mods didn't affect it the issue, so it's very likely that it's a Kbin issue. Surprised no one else has mentioned it, if that's the case! It seems to just block out the last couple of lines afaik
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on a default kbin setup with KES either on off. The "always expand post bodies" feature of KES only applies to bodies, but I could extend it to support comments as well so that they auto-expand. What I didn't observe was any situations where the expansion bar obscures the text. Do you have a screenshot of that?
Are you running a custom theme?
I use a browser on pc and its never obscured the text once expanded for me.
Might be a mobile thing. Or browser. Always many variables to account for! But @pamasich code snippet seems to have resolved it for now
