Scroll Bar For Signatures

Voxalice

I think it's important to note that implementing this suggestion would require adding one (1) line of CSS.

https://cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/__cac9f5adaa9051e99d80cf9a10ac4e8f__//djangobb_forum/themes/scratch_default_theme_copy/style.css is a link to Scratch's forum style. (Not “base.css” - that's the default style provided by DjangoBB.)

To implement this suggestion, here's what would have to be appended to the end of the linked file:

.postsignature { overflow-y: auto; }

I just tested this using Chrome's override feature, and it works perfectly fine.

In that implementation, scroll bars are only added to signatures that are too tall for their containers.
To make scroll bars show up on every signature, use this line of CSS:

.postsignature { overflow-y: scroll; }

Of course, the signature line still gets scrolled with the rest of the signature, which is probably unwanted behavior.

@ACE009 shared some CSS to fix this issue, which I've modified slightly:

.postsignature { overflow-y: auto; max-height: 154px; margin-top: 14px; }
.postmsg > :nth-last-child(2) { position: relative; }
.postmsg > :nth-last-child(2)::after { content: "____________________________"; color: #ccc; position: absolute; left: 0; bottom: -6.5px; height: 14px; }
.postsignature hr { display: none; }
/* To make scrollbars visible, remove this line. */ .postsignature::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; }
/* To make scrollbars visible, remove this line. */ .postsignature { scrollbar-width: none; }

Again, it works perfectly fine and nothing looks different, unless the scrollbars are made visible.

Isn't there already scroll bars on siggys?

Support it will be an easier way to see long signatures and most users don't know how to Shift + Down Arrow also I agree with @Voxalice that it will work fine and wouldn't be that hard to implement since it's 1 line of CSS.

As someone who has just ran into this problem myself, I think that, if they really don't want to add scrolling (for spam purposes or whatever), they could at least add a length limit. Because, when I made mine, I didn't realize it was going to be cutoff (just thought preview was broken). For that reason, if they had a length limit, at least I would've known that that would happen

I am now finding it impossible to use the Shift-Down trick.

No. You can scroll with shift select down arrow

support, people can see my signature then

Support, it would be so much better to have a lot more space to put things in your signature and since they can be used for tools and art-y stuff, imagine the cool things people could do with this!
