Dreamwidth tips and observations.

[teres]

Given that I've made some observations and tips on my own journals over time, I thought it was time to share them a bit wider, so here goes:

• If you want to fine-tune your style, this page is the place to do it! You can use any CSS you want there.


• If you want to remove another user's custom CSS from your view, open the console, put in "$('style').remove();" and press Enter.


• To show people a details tag is clickable, add 'style="cursor: pointer"' to it.


• If you want to expand all comments on a Dreamwidth page, you can open the console (F12 on Windows), paste this: "$('a:contains("Expand")').click();", and then hit Enter!


• If you're navigating via the "previous 20/next 20" (or whatever amount you have) links, the furthest back you can go in plain view is 699 entries. If following the back link would land you at 700 or above, you'll get the same page as you just had. Trying to go back from there, or from a page reached by manually entering a number above 700, will lead you to the day view page for the day before the earliest entry in the overview.
  
  
  Navigating back via tags stops working at a seemingly random point between 500 and 512, and there's no way to go further back from that.


• You may have noticed that titles on Dreamwidth show a tooltip with the title when hovered on. This does not work when the title contains a straight double quotation mark ("), since that makes the title text cut off at the first quotation mark (and means nothing if displayed if the quotation mark is at the beginning). If displaying this title text is important to you, I recommend inserting these quotes by using """ for them.
