    @phenomlab If you’d like the effect I use here, that’s this chunk of CSS code (but of course applies to posts directly)

    li.self-post .content:not(.isSolved [component="post/content"]):after {
        border-left: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid var(--response);
        top: 60px;
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: 186px;
    }
    

    What does he does ?

    I can’t move the blockquote:after to the left 😞

    @DownPW did you add this line into blockquote ?

    margin-left: 50px; /* move to the right to allow space for speech bubble */
    

    You have to change this margin otherwise the :after sudonym won’t display as it needs to occupy the space left by the above CSS change.

    If I use your code :

    blockquote:after {
        border-top: 20px solid #eee;
        top: 9px; /* changes to top position negates original bottom */
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: -19px; /* changes to left position negates original right */
    }
    blockquote {
        font-size: inherit;
        border-left: 5px solid #eee;
        background: #eeeeee;
        border-radius: 6px;
        margin: 0 auto 40px;
        padding: 15px;
        position: relative;
        margin-left: 50px; /* move to the right to allow space for speech bubble */
    }
    

    I have this :

        border-left: 5px solid #eee;
        background: #eeeeee;
        border-radius: 6px;

        padding: 15px;
        position: relative;
        margin-left: 20px; /* move to the right to allow space for speech bubble */
    }
    
    blockquote:after {
        border-left: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid #eee;
        top: 10px;

    @DownPW yes, that does make sense actually. I forgot to mention the layout of Sudonix is custom so that would have an impact on the positioning.

    Good spot 🙂

    @Sala This should look better .sidenav .navbar-brand { padding-top: 0.5rem; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; } [image: e5cec20e-be36-4ee8-9129-fd11ad4656ac-image.png] You can increase the top and bottom padding by increasing the values above.

    mark hi, Refused to apply style from ‘https://efelsefe.com/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome-6-Pro/pro/css/v4-font-face.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/plain’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled. I keep getting this error.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
