    @jac That’s not as simple as it looks unfortunately. The text isn’t formatted as a single line so the artefact of that is the multiple three dots you can see. It’s possible to consolidate this into one line, but it can only be for that particular view meaning you need explicit CSS.

    Happy to have another look, but it’s a lot of work for very little (cosmetic) gain.

    Thanks for looking mate, I seem to remember it was possible last time but I can’t find a screenshot to show you unfortunately.

    No sweat mate, I just thought it would look a bit more professional and cleaner 👍🏻.

    Had another go at this. The best I’ve come up with is

    .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card .recent-card-body {
        height: 143px;
        overflow: hidden;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        width: 200px;
        max-width: 200px;
        line-height: 1.2;
        white-space: nowrap;
    }
    

    Which looks like the below

    @phenomlab is there any way to change the colour of the tags?

    IMG_20211007_221027.jpg

    Is there any way to have the tag background In blue, with white writing and the number to be in yellow? but to all be together?

    Many thanks 🤞🏻

    Yes. See CSS below

    .tag-item {
        border-radius: 4px 0px 0px 4px;
        vertical-align: middle;
        float: left;
        width: auto;
        background-color: #194F90;
        color: #ffffff;
        font-weight: 500;
        position: relative;
        padding: 8px 5px 4px 10px;
        height: 39px;
        padding-right: 10px;
    }
    .tag-topic-count.human-readable-number {
        float: left;
        width: auto;
        margin-top: 0px;
        background-color: #FFC557;
        color: #333;
        padding: 8px 4px 0px 4px;
        border: 0;
        text-align: center;
        min-width: 50px;
        border-radius: 0px 4px 4px 0px;
        height: 39px;
    }
    

    Looks like this

    Apologies to keep throwing these into the mix.
    .if the requests get too much let me know. I just find little changes here and there.

    Itz probably a longshot anyway, but is there any way to change the link colour on the quotes to yellow?

    Many thanks 🤝

    @jac Yep. Admittedly, I’ve taken some of the theming from Sudonix, but I’m ok with that.

    Going to implement all of the above now…

    As for the footer widget I can’t remove the NodeBB text as I’m not on the laptop you, I’m happy to include phenomlab on there for all your efforts and continued help?

    Maybe something live Version 1 in the footer and then when a significant change is made the version number can be updated.

    I think it’s because the mentions colour is set to white, I’ll find the other colour and change it.

    It’s probably my fault as I’ve chosen a background colour that natively clashes, would you prefer me to change the quote colour instead?

    @jac Use this

    blockquote a {
        color: #ffc557;
    }
    

    You’ll need a hover class as well otherwise the text will disappear when hovered over - use this

    blockquote a:hover {
        color: #db9716;
    }

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @phenomlab said in How to set a signature in NodeBB?: @jac No issues at all with copying. This is set using the signature for the user you are posting as. In the case of Hostrisk, it’s set like the below [image: 7bf04183-f6e8-4d72-b0eb-c9a05c9cd24b-image.png] You can set the signature by using https://domain.com/user/theuser/edit Mamy thanks Mark, I’ll set this up later .
