@manton Oh wow!! That’s amazing! The colors alone are so vibrant!

@nsmug Ah HA! Very cool app. I love this kind of super focused app. Thanks!

@fischr Nice to hear afresh that this is a solid, heartwarming film. I’ve had it on my radar for some time. Seems like it’s time to take it in. Thanks!

@nisbet-jones.ca Mmmmmm. Coffee ☕️

@fischr 💯🖖

@manton @fischr Installed the 1.0.5 of the plugin and the overlay is gone :) Thanks again to both of you!

@manton Thanks!

@fischr So, I have Manton’s Photo Collections plugin installed, v 1.0.4, which I recall I added for my album art uploads. I forgot to send this earlier. The composer window got stuck behind other stuff :D

@fischr After the rebuild and refresh it’s still doing it. @manton might you be able to take a look at tylerknowsnothing.com, click on the video in my most recent video post and tell where the lightbox is coming from and how I might block it for YouTube video posts? We’re having trouble figuring out where it’s coming from. Previous conversation has all the details. Thanks!

@fischr I just checked the code in the Photo Collections plugin and #microblog_lightbox is a selector. So, I’ll remove it and rebuild again. I think that should do it. BRB…

@fischr I’m going to try another theme to see what happens. I hope the theme preview works. It should be the same as the published version… I hope, at least 🤣

@fischr Ah yes! Thanks for the reminder. I’ll rebuild it now. Thanks!

@fischr I’m using Bayou. I’ll check to see what options might be available. Haven’t looked in a while :)

@fischr Ok. So I uninstalled the plugin and there’s no change. I pulled up the alpha layer and opened the DOM inspector and it’s under @media screen as #microblog_lightbox, so I think it’s just an in-built function of the Hugo system? I only know enough of this stuff to be dangerous, so I hope this is helpful :) The other issue seems to be that the thumbnail isn’t being pulled for the playlist, so it just shows two white bars. I’ll test the custom thumbnail function soon to see how that appears and let you know.

Thanks so much for all your help!

@fischr Ah. I was going to ask about that. I have to run out to get some old man lab tests done, but will check when I get back. I don’t recall having a gallery plugin explicitly, but I think I have some image-related ones. BRB! Thanks!

@fischr Excellent! Works now with no mods to the post. Nice addition of the custom thumbnail, too. I’ll give that a go on the next post. Thanks so much :)

@fischr Thanks! Checking now. BRB.

@fischr Sure! I posted two. I fixed the first one and it works, and this one does not. I left it unchanged for now so you could see them both in action, if that helps :) Here’s a link to the broken one. Thanks!

@fischr Nice YouTube plugin, René! I could use a little help with posting playlists, however. It works just fine with standard single video IDs, but seems to have problems with parsing the longer IDs. I often post what I’m listening to and albums come mostly in playlist format. Thanks!

@tylerknowsnothing I’m working on the new YouTube embed plugin I’ve installed and it doesn’t seem to want to handle playlists. Here’s the full link: youtube.com/playlist

@drrylandgrace.bsky.social Thanks! I appreciate your well wishes. It seems scientists may have figured out where Long Covid comes from (fragments of Covid that get stuck?) and might be able to develop a method that will flush out my system. I hope it doesn’t look like a radiator flushing kit 🤣

@jarrod I concur. I’ve pined after the 12” PB and MB devices for decades, but they’ve both been terribly flawed. And now that Apple has the perfect platform for a 12”, they don’t. Grrrrrr.

@manton Yes, please :)

@joshbressers Lost in Space.

@Voidchord Howdy and welcome! I like those things too!!
