Hi,

looking into FB this morning, I notice some changes in the layout and now, event Nath's fix (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/88509) is not working any more.

E.g., now I have no list of my friends online, I have thumbnails instead. Damn, I want back my list! :)

Anyway, theses chages seem to prevent FFixer from working again... :(((((((((

Anyone else having such problems?

Cheers,
Enkidu

Yeah, I believe it started several days before the script quit working.

Nath's is still working for me. Perhaps I didn't get hit with it yet. FB needs to knock the shit off!

If you have enabled the option to keep the top menu fixed try disabling it.

I'll have a new beta up within the next couple hours will should be working fine.

BETA does not change the Friends on Chat scenario. They are still thumb nails. Personally I preferred the list layout. It was much easier as people change profile pics all the time.

Looks like it has fixed the other things I use on a regular basis very well, thanks.

I didn't have any plans on changing the chat section in this beta, it was primarily to fix stuff that was broken by Facebook's most recent changes. But it shouldn't be too hard to get names showing in the chat section, so I'll work on that now.

@Vaughan: Would it be possible to sort the names in the chat section first by activity-status, second by first name? This would be great!

Tnx in advance.

Many thanks for the beta. Hate the new layout, glad FFixer is here!

Will there be a way to force the font size/style at all? I hate that it is so small, and don't want to ctrl+scroll change it for all website, just FB.

I was thinking the same thing. Have an option to select text size in FFixer. That would be useful.

So they did shrink the font size? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. And did you notice that the name and updates are on separate lines now?

Add this to Custom CSS on FFixer Settings and you will be ok ;)

.uiStreamMessage {font-size:13px !important}

13px is the old font size! (i like 14px though)

Also you can put a different font if you like... I prefer Comic so the full code is :

.uiStreamMessage {font-size:13px !important; font-family:"Comic Sans MS", cursive, sans-serif;}

You can find the fonts here : http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_websafe_fonts.asp

DoSMaN, Good job with that code. Can you come up with something to enlarge the comments also? The comments are still small after the original status is enlarged with your css.

I don't believe it!!!
I found it too!!!

Little view source thing and voila!!!
Ready to testing :D

For Group Posts :
.UIIntentionalStory_Message {font-size:14px !important;} * (you can put any size you want)

For Global Comments :
.commentContent {font-size:14px !important;} * (you can put any size you want)

Check them and tell me :D

Works good!
For laughs, set your text at 40px! Looks real crazy!

Great fix DoSMan! Works for me. Oh yes, what's the original font size for comments? 12 or 13?

 
DoSMaN User

Thanks :D
The original font size is 13px but now that you have the "power" to change it to whatever you want, i don't think that this really matters ;)
Just make them that big or small that you want :D

Very nice solution...is there any way to set it up so the text is not the line below the user's name now? IIRC it used to be right on the same like as the name.

Let me give a visual representation of what I mean.

Old: John Doe (status)

New: John Doe
(status)

Is there any way to modify the code so that it appears in the "old" style? Many thanks!

 
DoSMaN User

Yes the're is a solution for that too!!
Just to be clarified this is NOT MY solution. This is a solution from other script but it works well :)

.actorName{ display:inline; margin-right:3px; padding-bottom:0px !important; }

Add the above code to Custom CSS, save settings and refresh

 
Texan_POd User

All the above CSS worked very well, Thanks.

Is there a way to hide the blank "Write a comment..." line that shows up when someone "Like" or "Comment" on a message as it is a waste of space. I would prefer it not show up until I click on the Comment link.

I tried adding "- Write a comment..." to the Custom Feed Modification section but it pretty much wiped out almost all the posts.

 
DoSMaN User

I tried to do something but everything was wrong.
It hides completely the "write a comment" and even if you press the comment link didn't display the comment box...

I will try again tomorrow. (i don't have any programming knowledge and anything i have done this far is because i search inside the source code)
