Thank you both! Goodbye 2d scrolling nuissance on post history page  
@theymos  while you're at it, could you pick a style for identifying the linked-to post in a topic?  

I merged an updated version of this patch which PowerGlove sent me. It looks to me like it fixed the problem, and I haven't been able to find anything that this change broke.

Thanks for finally finding a way to cleanly fix this long-standing annoyance!

Wow you lucky fella that was fast, even on the quantum scale it's faster then expected, remember just yesterday you were just thinking about it.


Congratulations both of you (n0nce and PowerGlove) deserve to be in such a prestigious campaign

Ha! It went much slower than I expected. I'm joking (obviously), I know how coveted ChipMixer spots are, and I'm super grateful to DarkStar_ for squeezing me in.

Thanks, n0nce. Yep, there was no mention of it on the campaign thread.

I may be romanticizing the time I missed out on, I suppose. I go through a lot of old topics, trying to catch up on what's happened here; who has beef with who, who should be ignored, who should be listened to, etc. so for me (so far) a lot of my time on Bitcointalk has been like flipping through a yearbook for a school that I wanted to go to, but didn't.

Thanks, man. I don't think you'd have much trouble if you decided to study it. You mentioned once before that you aced two semesters of physical chemistry, so I think you're probably just being lazy.

Welcome @PowerGlove! There was no announcement in the signature campaign thread, right? I just saw it in the spreadsheet.

That went even faster than I expected, welcome to the club

Yep, although I'm not exactly sure what good stuff you think you've missed out on as far as the forum goes.  Assuming bitcointalk will be around for many years to come, and if you stick around long enough, you could easily become an old-school member that newbies will call "sir" and state that they're afraid to send you a PM and so forth.  Lol.

But you're making some damn fine contributions now, and IMO that's really all that's important.  Plus I'd add that at least you've got the technical background to make said contributions.  I'm still stuck being the automobile driver who's got no idea how things work under the hood, if you know what I mean.  I could probably spend time studying the fundamentals of cryptography and the mathematics that are the basis for bitcoin, but I'm afraid my brain couldn't take it at my age.

I'm in the same boat, and I've been into bitcoin for longer.  You know how many times I've publicly flogged myself for not buying bitcoin at $200 or not holding the bitcoin I bought when it was well below today's price?  If I spent any more time thinking about what could have been, I'd go insane. 

I firmly believe that bitcoin will eventually hit $100k.  Not sure if you feel the same, but if that's true then anything you buy around $23-25k is a steal.  Keep stackin' them sats, and it'll pay off.  You're still young, so you'll see in time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. You really have to scroll around to find the "Send message" and "Preview" buttons.

No. He merited the OP, so I assume he's considering merging it at some point.

Yep, I suppose. I tagged him a few posts up, but I'll bug him with a PM in a week or so.

Thanks for the support, it means more than you think; I've only succeeded in getting theymos to merge one of my patches so far, which is a bit demoralizing. Hopefully more of my stuff gets merged in the future (especially the member filtering patch, I'm pretty keen to see that implemented).

I had the same problem today, and it's very hard to reply anything when you receive message with signature for example.

Did Theymos blessed this fix? Maybe you should contact him again with PM.
I know your worked on that but I never heard update any reply from moderators, but I am supporting it, if it means anything.

Hmm, I spotted the very same thing at around the same time you did. What are the chances of that? Were you also sending DarkStar_ a PM about the new ChipMixer signatures?

I'm doing other SMF work at the moment, but I'll make time in the coming week to fix this. Obviously, it's tempting to just apply the CSS tweak that shahzadafzal suggested, but that's not the proper fix in my opinion (it will have undesirable side effects).

I'll update the OP with a second patch, or make a new thread about it when I'm done. Thanks, Loyce!

Edit: On second thought, it doesn't make much sense to add another patch to the pile; I'll wait and see if theymos merges this one, before fixing the same issue with PMs.

The same thing occurs when replying to a PM with wide code-tags:

Aren't we all? I still regret not buying Bitcoin when I first heard about it.

Yup, thanks TP. I should cool my jets.

It's not rational, but I just feel like I have to make up for lost time. It feels like I've missed out on all the good stuff, you know?

I marvel at the quality of some of the technical discussion from years ago, and I'm sad that I missed that era of the forum.

It also seems like my kind of contributions (i.e. programming-related) would have found more fertile soil 6 or 7 years ago.

I'm also a little salty that (with more foresight) I could've been quietly stacking sats all this time.

This is something I've noticed a long time ago, so when I came across this topic, I quickly understood what OP meant, it is an issue I personally never considered to be an issue by the way, so I saw no importance in reporting it, cus I know that I'm probably not the only one that have noticed this and kept quiet about it.
Maybe the not seeing it as an issue was because I lack the technical know how fix it, so ignoring seems the best option since reporting without proffering possible solutions was kind of useless.

I am glad OP brought this up and also provided a fix, a job well done indeed, now, lets wait on theymos to have it implemented.

PowerGlove, I don't know how old you are but I'm assuming you're a young man--probably younger than I was when I registered here, though that's just an assumption based on another assumption that most members here are in their 20s (or even younger) to their early 30s.  If that is indeed true, you've got plenty of time and ought not feel pressured to do anything, achieve anything....you get my point.

And on top of all that, you're working your way up faster than probably 99% of members and I think you'll probably have a great shot at getting into Chipmixer whenever it is you're eligible to.

@theymos: Please merge this patch, or PM me with feedback so that I can improve it. I'd really like to see this fixed.

Yeah, sorry for the humorless response. Your comment touched a nerve because I feel a certain amount of pressure to advance quickly, given how late I've left joining in the fun (both Bitcointalk and Bitcoin itself).

Don't take it too seriously, I think you have a good chance, like n0nce did right before he became Sr. Member.

How's that lol-worthy? I mean, DarkStar_ announces openings rarely, so by the time I apply, I'll (probably) have made up the missing 16 activity, no?

That's part of the reason I have my convenient service, and as this sample shows, horizontal scrolling isn't needed. (dislaimer: there may be a problem with very wide images without width-tags, but that barely happens)

Of course, a real fix is much better. Even without managing a campaign I often check someone's post history (including my own) to find back a post.
