Is Stylus a thing for Firefox? The bright theme on a browser really stings. I'm spoiled on Ye Olde.

Yes.

Says it also requests access to website data and such. Is it legit?

I don't know? Suriko recommended people switch to it in the post he made above in Nov of 2017. It's currently being touted as a safe alternative to Stylish. I'm not a developer so I can't speak with authority about it but damn near every add-on you install gives that warning. So you have to decide for yourself if you want to trust it or not.

übergeek · July 2018

Stylus is safe, the Stylish guy had added some adware ad tracking stuff to the addon, so the community wrote Stylus. I've been using it with no problems or any odd web activity.

Tamin · July 2018

I ended up glancing through the how-to on extensions and just tossed two tutorials together to get something more or less functional without needing to worry about any third parties.

I didn't really need a general solution to begin with, so this works for me. Well, mostly works. There's this short gap between the page loading and the css being applied which is a bit annoying. I don't know much about web development, so I'm not sure how to fix that

my manifest file, if anyone cares:

{
	"manifest_version": 2,

	"name": "ye olde style",
	"permissions": ["tabs", "http://forums.penny-arcade.com/*"],
	"description": "test",
	"version": "1.0",

	"content_scripts": [ 
	{ 
		"matches": ["https://forums.penny-arcade.com/*"],
		"js": ["background.js"] 
	}
	]
	
}

background.js comes from the 'install style as userscript' button on the stylish site; I've just renamed things to fit better with the tutorial.

So I don't know what's going on but this no longer works for me in Chrome. Also, is Stylish no longer available for Chrome?

Edit: Looks like it was pulled a while back. Strange that it was working for me up until today...

Like the article says and was mentioned upthread I think just get Stylus instead.

Cool, wasn't actually sure if it would work.

MegaMan001 · July 2018

Had a similar issue and was very happy to see this thread is still going.

@Suriko, you're doing the Lord's work over there. Good God does this forum look terrible without Ye Olde Style.

Mill · July 2018

wish the regular boards settings allowed us to pick a color format that wasn't so bright.

Spoit · August 2018

Is anyone else getting a huge gray box to the right of tweets after this recent fix?

Updated, should be fixed now.

Spoit · August 2018

Yup that fixed it. You're the best Suriko

Fallout2man · September 2018

Don't know if this has been reported yet. Using FF developer edition.

On posts with a large enough amount of agree/awesome count the icons go up and over the post, covering the bottom of it and making certain content unreadable.

Check out The Rules post (https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/165388/the-rules#latest), scroll to the bottom, and then try switching the style on and off to see the difference. The last two paragraphs are obscured by all the agree/awesome icons.

Thanks in advance for addressing this.

Xeddicus · September 2018

Yeah, I get that. Have for a long time. Kludged together my own bit of code to remove them.

Suriko · September 2018

Updated with a slightly cludgy quick fix. Reaction icons are now a single line.

Kane Red Robe · September 2018

Is there an extension that works with Microsoft Edge? We "upgraded" at work and I am being seared,

Spoit · September 2018

It's super minor to the point where I'd say to not even bother fixing it, but the fall theme broke the PA logo in the top left corner

Phyphor · September 2018

It's also broken without ye olde so might as well wait for them to fix the main site first

MegaMan001 · March 2020

Anyone else noticed that post text has turned into a different font? I don't know font names so I couldn't tell you what it's changed to, but its different.

Super helpful report!

Reynolds · March 2020

It's happening on the regular style as well.

Looking at the CSS in Chrome Developer Tools there is now a

body.Vanilla .userContent {
font-size: 14px;
}

that is setting the font size to 14. If I disable it goes back to size 13 font which it was using before.

Suriko · March 2020

Updated to change back the font sizing, thanks for the heads-up.

MegaMan001 · March 2020

Hell yes, @Suriko. You are doing God's work over there, thank you.

Zilla360 · March 2020

@Suriko You are amazing. Now my signature is less broken*! Thanks.

*I really should get around to updating it, but, meh.

Raiden333 · August 2020

Is it just me, or did the style stop working this morning, and the page to redownload it no longer open? Get a 504 error.

edit: Nevermind, page finally loaded, guess I just had to reinstall it.

Reynolds · October 2020

I guess this wouldn't fix the root problem, but maybe changing this would at least bring the logo back for people using this style?

Monkey Ball Warrior · October 2020

Would it be possible to get this hosted on github or something, given the userstyles seems to have shut down?

Also thanks for doing this over the years! Still prefer it.

Monkey Ball Warrior · November 2020

Well its still down. I've posted the one I have to gist, not sure how old it is, seems to work okay.

ye olde style

Edit: Actually userstyles does seem to be back up, just very slow. So this can just be a backup copy in case it goes down again.

Reynolds · May 2022

Stylus itself seems to be broken? Ye Olde disappeared and reinstalling it or Stylus does nothing.

Noticed this too. It was working earlier but now isn't. Either there was an update for the forum or Stylus broke.

Edit: Looks like Stylus just updated today so something with the update may have broke the style.

Reynolds · June 2022

I recently installed one other style for another site, and it's also vanished. I can't seem to add either back.

Edit: And now suddenly I can add them and they save and work again. Hope it behaves from now on!

skeldare · June 2022

Looks like I had to go to this link to reinstall the sytle

zerzhul · June 2022

that link looked incredibly sketchy but I have gone there and verified it's just a github redirect, in case anyone is wondering

Ye Olde Style seems broken for the topic listing page but not threads now. Any ideas from people better versed in CSS?

Rehosted on the new styles site, updated to fix the forum bug where the address displays after a Youtube embed.

Xaquin · February 22

I feel super dumb, but how do I make this work? It claims to be installed but doesn't seem to do anything

win10 latest firefox if it matters

You've got the Stylus extension installed?
