Trying to induce vertigo while reading TDWTF
-
Is there any way we can tilt page content more counter-clockwise? I would like my eyes shooting up and to the right more intensely when I read stuff.
-
@Frank I think this is the 4th or 5th thread about the CSS now… Relax guys.
-
Its ok...just amusing problem, never seen an entire page tilt. NodeBB must have some insane CSS styling. Could be a real pain tracking things down without borking something else.
-
@Frank The entire page actually doesn't tilt, because that was making long pages creep off the side of the window. Each post is tilted, so as you scroll down they don't creep further and further to one direction.
The CSS looks like this:

It's not a bug, it's a first of April feature.

Pretty sure
*{ transform: rotate(0deg); }
Would tilt the entire website, be super easy to track and is not even all that insane ;P
Filed Under: You could probably also replace * with body
-
@Kuro that (if the rotation value is not
0deg
) will cause the rotation amount to be compounded on every element, so the more deeply something is nested in the DOM, the more it gets rotated. E.g. replacing the current rule, which only applies to certain elements, with one that applies to everything:* { transform:rotate(-1deg); transform-origin:top }
results in this:
-
body{ transform: rotate(1deg); } body *{ transform: rotate(0deg); }
Filed Under: Would that work to simply tilt the whole website?
-
@Kuro yes, but you don't need the
body *
rule. Thetransform
style isn't inherited and the default value isnone
.

@anotherusername Ah, okay. I get it.
Filed Under: thanks

Ok found it...all I am going to say is that you guys are rotten....That was just evil enough to bother me all day but not so evil as to trigger mass emailing of malware. Just short of that. In fact, between phishing and malware. Somewhere between those two. Well....less than both of those.
-
@anotherusername That's better!!!!

Hah, the amusing part of all this is that some of you actually thought this was a NodeBB thing
I don't know what that says about a) you guys, or b) our software...

We're used to Discourse where blaming the software is a safe bet.

Feature Request: Add the ability to tilt the post area

@julianlam I was....
(A.) not even thinking about April 1 jokes. and (you guys really got me there)
(B.) got concerned about WTDWTF "talent" against your CSS templates.See before, in the long, long ago (the before time) of Discourse, you would pick up the phone and dial 1-800-fix-css-stuff-on-the-forum, and this guy eating a donut named 'awesomerobot' would answer, show up the next day in a Discourse van, open the Discourse furnace door in @PJH 's basement, pull out a bunch forum CSS parts, say, ah-ha!, do some additional magic, sprinkle in some difficult-head-scratch-technical munbo-jumbo and sticker shock you with an $800 bill (plus time and parts). But he was a Discourse Employee not a ben lubar and you know how those guys are.
@ben_lubar IS 'adequately skilled' and I trust he knows what he is doing better than half time by getting it right twice a day. That's 5/3rds better than most.

furnace door in @PJH 's basement,
I don't have a furnace. Or, in reality, a basement.
I'll reserve comment on CSS parts however...
