Can you make any of the following changes to how the note box works? See http://hypno.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=585 for an example of why these questions are relevant.

1. Make it so that it can go fully flush with the left margin of a picture instead of being scooched to the right some?

2. Make it so that the box can be made as narrow as 3 pixels if someone so chooses?

3. Make it so that a keyboard shortcut would permit saving rather than having to click on the Save button?

4. MAKE IT SO THAT THE TRANSLATION BOX (when you go to make an edit) CAN BE DRAGGED AROUND INSTEAD OF AUTO-SPAWNING TO ONE THREE OR FOUR FIXED POSITIONS AS IT CURRENTLY SEEMS TO DO?

#4 is the big request. It's pretty terrible that the note editing box cannot be dragged around. If one could do that, #3 wouldn't even be a problem.

This picture illustrates that sometimes you're not going to want to make one giant translation box for a picture but instead a whole bunch of tiny slivers. The reason being you want to offer to people what each individual sentence fragment says rather than presenting the very (VERY) broken speech bubble as one solid paragraph.

One thing you might not be able to appreciate at first is that the second-to-last speech box is completely overlapped by the third-to-last and the final speech boxes. The only way to hover over the second to last one is to hover from the very bottom of the bubble (where you see the stair steps). But most people won't instinctively do that. Instead they'll hover over the text directly. This is why I mentioned Change Request #2. Because right now the minimum width for these notes is somewhat fat.

1: Nothing that I can see in the CSS is the obvious cause, which means something weird was done in the HTML files - those damned files we can't edit.

2: Same deal.

3: I'm not even sure how to do that one. o_O' But I can tell you it'd most definitely be part of, again, those HTML files.

4: I...yeah, wow. That IS annoying. Unfortunately, if I change this, it messes with the margins of a TON of parts of the page. Just about every div's margins would be changed. It's just not worth fixing one thing and breaking a hundred others. However, while the edit box is open, you can just click somewhere on the pic to turn notes off to get them out of your way.

Oh, what I'd try to do if I had access to the FTP server...


Edit: No idea what you're talking about, Mindwipe! :P

...regarding that picture, couldn't you have used a single bigger box instead of multiple small ones?

Also, another thing: make the default text color black instead of this light gray that's ridiculously annoying to read on a whitish background.

We can't change the color of the note text. It uses the same text color as the pages, and making it black would mean you wouldn't be able to read forum posts or comments. We CAN (and HAVE, several times) changed the background color for notes to make them readable, but as I've said multiple times, the CSS just doesn't want to change (and STAY changed). See http://hypno.booru.org/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=35 for our latest rants on this.

Try clearing your cache and cookies (I just got the note background working again by deleting my hypnobooru cookies) and then hitting F5. No guarantees it'll work, but it's all we can do right now.
