@pimoore Thank you so much for updating Tufte so quickly! Aaaaand I have forgotten how to upgrade (again). I went to my Plug-ins page and see I have 1.1.2 installed but I'm not sure how to upgrade.

@cygnoir if you go into the plug-ins page it should have a notification on Tufte of the new version, and an upgrade button. FYI there was a bug on my test blog where I was at 1.2.0 and it told me a “new” version of 1.1.2 was available. I pinged Manton already so hopefully it’s a fluke.

@Pilchuck Yes there is, the repo is updated so there must be a delay or hang up in Micro.blog again. // @help

@pimoore The button showed up for me just now. Thanks!

@pimoore nice and still need to try out Hitchens.

I am doing my changes using the patented @pimoore approach … only on the iPad … and wondering … did you do something to the styling of the replies

Example .. text now running together and the icon of the person now centered ?

@JohnPhilpin @cygnoir Seeing this on my blog as well, and mine is my own custom repo which I didn’t change. I’m wondering if something’s been changed in the conversation html code.

@pimoore Wow! 🤩 Great work with the updates for both Tufte and Hitchens. Thanks for adding support for my plug-ins.

@sod You’re most welcome, thanks for making them available! I’ve considered setting up Reply by Email the same way, even though it’s hard coded right now. At least that way if someone didn’t want to use it they wouldn’t have to dig into the code to remove the element.

@pimoore Yeah, I like that idea a lot. In addition to making the feature optional, my plug-in has settings for link text and subject line. And, should I add features or fix bugs in the future, people can get them independently from which theme they are using.

@sod that’s a good point, I think I’ll set this up! That brings another question to mind: in my hard-coded version if there’s no title it pulls the name of the permalink to use for the subject line. This seems easier to identify the post as opposed to truncated text. Can the option be added to the plug-in for that?

@pimoore @JohnPhilpin I also see line separators between posts on my homepage. I don't remember those being there before.

@cygnoir @johnphilpin Yes, those were always there.

@pimoore @JohnPhilpin Sorry, Pete. I must still be recovering. 😵‍💫

@cygnoir @johnphilpin No worries, I’ve had trouble keeping track of all the changes myself lately as I’ve been fixing bugs between this and Hitchens. Good news is I have another update coming that fixes the conversation mis-alignment you mentioned.

@pimoore @JohnPhilpin Thank you for working on that so quickly. 😊

@pimoore awesome

@cygnoir pretty sureihad nothing to do with it …. Gets off podium so that @pimoore can take the gold, silver and bronze.

@pimoore I just noticed another image alignment change on any of my pages that have a bookshelf appended. Here is an example.

@cygnoir Ah yes, I had that fixed in Hitchens and forgot to port it over to Tufte, easily fixed.

@pimoore Cheers! I'm feeling like a bit of a nag. 😬 Would you prefer that I let you know in a different way?

@pimoore Yes, I've made the behavior configurable with two new settings. A combination like this mimics the behavior in Tufte:

Something weird is going on with the plug-in's new version number in the directory (I've reported this to @manton), but you should be able to install anyway and test this out.

@cygnoir it’s no problem at all, I’m happy to squash these bugs! 👍🏻 Here on MB is fine, or you could email me the issues as well; whatever works for you.

@sod @manton I saw this yesterday, and Manton clarified that there’s a delay before Micro.blog picks up the version changes, so in the meantime it advises regarding the version it “knows about”.

@pimoore is on this day part of Hitchens?

@JohnPhilpin I’ve built-in the styling and layout for the page if you choose to enable it, but it’s not part of the theme itself. Best reference I can give you is to my instructions in the README on the Hitchens repo over at GitHub.

@pimoore thanking

@pimoore @cleverdevil

Just wondering if there is a definitive list of the acceptable time zones I can use on the ‘on this day’ functionality … I have tried NZ, NZDT AND NZST .. to no avail.

@JohnPhilpin I had that trouble initially. Then @cleverdevil gave me this: micromemories.cleverdevil.io/js That works well with only rare oddities.

@Miraz Oops! ?tz=Pacific/Auckland

@Miraz many thanks … that worked perfectly.
