Learn, share, and get recognized
I followed the recommendation in the doc-7311. I add the word content after the link. I click on discussions.
I am missing the original posters name and the last posters name. If the discussion has not been answered, and the original poster was also the last poster, I figure there is a good chance the original poster still has a question.
Is the best the 2014 forums can do?

Hello
Quite unfortunately that's all what we can get now. The "Latest activity" column is rather useless without the last poster's name and its time (and preferrably its message link) at a glance.
By the way, in Firefox, you can reveal the author's name in "Latest activity" column in the list view by defining a user css as follows because the necessary information is actually included in html source as a hidden element.
To do that, create a plain text file named userContent.css with the following content in chrome directory in your profile directory of Firefox. Create chrome directory if not present. E.g.,
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/XXXXXXXX.default/chrome/userContent.cssContent (CSS rule) in userContent.css:
/* fixes for Apple Support Communities board system introduced in 2014-06 (v 0.1) */
@-moz-document
domain(discussions.apple.com),
domain(discussionsjapan.apple.com),
domain(discussionskorea.apple.com)
{
/* show author name in 'Latest activity' column in detailed list view of threads in each community */
td.j-td-date > span { display : inherit !important; }
}A result page (after restarting Firefox):
As far as I can tell, there's no way to show the last poster's name in the "Latest activity" column in list view of threads whilst it is shown in a list view of communities such as in
https://discussions.apple.com/places?itemView=detail&sortKey=all~subjectAsc&sort Order=1&query=os+x
Those info are generated in server-side and there's nothing we mere client can do unless server provides them.
All the best,
Hiroto
PS. To my understanding, they (Jive or Apple I'm not sure) are forcing us to use Acivity Stream to see those vital information for helpers. However, I only login when I make post and logout immediately when done. In such use case, Activity Stream is useless because it requires me logged in for it to work whilst I need those information before I login.
Hello
Just minor update. I noticed I have to supply different ids for top page of Japanese and Korean ASCs. Solving a problem seems to bring another...
Anyway please replace the following section:
/* ------------------------------------------------
ASC TOP PAGE
*/
#jive-widgetframe-body_5780758 > .content-large { /* added parent id in v0.41 */
text-align: center !important;
overflow-x: auto !important;
overflow-y: hidden !important;
}
.apple-communities {
display: inline-block !important;
width: 1120px !important;
text-align: left !important;
}with this:
/* ------------------------------------------------
ASC TOP PAGE
*/
#jive-widgetframe-body_5780758 > .content-large, /* discussions.apple.com */
#jive-widgetframe-body_188974 > .content-large, /* discussionsjapan.apple.com */ /* added in v0.42 */
#jive-widgetframe-body_20835 > .content-large /* discussionskorea.apple.com */ /* added in v0.42 */
{ /* added parent id in v0.41 */
text-align: center !important;
overflow-x: auto !important;
overflow-y: hidden !important;
}
.apple-communities {
display: inline-block !important;
width: 1120px !important;
text-align: left !important;
}and the Japanese and Korean ASC top pages should be rendered correctly. I'd call this revision v0.42 but not post the entire code, for the changes are minimum.

Another good argument for making a user tip. You can update them as often as needed. 😉

Hello Robert,
If you're using Stylish (Firefox add-on), you can do every style management in Stylish without using userContent.css file.
Stylish uses its own sqlite3 database to store and manage user styles, which is located at (XXXXXXX is your current profile id):
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/XXXXXXX.default/stylish.sqlite
It appears that the rules in userContent.css, if any, are considered to be specified "after" the rules in Stylish database, which means, if you have a declaration of the same precedence (i.e., importance and specificity) in both userContent.css and Stylish database, the one in userContent.css wins.

Hello turingtest2,
Well, I'll have to be compiling it before turning this thread into a mess of updates... 😝

Am I missing something in the recommended list?
