Oooh, they finally rolled out the new new thumbs everywhere? Hallelujah β it was about time!
(Sorry, couldn't resist.) Anyway, i had updated this style back in june, so it should cover it. Be sure you have version 0.8 installed. (When in doubt, remove it and install it again.) If you're still having troubles, please tell me your browser and link me a few pages where it's messed up.

My browser is Mozilla Firefox Version 51.0b13 (yes i have a beta version it's not different from the regular version)
i do currently have the 0.8 version of the script, i did reinstalled it but that didn't do diddle.

here's the links to my gallery and favorites, i had to disable the script to those pages because it's causing my browser to freeze up and sometimes it crashes the browser.

Hmm. No problems on my end (Firefox 50) when i go to these pages. Granted, the small thumbs aren't as pretty as they used to be, but they are small. (Right?) I'm also confused why your browser would freeze or crash, since my style doesn't add anything to the page that wasn't already thereβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
the thumbs were smaller before the site updated and the freezing/crashing thing is the result of scrolling down the page then i get a pop-up message saying: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue."
Script: st.deviantart.net/roses/jsmin/β¦
so i usually stop the script but when i open the debugger that's when it crashes, and could be the fact i have a windows 7 operating system since November 2011.

I know that the thumbs were smaller before the update today, but i was referring to "my" smaller thumbs β the one that my style makes.
The script you're referring to is one of dA's own. I have no idea what it does, but it's likely related to loading in more thumbs and formatting them to fit nicely onto the page. Again, not related to my style, and nothing i can do to fix.

just my luck, i'll just have to find someone else with a small thumbnail script unless you're the only one.
look i'm stressed out i've been trying to find a way to fix it myself but DeviantART keeps messing it up and i'm not good at coding.

Do you have any tools for bringing back our personal literary tags, which are now being stripped away from even more of the site, including our own galleries?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm afraid not. Those tags are not present anymore within the new thumbs, so there's nothing for my style to "unhide". And a userstyle (what deviantTHUMB is) can't create them or import them from some other place. You'd have to ask a coder to write a userscript (notice the subtle difference), but i can't help you there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. It was worth a try, though I suppose that means we all now need to figure out a way to make literature pieces once again as visually distinct from each other at a glance as visual pieces, especially if it looks like they might completely strip away lit tags...
π: 0 β©: 1
True. I'm curious, how does dA handle images/thumbs that are on top of a literature piece? Do they show up on the lit thumb? (I have to admit, i'm not well versed within the lit community, and i hardly browse lit deviations.)
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not sure myself. Back when I first joined (2012), all you had to do was create an image that would fit into the little side tag (that you can still see on lit pieces in some places), and it just appeared there automatically. I suppose, even if someone found a way to re-code it back in there, it would only show up that way on one's own browser, not the rest of the internet a large. I think I might try experimenting with in-site posting options, because I would like to help other make themselves at-a-glance distinguishable again, just as visual art thumbnails are taken for granted for. If you come up with any other ideas, I'm all ears.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, that's not what i meant! If you look at this collection of mine (rotane.deviantart.com/favourit⦠) you see some pictures in the background. They are all embedded pictures inside the journal itself. I was wondering if something similar is going on with lit thumbs.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not with the vertical lit tags (which are still visible in some views), but what you've shown me (I've since figured out how to access that option from the editing screen) gave me the idea of adding my Tradewinds (and other logos) to the background as a "preview image" which puts it at the top of the piece in the old text view, or puts it underneath the text (just like in the journals you linked to) in the "new" view, so at least it looks like I can take back my at-a-glance distinctiveness, without resorting to styles or scripting. And, by its very nature, makes it visible to anyone else viewing the site without any styles.
Like so: shadesmaclean.deviantart.com/gβ¦
Thanks for the feedback, Rotane, it looks like you've helped me solve this problem.
π: 0 β©: 1
Excellent! I've learned something myself. Cheers
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem.
It seems, though, that through further experimentation, I've encountered a problem with the new view that I can't account for, and I was hoping you might have some insight into it. I've taken the initiative, adding preview images to sections of my galleries, but some of them don't seem to take. They show the preview image in the new view, but not in the old view:

Given how long it can take to get any useful answers out of da's own staff (assuming you get any useful answers at all) these days, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the matter.
π: 0 β©: 1
It seems like these are all lit pieces with mature content. Perhaps that's why they're hiding a preview image? Weird.
π: 0 β©: 1
That would appear to be the case. 
Thanks again for the second opinion. I'm not sure how long it would've taken me to figure that one out, given how few of my pieces really rate a "Mature" flag.

Must be a glitch in the Matrix.

Interesting, I might have to take a look at that.

Followed the link from Tanner28's journal, didn't think was even a real thing but holy crap it's for real!! THANKS SO MUCH

Yeah, he sent quite a few people this way.

OMG I wish I'd know about this way sooner than today! Thanks man

for making this and updating it so it works again! Super appreciate this!
π: 0 β©: 0
i do hope there is something you can do to make it better.. or at least less HUGE why does everything have to be so giant. even if you like it your self x'D it would be great to have something like how it use to be. if it is atleast possible.

I just released an update. It's not perfect, but it works well enough i think.

Heya Rotane,
First and foremost thank you so much for all the work you do with these script styles; they've made deviantART bearable for me (and I'm sure countless others) to use for the last couple of years, especially since their leadership seems devoted to ignoring what their users are practically screaming at them.
So I just woke up this morning to find that the idiots in charge of dA decided to screw with the website layout again (surprise, surprise); and was wondering if you had any plans to update this script style so as to fix their incompetency and make dA usable and aesthetically pleasing again.
Thanks again for everything you've done that the people that run this site refuse to even attempt.

I just released an update that supports the new thumbs grid. It's not perfect, but it works well enough i think.
π: 0 β©: 0
No plans yet, no. For one thing, since they are not yet active on my end for whatever reason (meaning personal Gallery and Favourites; only Browse and Search are new), but also that i kinda like the new look. And secondly, i have no idea how hard it's going to be to rewrite the new thumbs. I mean, if you look closely, you'll notice how each row is not the same height. That's because every thumb is scaled to fit into the row it sits in, to reduce the overal whitespace between the thumbs. It's a very clever and elegant system, i found, but i'm sure there's a lot of JavaScript involved, and that's (probably) not something i can change with just a userstyle. But we'll see.

I hope you'll at least take a good crack at it. I really appreciate these little styles you make for subborn old time users like me, and it would be awesome if you came thru for us once again.

Good enough for me. It still uses a lot of page bandwidth, but that is probably something neither of us have any control over.
It at least still gives the old look that I prefer, so I'm happy.
Thank you so much. C:

Yes, i can only scale the image down after they have been loaded. You'd have to get a script to do that, but Stylish alone can't change this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm, script as in Greasemonkey script, or some other 3rd party software/addon? I just might try researching how to do it myself, assuming it's no harder than writing your own Stylish or Greasemonkey script that is.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, a Greasemonkey script is what i meant.

Oh, forget about my last comment. Found the code again and added it once more and it's working again xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hello! I think it's been a while since it's like that, but I've just noticed that the mature deviations don't appear outlined with red anymore, at least for me. I think you had once given me a code to write in the style to make them appear again but I totally forgot what it was
π: 0 β©: 0
Not on my end. As always, be sure to update to the latest version (v0.7-1). If that doesn't work, uninstall and re-install the style. If that still doesn't work, please send me a screenshot of the page where it's off.

No worries, a link is fine
It looks to me as if the style simply isn't active. Be sure you don't have it disabled!
π: 0 β©: 1
No, its definitely enabled
