Fix for captchas cutting off part of the askbox
users trying to send asks through a browser in incognito mode or who aren’t logged into Tumblr frequently encounter a captcha, which has to be ticked before the “send ask” button becomes available. however, the captcha often results in the top part of the askbox being cut off. after some poking around, it seems the problem is caused by some kind of interaction between nouvae’s video script, and the way Tumblr embeds the captcha iframe.
to stop the captchas from cutting the askbox off, copy and paste this into the CSS right above </style>:
iframe#ask_form {
position: relative !important;
height: auto !important;
min-height: 281px !important;
}
form#ask_form {min-height: 168px !important;}
form#ask_form.with_captcha {min-height: 259px !important;}note: on regular, non-captcha askboxes (aka the majority), this fix will cause the footer of the askbox to be too high. this additional height does not affect the functioning of the askbox, only the appearance. I’ve tried fixing this with CSS and scripts and I can’t figure it out, so please do not send me asks asking me to fix this if you use the above fix.
note: this also doesn’t apply to any issues with the captchas in askboxes embedded in custom pages. as far as I can tell, that’s a separate issue that’s on Tumblr’s end, since the video script doesn’t run on custom pages.
