Get Everything Done

Works for me! In case someone doesn't know how to create a bookmarklet:

Create a bookmark, but before you save it, edit the name and url. The name can be anything like "fix markforster". Change the URL to the the entire code above starting with javascript and ending with () It's all one line.

When you're on a page on this site, just select that bookmark and it'll adjust the layout of the site.

Also, you have to click it for every page you load on the site so if you put the bookmark on the bookmarks bar for quick access, it'll make it a lot more useful because it's quicker to get to.

Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks!
Never heard of a "bookmarklet" before.

Got it to work in Safari on my phone. Open the page then press the bookmark.
Wish someone could work with Squarespace to really fix the site. There is so much good content built up over the years.

He posted as recently as Oct 3 in the forum, and Oct 5 is the first mention of the centering problem.

I asked Mark via email about it, he's well, and he will fix the site, but it's not a priority for him right now.

UmbrellaWeather: I added the code of your bookmarklet to the userscript, so people who use it can use the site normally without manual action after every page load:

Hope that's okay.

Andreas, that seems to have worked. Thankyou.

I've made Andreas's solution work on my laptop (Windows / Firefox), but I'm not quite there with my phone (Android 9 / Chrome 107).

* I've installed TamperMonkey for Android from the Chrome Store.
* I went to the site linked in Andreas's github instructions:

https://github.com/andreasmaurer/markforster.net-improvements-userscript/raw/master/markforster-net-improvements.user.js

* The script was displayed, but TamperMonkey didn't ask me to install it.
* I've tried copying and pasting the code into the box on the TamperMonkey page that appears when you click the menu instruction "Get new scripts ... "
* I've hit Run! but nothing happens.
* When I click on other menu commands, TamperMonkey says that no script is installed or running.

Can anyone give me any guidance?

Alan:

I updated my userscript, it now automatically updates all links that still have the old domain. It should update by itself, or you can update it manually by clicking its version number on the Tampermonkey dashboard.

Chris:

I don't have Android, but from what I gather, userscript support is in a bad state right now. Chrome hasn't been supporting Tampermonkey for a long time, Firefox used to work, but stopped doing so. There is a standalone Tampermonkey app on the Play Store, but that was always experimental and recent reviews indicate that it also stopped working with recent Android versions.

Your best bet might be trying out Dolphin Browser, apparently the Tampermonkey extension for that is still being maintained.

Actually, the latest reviews of the Tampermonkey Dolphin extension also say it stopped working with the new Android version. So there might be no solution for now.

Alan:

I didn't get the problem you described when editing this post with Stay on my iPhone. I'll look into it.

Heh, immediately got it after posting the last message. But different error message. I'll see what I can do.

I updated the script, hopefully that will fix the problem. I can only test it by writing posts here, so that is a little inconvenient.

I noticed that in Stay, you need to enable auto update with a toggle in the settings of the script. Current version is 2.0.7.

Website formatting is fixed for me now (on Safari). Not sure who to thank -- presumably some combination of Mark/Squarespace.

Yippee! Great to see the site back to normal - although I'd gotten quite used to the interim version. Thanks very much.

To bring you all up-to-date the website has now reverted to normal. I've been chasing Squarespace for a considerable amount of time and they have confessed themselves baffled up to now. It looks as if they have finally sorted out the problem.

Only one problem remains - I can't log in! That means that I can't write any blog posts until that is fixed as well.

Thanks again, Mark, for your efforts on this.

I've noticed that the description of the systems under the "TM Systems" tab shows the following when you open the links:

"Domain Not Claimed
This domain has been mapped to Squarespace, but it has not yet been claimed by a website. If this is your domain, claim it in the Domains tab of your Website Manager"

I know there's been some discussion of how to get round this, but hopefully Squarespace will get this fixed too, in the fullness of time.

Meanwhile, it's great to have the site back to normal.

Best wishes.

Andreas, thanks for your reply to me above, which I've only just seen. Everything seems fine now, with TamperMonkey disabled.

And it's great to see Mark back.
