I gotta say, this is a pain.  I have to contact each provider, hope they have a site, then register, then keep up with many different sites.
Over time, there will be fewer and fewer providers, eventually most of them will probably give up.  Especially the ones that created one or two fun apps.

For my part, I would be happy if all CSS were readable, as before, for reference even if not editable. The latest patch shows modified CSS and allows reverts of existing changes but unchanged CSS are still hidden and therefore, you can't use search.
It was so useful being able to search for something (even something as simple as a colour) and then quickly locate the code, copy it and then paste a modded version into custom CSS.

Thank you. 😀 Yes, I have everything I need.

Similar issue here. 2000 pages of failed (blocked) card transactions.

My issue is a little more sinister. The site was being used for 'card testing' by fraudsters. They were firing thousands of £1 payments from different credit card numbers through the Stripe integration (about 10 per second) using the Donation Goals system.
This killed the site completely and I had to mitigate via the host's CP, blocking the offending IPs being used by the bots.
They were doing this in order to discover which of the cards weren't blocked. Of the 48,000 odd transactions, only 31 were accepted but I still have 48,000 blocked transactions in my log.
I have been advised by Stripe to refund the 31 good transactions to prevent any disputes, but that means I'm still out-of-pocket for the fees. Thank goodness most of them didn't get through.
IMHO we desperately need something adding in as friction to prevent this. Either captcha or the means to exclude Guests from accessing the Donation Goals block and subsequent form fields.
Even the ability to exclude Cards as a payment option for Donation Goals and any other public facing products/services would be a step forward.

Good news.
This issue is being addressed in the next update (4.7.2). It will no longer be possible for non-members to Donate.

You could probably prevent this for purchases using Payments > Settings > Anti Fraud Rules.
Maybe set the value for the lower priced items and then a rule that rejects after one blocked payment. Another option would be to block payments from Guests altogether.

I have applied the patch and can now see the (allegedly) customised CSS. However, there is still no way to compare it with the standard version to see what might have changed. There is also no way to revert it.
I could go in and hack about in Designer mode, but if everyone is faced with doing that, this change might be counter productive in terms of support volumes?
I think my suggestion in the reply above might be the best solution for both yourselves and customers?

Not recently, but I have now no way of comparing the two versions to see what's going on and no way of reverting if something is amiss. That's a bit of a setback and more of a 'downdate' than an update.
I have always used the access to the standard CSS files to determine what code to modify (along with the syntax etc), before adding it to my custom CSS. I can't do that now, which is going to make any future additions to the custom CSS far more difficult for me to accomplish.

Oh my god, that may have been what was happening to me!!!!!
The same day, I had like 41 guests that did $1 charges. I just figured I got mentioned somewhere, never put them together!

I have created a ticket for you on this. Please check your email for any response, and add detail there of what the issue is

My Forum is quite image heavy, with members posting photos of their prop building progress. Given that most images only need to be viewed by others at a small scale, I use thumbnails within posts. If anyone needs more detail, they can expand the thumbnail into lightbox, but generally, having thumbnails keeps everything tidy, preventing image heavy posts from taking up acres of space.
However, there has been one thorn in my side for at least the last six years... the fact that if photos are attached but not manually placed (by the poster), they are positioned by default in a vertical column, which takes up space and looks really untidy...

I then have to edit the post and remove all the returns to get the thumbnails to display in a (more pleasing and) compact row...

As you can see, rows take up much less space and are far easier on the eye.
Would it be possible, at some point, to add in an option to choose how thumbnails run, within a post? This would save me hours of editing.

@JohnDar
I think no extra options needed and they just should remove the <p> tag. That would cover the most extreme scenarios when a lot of images are uploaded and posts get very long. If a user wish to place them vertically then that could be done manually (like it is now to place them horizontally).

@Luuuk Thank you for that, very helpful. 🙂
However, given the current climate, where theme modifications are being actively discouraged and some editing features removed, I think an ACP based solution is still a valid proposition.
 

For reference, I found also this old topic and the same "solution" was given via Ticket:
 

@JohnDar
For years I use a workaround by editing a theme template:
core > global > editor > attachedImage > remove the <p> tag at the beginning and at the end:
<p><a href="/{$url}" ..... alt="{$title}"></a></p> EDIT: The change will apply to the new content only. Old posts still need to be manually edited.

Same issue here on 4.7.1.
Need to edit global.css to have the new search features displaying properly.

Looking closer, it may have been the quicksearch template at fault, but this wasn't flagged up as requiring attention. 😞
 

I have just applied the latest update. It flagged two CSS files that were incompatible. Both were reverted before updating. However, once the update was applied, photo attachment thumbnails were missing. This indicated that there were other CSS files which needed attention and a check with the default theme confirmed this,(I couldn't see anything amiss in the templates).
However, there was no way of determining where the issues might be. The only CSS file available for me to edit was custom.css. No others were showing up as modified. I had absolutely no way of checking for other modified CSS, with a view to reverting them.
My only way out of this was to copy the default theme and then laboriously go through every tab, modifying the colours to match my customised theme. I then had to edit the resources and add in all my custom mods. I then had to add in the custom CSS from the broken theme.
This worked and I'm back up and running, but it's two hours of my life that I won't get back. Previously this type of fix would have taken me about two minutes.
Needless to say, I'm deeply unhappy with the removal of the edit feature and concerned about how some edits don't seem to have been picked up, leaving me with no way out other than a ground-up rebuild.
