Check out forum #114687. There's a CSS setting that "disables" embedded notes.

Would love a way to disable this feature, I don't really like it.

2015-05-03T23:04:14-04:00

I just happened across a picture with an embedded note for the first time, and promptly went looking through the Settings section of My Account for an option to disable them completely. Unfortunately, there still doesn't seem to be such an option.

Still, in any case, I support a user settings option to opt out of embedded notes entirely.

So, by default, users should see embedded notes on post that have it activated, and wouldn't otherwise.

Users who opt out wouldn't see embedded notes at all.

This.

Just want to chime in supporting this feature. I'd love to be able to read comics without hovering over every note individually.

As for the complaints regarding images being covered up, there's already built in functionality to easily hide notes. That would be enough for me, but maybe the functionality could be expanded to include embedded notes as a 3rd state.

I agree with this, I find the notes to be more distracting, and somewhat disruptive to the composition of the image at times.

Nice functional feature overall though.

2015-03-10T12:28:32-04:00

I find this feature pretty great and it helps me with reading through pages too. But really though, as one of the translators, I do not think it is a good idea to keep them embed on comic pages. Although it might make things hard for people who are using smartphones but with the notes in embed mode, without some flaws in grammar, I don't think I, and many other translators would check the original text when it's blocked from view. And so, it will cause not so accurate notes unfixed for a long time which leads to, well, no trouble to anyone, but to me, as a translator of Danbooru, I find it hard to accept.

And so, I suggest that rather than having its toogle in page's options, letting it be user's option could do a little better.

Discovered another limitation of the embedded notes in their current state: leading. In an echo of one of the snags occurring at the inception of Danbooru 2.0, text leading/line spacing appears to be fixed within a certain range. So when one uses text over a certain size in multiple lines, the letters eventually overlap. The effect is exaggerated when one uses a background color effect for text over a certain size, as the background color on one line will cover up low-hanging portions of letters on a higher line, even if the letters themselves aren't large enough to overlap directly. (Rollover text display still looks fine, of course.)

I discovered this while fancying up the text effects on post #798607 (which was originally translated long before I knew background color was even possible in translation notes), so please refer there to see what I mean.

Also, the default text centering of the embedded notes generally looks nice, but I suppose it means we'll have to insert a left-alignment tag where necessary. Well, it's a trade-off.

You could try using a div or p instead of a span and see if that works any better.

I'd say this feature will be well placed on pages with "horizontal" languages (for example latin, cyrilic, arabic families and korean after quick research). Just saying they have higher chance to fit and I suggest to use these pictures as main test subjects. But in other hand we have loads and loads of "vertical" writing because this site is mainly contain manga/anime style pictures, mostly japanese. I join in opinion that this feature have to be switchable via user settings.

Suggesting something advanced: automatically enable "embedded notes" via implication by tags of corresponding languages.
Example:
If tag "finnish", "russian", "french" or other "horizontal" - use "embedded note".
It tag "chinese", "vertical" or have no language tag - don't use "embedded note".
Also it'd be not bad of having in settings three options - "don't use", "use on specific language tags", "use wherever possible".

1) It's possible to have more than one language tag. More commonly it's possible to have another language tag co-occurring with Japanese (which is untagged by default). See post #1641141.

Language tags are not mutually exclusive.

2) Even in the case of images with only one language, embedded note boxes can still mess up the images, especially if it's a sound effect or background text. See post #1869434 for a potential example of the latter.

Embedded notes should not be automated.

Still, in any case, I support a user settings option to opt out of embedded notes entirely.

So, by default, users should see embedded notes on post that have it activated, and wouldn't otherwise.

Users who opt out wouldn't see embedded notes at all.

Now everyone's happy.

(Well, except for the programmer who'd have to program an additional 'feature').

If there are specific posts where the formatting is problematic let me know. This will never be a global setting because this style of display isn't suitable for some images. But for others it's very convenient (as long as the notes are styled with the constraints in mind).

Can't see them - not a builder - but as someone that does a lot of reading via mobile I'll second the notion that this is an awesome feature to have, assuming you get the kinks worked out.
