Tumblr appearance is suddenly messed up as of yesterday. the scrollbox is suddenly far too big, i have to reduce screensize to 80% to see user icons. Turning this extension off fixes it, which is a pain as otherwise this extension is great. Edit. Panorama (new?) feature was automatically turned on which i had not done. Turning that off fixed the issue. EDIT 2 - I never had Panorama on ever. Also checked all the boxes and there were two i ALWAYS have on that were turned off- quick tags and quote replies. So either i have a digital poltergeist...or edit 3 - as id made a post on Tumblr about the change ive had a number of replies from other users who also had this issue, that say they never had Panorama turned on and found it as such.
