Hide "How to ask" and "How to format" boxes when zoomed

[ooker777]

I zoom Stack Exchange to 133% to make the font size easier for the eyes. Two things happen:

• Every site has to be zoomed manually because the URL is different
• The "How to ask" and "How to format" popup become more distracting

Using uBlock doesn't work on every site :(. See https://github.com/soscripted/sox/issues/315#issuecomment-392529667

^{FYI: What display size and resolution is good for reading PDF in double page view?}

@ooker777 glad to see SOX is working for you again!

Please could you just clarify what you'd like to be added? Is it removing the 'how to ask' box? :)

[ooker777]

@shu8 Removing those box, yes. It doesn't consume much screen estate in normal zoom I guess, but in zoom mode it is.

PS: at the end of the day I remove Violentmonkey :P PS2: I insist you to put a donation box. I can't give much, but I insist :D

@ooker777 Shouldn't be too hard to do! I'll get it done as soon as possible, though it may not be till next weekend!

Thanks for the offer, maybe sometime in the future I'll add one 😛

[ooker777]

can't believe that it's approved that quick! Thanks.

But if you do this, I think you should remove the welcome back message as well

[shu8]

@ooker777 I'll try getting that done too :)

@ooker777 I'm just looking into this now, and I can't see this popup appear when I try to write a new question on a new site! Does it still appear for you?

[ooker777]

Yes it does. I've added this filter

academia.stackexchange.com##.md\:d-block.d-none.z-active.mxn4.t32.b64.ps-sticky.ps-relative.h0 > .c-pointer.ai-center.jc-space-between.grid.pl16.m-auto.wmx4.bs-sm.bar-sm.bc-black-4.ba.bg-yellow-100.js-help-pointer

to uBlock but it doesn't disappear.

Together with your unablity to see the welcome back banner, would it be possible that something happens in your computer?

[shu8]

Does the box always show up whenever you ask a question? I tried doing it on a site I'm not registered on but it didn't appear :/

Yes :(

[shu8]

Ah! I just tried zooming in to 150% and it worked! I see it now! I'll try getting this done on the weekend :)

[shu8]

@ooker777 done in dev 2.3.14 :)

[ooker777]

can you make it to the "How to format" and "How to tag" boxes too?

[shu8]

@ooker777 sorry, completely missed your comment! Done in dev 2.3.17 :)

[ooker777]

Ugh, the title and tag boxes are still there

[shu8]

@ooker777 do you mind screenshotting them for me? I can't reproduce it :/

[ooker777]

The bug doesn't seem to be stable. Sometimes the boxes all disappear, sometimes not. For example, I got this one time on Arqade Meta, but revisiting it make it disappear.

It must be a heisenbug 😱

[ooker777]

hello. So... there is no way to solve this?
