how to make AO3 cut off walls o' tags with a scrollbar
a tutorial i am definitely not posting for any particular reason in the year of our lord February 2021
1. go to your user dashboard > skins
2. create a site skin. enter whatever you want for the title and description. (i called mine Scroll Invasion because i like to think i am very funny.)
2a. if you are already using a site skin, copy its CSS and paste it into the CSS box of your new site skin.
3. paste the following into the CSS box:
h5.fandoms { max-height: 4em; overflow-y: auto; }
.blurb ul.tags { max-height: 8em; overflow-y: auto; padding: 0.375em; }
blockquote.summary { max-height: 16em; overflow-y: auto; padding: 0.375em; }
4. check that it's working! you might have to go back to your skins page and click "use" on the new one. you might also want to adjust the max-height values to taste, depending on how ruthless you want your cutoffs to be.
5. wave cheerfully at Sexy Times with Wangxian as you scroll on past
