| It might just pop up in the back when I post this but anywho, my post BG though is PNG wont show up, I need to mod it to be dark enough or have a space for writins before I can see it?? I need to see how it works with my text but it wont show in the sample thing on the profile thing.
ALso how would I get a post BG that scrolls within the post like certain people? |

| This should probably go in the Help Forum, and uh.... I'm not quite sure what you're asking...
Link us to some examples, please. This your code? Edit: Trying to work out your code.. is this it? <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="100%" width="100%"> If so, it's... that is one strange URL.... EDIT: OKAY NO!! Please do NOT use: 
as a background!! That would be VERY VERY VERY BAD!! DO NOT DO IT.  Pick a better background picture. That will make your text unreadable. And btw, that's not a PNG, it's a JPG.(edited by Tarale on 07-13-06 11:29 PM) |

| Yeah i'll put another there if it's not sovled, but for now.
I wasnt going to use it unless I altered it to be darker. I was just trying to test it with the text but it wouldnt show. I'll use another pic and darken it up maddly, this one would be alright too if I darkened it maddly too right? But anyway I whanted to use another pic then that one anywho. |

| That's a bad image to use no matter what you do with it. Don't use it unless you're going to make a solid, non-transparent textbox to go over it. | |||

| The only way I'd consider using that picture is if it were aligned to the right or left and the text did not go over the top of it at any point. Even then you're likely to have a fairly lacklustre layout.
Text over the top of that... darker or lighter... is not going to really be a good look. Text over a patterned background of any description CAN work, but is much harder to make look GOOD or easily readable than solid colours. You likely want us to read what you have to say, so I recommend making it easier on us to do so. |

That what I was going to to. How do you match text with the box though? It's auto or somthing.
how bout that? If not I'll make my own then. (edited by BOBTHEVILA on 07-13-06 11:55 PM) |

Originally posted by BOBTHEVILA How do you mean "match" ? You mean the colours? Personally, I'd work with CSS. I'd assign a "background" div property which aligns that picture to the bottom right of that div. Then I'd create another div for your content, which is has margins that set it so it's not over your picture -- in that div's properties, you can assign border colours, thicknesses, etc, as well as the text's properties as well... Is this what you mean?? |

Originally posted by BOBTHEVILA CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. Think of all the times in HTML you've defined a font by using <font face= and such.... well, CSS does away with all that messy bullshit AND gives you far more control over things. You can do things in CSS that you can't do in HTML. Furthermore, you can make changes in your CSS and it can apply those changes to multiple documents at once (depending on how you've implemented it of course) See the CSS Zen Garden for examples of what can be accomplished with CSS -- not a HTML table in sight! My layout is also done in CSS. (edited by Tarale on 07-14-06 12:12 AM) (edited by Tarale on 07-14-06 12:12 AM) |

Perhaps the best way for me to explain this will be to demonstrate, so bear with me while I whip something up for you.
Okay, the following is exceedingly basic. This is the data you would need in order to use CSS to create a fairly basic layout. I have included the CSS as an embedded stylesheet. This is one of three ways to use CSS -- the others are inline (in the tags itself) or External (link to a whole file full of CSS). <style> This would create the effect as seen as my current (in this post) post layout (hopefully). There is some strangeness in the bottom of that image, but you get the general idea, I hope. And not a HTML table in sight.

| You'd have to resolve the apparent hotlinking issues first, but everything above "Your content goes here" is a header, and everything below "Your content goes here" goes in your footer.
I don't know how this putfile crap works, but apparently your image does the hotlinking thing. And get your own "empty.gif".  |

| Change the bits in red in order to resolve the hotlinking issue / have your own empty.gif
You are free to take a copy of my empty.gif, but I suggest not linking to mine in case I change it and then it will negatively affect your layout. Do NOT change anything else. Leave everything else EXACTLY as it is. Put THIS in your header: <style>#bobthevilabg {background: url(http://f10.putfile.com/main/7/19323524171.png); background-position: bottom right; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-color: #150000;} #bobthevilacontent {background-color: #000000; border: 2px solid #D66000; margin-right: 200px; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 0.8em; padding: 7px; } </style> <div id=bobthevilabg><img src=http://chibitaryn.net/temp/taralelayout/empty.gif> <div id=bobthevilacontent> Put THIS in your footer: </div><img src=http://chibitaryn.net/temp/taralelayout/empty.gif></div> Keep everything else as is. Failure to follow these instructions exactly WILL break things. (edited by Tarale on 07-14-06 01:03 AM) |

| I recommend you host your images on imageshack or photobucket or your own personal domain if you have one. Then you don't have the problem you just ran into. | |||

Originally posted by BOBTHEVILA No, it did not work. You need proper links for the pictures. Your layout currently looks like this You need to put proper image links in -- where I put the red stuff before -- like I TOLD YOU.  You need to do this so that what is shown in that picture does not happen.
What you see in the picture is a BROKEN IMAGE and a HOTLINKING IMAGE. Both are bad. Put in PROPER URL'S that don't do this. And ditch the header. It's stupid. Put the signature in just before that first </div> You make my brain hurt, honestly. I do not believe it is possible to be any clearer with my instructions, I'm sorry but there seems to be a fundamental communications issue that I am having with you, that I seem unable to resolve. |

| First off, you can't hotlink from Putfile, so your going to need to upload to Image Shack or Photobucket so that the image won't be broken. As for getting your signature into the layout, put it before the first <div> tag. Other than that it's all good. | |||
