Help



I need some tips. How can I get them to both look similar and good? For testing PC I just turned my phone sideways...

I'm trying to get the title and the image to be similarly width proportioned.

Posting this here alone and more manageable.

How in blazes does one make an avatar slideshow, with a new avatar every time the page is refreshed?

If I were to do it then (given this forum's reliance upon an external image URL, anyway, rather than an uploaded-to-Bay12 one) I'd use a webspace that I own and control at the mod_alias level (or just otherwise lets me write a script-handler called with an apparent image extension, but runs as a script) such that I can use any trickery I want to randomly/sequentially/'interactively'-by-reading-HTTP-request-header-data-ly return something via a $cgi->header(-type=>"image/gif"); sort of configuration...

But if there aren't already resource-sites set up to provide such a server-service (with a minimum of effort on your part, just specify a pool for random or rotating or otherwise selection from), I'd be surprised.

My apologies, I have no idea what that meant. Well, I get the gist of it, that it works by connecting some other script, but i have no diea how to do such a thing.

This code:

Does this. Neat eh? Also the >< symbols work with bold and so on.

To me, it seems to just indent the text. Does it do anything else?  Is there supposed to be a border or something?

Maybe that's enough, but you'd really want enough sample text to demonstrate... whatever it is you're demonstrating.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce semper ipsum vel diam ullamcorper tristique quis vitae neque. Pellentesque porttitor tortor a sem venenatis, id molestie arcu porttitor. Quisque eu ipsum euismod, tristique mauris id, sodales orci. Vivamus vehicula mollis dolor, sed lobortis arcu. Aliquam eu lorem massa. Proin dapibus vulputate tortor, a tincidunt ligula bibendum vel. Suspendisse vestibulum malesuada est ut varius. Curabitur consectetur finibus nibh et blandit. Pellentesque ultrices lectus sed auctor faucibus. Quisque id nibh ipsum. Vestibulum iaculis sem nec scelerisque facilisis. Ut quis leo tortor. Aenean sit amet fermentum quam. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

Nam laoreet nisl vitae condimentum porttitor. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Suspendisse lobortis pellentesque tincidunt. Vestibulum imperdiet augue nec dapibus malesuada. Quisque eleifend, est suscipit vestibulum pretium, erat ex volutpat metus, vehicula luctus lorem sem eu elit. Sed a mauris pulvinar, fringilla sapien at, consectetur nisi. Donec ultricies, felis quis malesuada convallis, tortor nibh mattis velit, vel egestas sem lacus eget justo. Sed molestie ut tellus a hendrerit. Pellentesque efficitur mattis dapibus.


And it suggests that either HTML sanitising-to-&lt;-and-&gt; isn't used, or bold/italic (also <strong>strong</strong>/em? Only the em one, obviously) and blockquote are whitelisted as harmless format-only.

How are you supposed to get a list to indent if you've got sub items on one item?

How are you supposed to get a list to indent if you've got sub items on one item?
  • Do you mean
    • Like this
    • and this?

Code: [Select]
[list]
[li]Do you mean[/li]
[li][list type=decimal]
[li]Like this[/li]
[li]and this? [/li]
[/list][/li]
[/list]

  • Or
    • A
    • B
  • and
    • C
    • D

Code: [Select]
[list]
[li]Or[list]
[li]A[/li]
[li]B[/li]
[/list][/li]
[li]and[list]
[li]C[/li]
[li]D[/li]
[/list][/li]
[/list]

I didn't give it the (code-level) whitespace that it really deserved, in either case, but basically within a [li][/li] from one [list]...[/list] I put a further full[list](LIs)[/list], and it indents each time.

Interesting thing, also:
    Within List, Outside List-Item
    • List Item
    And more 'bare' text here.
    • List Item

Code: [Select]
[list]Within List, Outside List-Item
[li]List Item[/li]
And more 'bare' text here.
[li]List Item[/li]
[/list]

Compare with:
  • List Item
  • List Item
...with no 'unitemed' text. On my browser, it acts like a bulletless header List Item that then demands the browser further indent the 'simple' List Items to the next level (of indent, and bullet/number style), or negates the type specification. But I'm not sure it'll behave the same on all browsers.

  • Decimal item
    • Decimal subitem
    • Decimal subitem
  • Decimal item
      Bare non-item within decimal list within item
    • 'Decimal' subitem
    • 'Decimal' subitem

Code: [Select]
[list type=decimal]
[li]Decimal item[list type=decimal]
[li]Decimal subitem[/li]
[li]Decimal subitem[/li]
[/list][/li]
[li]Decimal item[list type=decimal]Bare non-item within decimal list within item
[li]'Decimal' subitem[/li]
[li]'Decimal' subitem[/li]
[/list][/li]
[/list]

A lot of fonts work. I tested Rodchenko and Wide Latin.

By which you mean that the BBCode doesn't stop you trying things that your system may or may not be able to honour?

Test 1 ('courier', standard)
Test 2 ('sanserif', parsably vague?)
Test 3 ('wingdings', not on my tablet?)
Test 4 ('unobtanium', probably not a thing)

Edit: For me only the first does anything obvious (second may just be 'normal'  I realised...)
Source (with linefeeds restored in place of BR/ tags, for readability)::
Code: [Select]
<span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font">Test 1 (&#039;courier&#039;, standard)</span>
<span style="font-family: sanserif;" class="bbc_font">Test 2 (&#039;sanserif&#039;, parsably vague?)</span>
<span style="font-family: wingdings;" class="bbc_font">Test 3 (&#039;wingdings&#039;, not on my tablet?)</span>
><span style="font-family: unobtanium;" class="bbc_font">Test 4 (&#039;unobtanium&#039;, probably not a thing)</span>

Edit2: I have no idea where this OS stores/manages/lists its fonts, I realise just now. Going hunting....

The third is wingdings on my laptop. Most phones do not support most fonts.

I only see courier, and I'm on Windows 7. I definitely have the Wingdings font on my computer. It's probably something to do with Firefox.
