in We do pay for this... November 2009

For what it's worth, I've noticed some serious load time issues on here from time to time, including this past Sunday. I've tested, and they are sight specific, and browser independent. Typically, when this happens, around four out of five times I a…

in Private tags? November 2009

The upper case lower case thing with tags is something I noticed when I started using them as well, but I wasn't able to pin down the pattern of what's causing it. Some tags - usually common seeming tag words - change capitalization from what you en…

in Incorrectly Parsed Span Tags November 2009

Thanks Ryan. This was with the Textile editor - I haven't played with the WYSIWYG editor at all.

in Incorrectly Parsed Span Tags November 2009

It would appear that in some situations _span_ HTML tags are being handled incorrectly by the wiki system when included in the text of a page. Specifically, when followed by a line break they are enclosed in _p_ tags, with the closing _p_ tag at the…

in available fonts? November 2009

If you want to do the whole page, use a _div_ instead of a _span_. Upon investigation, it seems that _span_ tags are being parsed as regular text by the wiki system, and so if they are followed by a line break, they will be enclosed in a _p_ (par…

in Help with HTML Tables October 2009

To center the table in the space, give the table tag the _margin-left:auto_ and _margin-right:auto_ styles. For older versions of internet explorer, you may also need to enclose the table in a _div_ tag with _width:100%_ and _text-align:center_, but…

in Collapsible Sections October 2009 edited December 2009

For organizing pages, it can be handy to have sections within a page that can be collapsed down to just their headline, and re-expanded without actually leaving the page. This type of functionality is also commonly used on forums for creating spoile…

in Self Sorting Tables October 2009 edited December 2009

I'd like the ability to have tables where the user can click the column headers to sort the table by each column. While this may sound complex, it's actually pretty simple to accomplish using a little Java Script. "This example":http://omnichron.…

in Question - Breaking up the Adventure Log October 2009

Your campaign isn't public, so I can't check to see if any of these is your issue, but here are few possibilities that come to mind right off: * You can only use the special tag in adventure log entries, not wiki pages * It will not work correct…

in Reverse order for posts in forums. October 2009

I just wanted to chime in and say I hope you plan to make this optional. For regular discussion threads I've always found the traditional, chronological order better. Ideally, this would be an account option people could select, since I know some pr…

in Help with HTML Tables October 2009

That's looking good Thep. Glad I could lend a hand. Now, for your questions. There isn't currently a way to auto-scroll the edit field to the corresponding line. It's not technically impossible, at least in the web at large, but it would require …

in Help with HTML Tables October 2009

I tested it out last night, and it worked fine for me. It required both _border-style:solid_ and _border-width:1px_ to get it to work though. You may also need to set _border-color:#000_ in some cases, although it didn't seem to be required from wha…

in Help with HTML Tables October 2009

The reason you're not seeing borders on your tables any more is because they changed the default CSS styling for tables to have a border width of zero. Try adding _border-width:1px;_ to your styling, along with the _border-style_ setting, and you sh…

in Plain Text Block Code? September 2009

It's nice if you post the answers for others who may have the same question. To wit: the _pre_ tag is what you want. It will preserve all the spacing, code, and so forth.

in not 100% sure if this is the right forum... September 2009

They are set up with the float:right css property by default, and I don't think there's a way to change it as such. The best bet would be to wrap them in an HTML element - a _div_ seems to work best - and apply whatever floating behavior you want (l…

in Global CSS, Please August 2009

Considering we can inline style as much as we like, doing custom classes just as you described in your original post seems totally reasonable to me. It would be trivial to cross check the class names against the sites style sheets, but in my opinion…

in Global CSS, Please August 2009

Custom themes as discussed in that linked thread sound cool too, but I don't think that's quite the same as what's being talked about here. At least, what I'd like to be able to do is set up a few custom CSS classes for use in the HTML tags I write …

in Global CSS, Please August 2009

I'd love this too. I think I remember seeing someone mention the idea before as if it had been talked about, but I don't remember where. Regardless, this would be a huge help.

in Is there a way to set an image as the background? July 2009

Whenever you're working within the framework of an existing site, you're going to have to make some allowances for the formatting that the site itself uses. They have to use the same techniques to create that framework, after all. CSS is designed wi…

Thanks ZonbiChou. I'm more or less fully converted to 4th at this point, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a 3.5 version of these tools. If I end up playing in or running another 3.5 game you might see something, but I don't have any plans to at the …
