I've been busy


I've been doing all sorts of clear ups and clean ups today Lesa.
Take a look at Anything Goes and Political Forum. I'm quite pleased with what I've done with them. Anything Goes will get it's Christmas makeover after Thanksgiving, we thought it was a bit early to change to Christmas after Halloween.
And the political board needed a makeover, so we gave it a new look.
I've scrapped Fantasy Island and the Board Exchange, the one was too much bother for not much interest and the other was also a huge amount of work and not even the people who were slightly interested were interested enough for me to keep it up to date on a weekly basis. So I'm concentrating my efforts on Anything Goes and Political Forum and the other 4 boards are just sort of on the side.
All will be made over for the new year.
See what you think. Maybe I can move Political Forum's Header up a bit? I'm not too sure how to do that without making a mess so i left it that way, see what you think.

I like what you've done. emoticon

To move the header up, change these in your CSS:

#header { text-align: center; height: 428px; }

and

#header h1 {
  background-image:url(http://i28.tinypic.com/29dgrio.jpg);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  height: 428px;
  text-indent: -1000%;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 1px;
}


Since your banner is 242px tall and centered within the h1, a 428px height creates a 92px padding both above and below it.

Re: I've been busy


Lesa, if you don't mind I'd like to ask your help again.

On the League of Nations board, I've put a scrolling picture marquee in, it's working nicely but I have a conflict with the static notice line I want to put above it. There is HTML and CSS conflicting there, I've tried changing them but can't see how to link them to make the words above the scrolling pictures remain in the middle of the screen, like a breaking news header under the main header, by changing the CSS. I know the html has to have a <span> command but I'm a bit unsure about how to put it in. Sorry I sound a bit vague and confused even in trying to explain it, please have a look : /bnations is the board, and give me some advice. No rush, when you have a moment. Thanks so much.

To add to that, the scrolling marquee isn't exactly cutting in and out in the right positions either, and I have to lift the sidebar up a bit, I'll do that when I have the other two problems fixed.
Please if you don't mind some advice about the static notice above the scrolling pictures and then getting the in and out to fit the margins properly. Thanks Lesa, I appreciate the help.

I know the html has to have a <span> command but I'm a bit unsure about how to put it in.


<span> tags are inline elements, which don't give you the ability to center. What you need is a block-level element like <div> or <p>.

See: 7.5.3 Block-level and inline elements

Also, the <span> tag before "Your marquee will look like this" is written incorrectly. You need to add style= before your inline CSS:

<span style="font: bold 30px verdana; color: #f3DCA8">

I also don't see a </span> to close off that <span>.

I always try to stay away from inline CSS, giving it a class or ID instead, then defining it in the CSS area. Also, <center> tags are outdated, and should be replaced with CSS. For this reason, you might want to use <div> instead of <span>.

Edit: I just noticed a missing colon, which I added to this post. I'm a bit braindead after a long week, plus it's 1:34am here. emoticon

Not braindead enough to not be a brilliant teacher. It works perfectly now, I fixed the CSS and used that for it and it's right. I owe you a huge box of chocolates.
Thank you.

Re: I've been busy


You always do, now I have another request. If you look through these pictures http://www.runboard.com/bnations.f30.t197 (there are 100 of them but you can scroll through quite easily) and I'd really like Skokey to look at them too, please, Skokey, I want to use one of the first 100 as a new background. You two are so clever with these designs that your suggestions will help me to avoid testing those that won't work, please look through the pics, and you can just reply here, tell me which of those would make a really great background pic for a new makeover.
I want to test as many as I think will work and then give the members the option to choose from 5 layouts I'll present to them. So it will be fun to look at what the final layout looks like and I might call on the two of you for help and advice while I'm testing, if you don't mind of course.
Thanks Lesa, and Skokey, I really regard your opinions very highly.

I chose a preliminary list of 18, and will narrow that down further after testing them out. There are a lot of beautiful pictures there, but I bypassed some of the more beautiful ones for some that might tile a little better and allow people to read the text in front of them.
