You need to put things onto separate pages. I'll do a few for you so you can see how it works. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM  Pages? Are you saying that each section needs to be on a seperate page by itself. If so how do you make a new page. You can either click on the red links throughout your page which will take you to the new page to copy the code to, or type User:DavidAHare/Page Name into the search box. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM  There are a few things which you do not need to copy to any other pages... things like Template:AHplayer and Template:EnhancementBar and Template:Inventory. These are all used by putting {{templateName}} in the code. The instructions how to use them are on those specific pages. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM  Layout Issues I am trying to track down the problem with your main page. I've gone through all your welcome page stuff, so that leaves all the tabs and your sig to check for errors. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM  Information I Copied From User_talk:Belgrave Page That I wanted a Reference to Take a deep breath, relax, and read #2 and #3 of Belgrave's Basic Words of Wiki Wisdom. I know there have been some things on here which took me forever to figure out how to do, especially Template:ItemBox. I think I spent 2 months before I figured out a way to make that look the way it looks now. You are still a guild founder whether you started the guild or if you were promoted to that position. The notice on my page was actually inspired by what someone else had in their player bio. I basically took that and made my own changes to it. The other things on the side were copied from somewhere else on the wiki, but I had initially written that too. Item images can all be found on the item image pages. I did make a number of changes on some of your pages while trying to figure out what was wrong with your main page, but those were inconsequential and didn't do anything. On the pages where the fixes were made, I did leave short comments to give some idea of what I did. You can also go into the page history to see the differences in the code side by side. — Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM  Information I want to keep on hand to remember. Sit back... find something else to do... contribute to other areas of the wiki. There are many pages that need updated. Immerse yourself in the code, see how it works, and try becoming an expert. The Helping Out page can offer you a place to get started. Also, use my help links. I'd be embarrassed if I counted how many times I still need to look things up!

About Your Test Page

Even you said it; the Preview button is your friend. You copied that straight off of Belgrave's tips, and you placed it in your profile. Use it, instead of making so many edits to a single page.

Testing of Pages in other Browsers

I would highly recommend you look at your pages and test them in Firefox if you aren't already. If you don't want to check it in Firefox, you may consider removing -moz-border-radius:15px; from all the code. It rounds the corners, but only in Firefox.

I am using the Opera Browser which is based on the the same program as Firefox. I am trying to setup a test page to test the code when I build something and some how I am screwing the code up. I copied copied the code from another page I have which is the same way I was trying to set up the page.

Opera does not show the rounded corners that Firefox does. I actually test my pages in Firefox, IE, and sometimes in Opera also. I've noticed on several occasions that some things will work the same in one or two of the browsers and different in the third and that it's not always the same two browsers all the time.

It is highly possible that you are not copying some essential part of the code. Break it up, see how the tables are nested, pay attention to the wikicode, use the 'Preview' button constantly. It's a very detailed layout (even for me) so it's going to take alot of effort to find the errors.

Right now what has me frustrated is that I have a 2nd red border around section B. I may have to stop and do as in your WIKI Tips section and just walk away from it and come back to it later. I will also test my profile out in the other Browsers also to see what difference if any will come up.

It is the next day after falling asleep in front of the computer. I found out where my extra red border line was coming from. Now I have to figure out why the top section shrunk after removing what I had in section b of my testing page. I am still trying to stay away from my profile since I am falling asleep as I type this little statement. I will talk to you later.

I now have a brown border along with the white that I set up myself. I still can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I am going to stop and go play away and do some other stuff.
