ATTN: Mira - Main site not aligned?

Post by Halaster Blackcloak »

Jared just noticed that the main site is aligned to the left of the screen, not the center. I noticed that also, once I got my widescreen monitor with the new computer.

Mira, is there any way to figure out why it's doing that?

Also, Mira, can you do the code for the links from the mainpage so that when someone clicks "Downloads" they can download the various projects we have?

I still gotta do a links page and the FAQ. Most of that is written, we just need to load it up.

It's been that way for a while, remember it was discussed a while back? And a way to make it work right was done (not by me) but nothing was done about it. Go back and look at the thread about the main front page :)

The code for it to link to a links page is already in there, just need to create that page. Same for the other pages. I can throw something together for the downloads if you want, but it really is pretty simple coding :) Probably should take the images used for the Tome of Monsters and build on that as far as the background?

Mira, I looked back at that thread, and Unther posted a link to this site (not sure what it is...an archive site?):

http://robbieab.com/bip/bip.html

It's centered there, using both IE7 and Firefox. But the actual main site:

http://www.undermountain.org/bip.html

is aligned to the left. I didn't see the solution posted in that thread though. So how do we fix it?

Also, the linked pages (FAQ, Downloads, Links) should use the same background and banner as the main page.

For the downloads page, I figured we'd have a small/medium pic of the cover of each download (Caves of Sydwall, RuOIII, etc) and next to it some info about it (edition, size of download, number of pages, suggested PC levels, etc). You'd just click on a "Download" link written under the pic.

I can send you the FAQ, the list of linked sites (with blurbs for each), and the downloads we already have online, we just need to put the links up. LMK if there's anything else you need. Thanks Mira! :wink:

What we do to fix it is save the code from Unther's page and replace the main page with that code :) He figured out how to center it, we just have to copy that code (from View Page Source) and point the pictures and links to the right places. I can do that with the rest of the stuff. I assume you'll get the images you want used in an email? Or should I just grab what I can from the existing pages?

I have sent you an update with what I could find, it should flesh out the rest of the site, even if there are no links on the links page yet.
