The Coding Club

Also @UlyssesBlue the link in the first post needs updating to club.php rather than group.php. ;)

Thank you, Almárë! It worked. (:

Alright, I figured you lovely coders might be able to help me out, since I've been fiddling with different css all day and can't make it do what I want.  >.>  Note:  I'm only a basic coder, learning css slowly, so I'm sorry if any of this burns your eyes.  The sidebar stuff isn't supposed to be there, and I'll be sending it back into hiding now.  It's supposed to be flat gray with the darker gray box on it.

So, I'm trying to move .boxside (the tall and skinny box on my page) into the area that was once the sidebar, but no matter what code I put in, it seems to hate me.  It won't move out of the main page area no matter how many align:left, or position things I try.  >.>

Picture of code in question.

My page is pretty wonky because I'm trying to put the navigation links on the upper left above the little box as well.  I have like eighty other small questions that I'll probably ask, but this is just the main one that's messing up my layout.

I'm also taking offers on how to set up my boxes prettily, because I'm not sure if I'm enjoying my current four-of-the-same-size-boxes setup and would maybe like to try two big top ones and three taller on bottom or vice versa.

Nittrous - you may have already tried this, but have  you tried using absolute positioning and giving it a negative left value? I haven't actually tried to cover up any parts of the layout myself so I am not speaking from experience, just intuition. 

I did, it wouldn't work.  I'm just not sure why the box doesn't want to move out of the main section at all.  I know people have stuff there on layouts.

Try putting it in the actual div tag (example borrowed from Coffee Queen's code):

<*div style="width:212px; height:817px; position:absolute; left:-139px; top:619px;">

Figured it out with help from Elegant and Ulysses!  Apparently, from what I can gather at least, is that some parts of the code was being interpreted as BBC code, so I needed to view source to put it all in BBC, clear it out, and repaste the original code and all the issues I was having fixed themselves.

Okay where should I begin? I am not a total newbie to html, and I know a fair bit of it , just for some reasons layouts etc absolutely befuddle me.

So I joined hoping this would help me with designing a layout for my club but I can't seem to get it. Would anyone be willing to help me with designing a club layout for the Western Paint Horse Association? I will of course give credit where it's due.
I would like to include a picture of a paint horse with both color and pattern and have several on my account to choose from.
I also need a nice club badge. I can't afford to pay a lot but can pay at least something for your time and trouble.

I should add I have dyslexia so things get jumbled up

Hey! I've been working on my layout. I am good with HTML but I am still new to CSS so I could use some advices.

1. How do I change the EV green to different color on my page?
2. I've figured out how to change texts for side info and text boxes (omg, that one took me forever since a typical <*font*> change isn't working anymore...) but I couldn't change fonts for Account information and below... Do anyone know how?
3. How do I move that Manage link for bookmark? or add some border to width? I tried add border/padding/etc but it only expanded the height not the width so Manage was cut off little -.- it's not pretty...

Message me if you can help me with those three issues!

I am here to find someone who wants to make me a page layout! I will pay in EV or credits! Thank you 😊

Out of curiousity would anyone be able to help fix the coding on my user page? Its not showing up as it should, and yet when the coder uses the same coding on her page, the layout appears properly! We're both a bit frustrated about this since we cant work out why it wont on mine!

If you're using the exact same coding like a copy and paste from the other user's page check to see if you ahve automatic lines checkbox marked. I know the spaces sometimes can throw off codes. 

try to input the codes in "View Source" (ctrl+shift+s). Sometimes codes will go wacky if you don't use View Source.

Make sure to paste the code into the html editing bix - do this by clicking the little "paper" button above thr box on your member page.
