There are a couple of tricks you missed.
  • First, always lead off with your Float tags, both left and right. If you follow that with a center aligned section, all three start on the top line.
  • Second, you can get by with only one set each of float tags and one set of Align tags. Duplicating either creates a mess, and center Aligns add an unnecessary blank line. It's better to stack all your left, all your right, and all your center content under one set of tags each.
  • Third, I always pair a Floatright tag with an Align Right tag. It just seems cleaner.
  • Fourth, I forced centering by carefully adding blank lines and a period in each of the float tags. Since it's all contained in a single tag, there's an invisible box that the center alignment uses to center that whole section. If you want to hide those dangling periods, you can add a color=white tag if you've got characters to spare. I don't know how that will play on Dark themed browsers.
  • Finally, Hippostania's deletion was justified. Give it up.

    How can I get the two spoilers to line up next to each other, both below the second line and above the "Join the arachnist movement!"?

    I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

    The simplest solution is just to move the spoilers to the bottom. They don't play well with others.

    I just got a TG from the mods suggesting that I take out the table in my sig. However, I feel that it offers me better formatting options than the floatleft/floatright and align tags. Can you give me any alternatives?

    Also, I noticed that Reppy's OP missed something I've been doing for at least a year on here, with regards to sig quotes, which is simply a link to a post containing all the quotes I like in the AQ thread. It allows me to save all the quotes, and doesn't add any extra lines to my sig.

    You're probably missing the possiblity of multiple float tags on a single line. Try this, for example:



    -Christian
    -Pansexual
    -Androgynous
    -Preferred pronoun set is they/them/their
    -In a relationship with Stattr
    -LGBT equality
    -racial equality
    -religious freedom
    -freedom of expression
    -2nd amendment
    -I firmly believe that the root cause of most, if not all of society's problems is a lack of empathy
    -Bigotry (in all its forms)
    -Oppression
    Economic Left/Right: -8.00
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.21
    Any respectful questions regarding my gender, sexual orientation,
    and/or religious views (found under "About Me") are welcome.

    Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to stop the right hand spoilers from visually bouncing over when clicked.

    My question is the little ASCII character (❧) I'm using to drop the middle section down so it visually "levels" the text contained between the spoiler boxes on each side so the text isn't riding "above" the spoiler boxes. Is there a way to add a blank/empty line without using a character or punctuation mark? (I believe "." was suggested earlier.)

    Also, are we allowed to use those symbols? I wanted to add a few more to make a pretty top border over the words but not if it means a newspaper slap.

    I know that on Windows there's an alt key that will insert an "invisible" character of sorts. I think it's alt+0173, but I can't test it on my iPod and I just shut down my laptop for the night. I think it'll work on your sig.

    Indi, you're a code goddess. It is indeed alt+0173. It looked terrible without a line of text.

    I'm so damn anal retentive. I'll think of some text to go there or add a few more symbols if those are allowed.

    Right now I am having problems with my giant rectangular box in my sig. How in the world do I shrink that or make the text look like the text above the box? (Allies, enemies, etc)

    Code: Select all
    [floatright][box][align=center][b]Def Con[/b]
    [color=red]1 2 3 4 [u]5[/u][/color]
    [color=#BF0000][b]At Peace[/b][/color][/align][/box][/floatright][align=center][b][color=blue]Allies:[/color][/b] [nation]Tipidemica[/nation], [nation]Trektopolis[/nation], [nation]Estononia[/nation], [nation]Disco Empire[/nation] || [b][color=#BF0000]Enemies:[/color][/b] None || [color=blue][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] [color=blue]Defender[/color][box][url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=63910]How to obtain a capital, leader, or religion[/url] -  [url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=95216]FAQs[/url] - [url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=help]Getting Help Request[/url] - [url=http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-1.50&soc=0.05]Political Compass[/url] - [url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=211446]Leaving the WA[/url]   -

    Merged from Technical.

    I'm not seeing the problem, Aksun. The only way to shrink that box would be to eliminate the box. Leave the DEFCON box alone, and it'll still look balanced.

    I am having a problem with my sig. I would like to have it all in a neat little table but it keeps turning out weird.
    This is my current signature layout:
    Code: Select all
    [align=center][b][u]-HELLO I AM NAVY GUNNER'S MATE (SWCC) C.CLAUSEN-[/u][/b]
    [b][u][color=black]I AM A PROUD ENLISTED MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY[/color][/u][/b]

CHECK THIS OUT![/url][spoiler=Quick information about me][color=black][u]About me:[/u]I am a Navy SWCC Gunner's Mate and a proud American. I enjoy working along side my brothers and sisters in the corps and appreciate all of their hard work. I have a link at the bottem of my sig if you would like to find out more about me.[/color]
    [color=black][u]Interests:[/u] Body building, girls, Punching holes in the wall, Playing the guitar and Singing, guns, Military.[/color]
    [url=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FJester814&ei=brr3UqbnJqK-2wX8oYD4CA&usg=AFQjCNGVbt2gobihVao4Y98meqzcXf8nIw&bvm=bv.60983673,d.aWc]My YouTube gaming channel[/url][/align][/spoiler][hr][/hr][align=center]Important Links: [url=http://www.nationstates.net/region=nations_of_the_death_metal_military]MY REGION[/url] | [url=http://www.nationstates.net/nation=isles_of_the_united_armed_forces/detail=factbook/id=212891]NATION STATES AWARDS[/url] | [url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=213430]PROFESSIONAL REGION HAND BOOK[/url] | [url=http://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=210972]MORE ABOUT ME[/url][/align]

    Which of coarse looks like this:
    -HELLO I AM NAVY GUNNER'S MATE (SWCC) C.CLAUSEN-
    I AM A PROUD ENLISTED MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY
    WHAT IS MY JOB IN THE NAVY? CHECK THIS OUT!
    About me:I am a Navy SWCC Gunner's Mate and a proud American. I enjoy working along side my brothers and sisters in the corps and appreciate all of their hard work. I have a link at the bottem of my sig if you would like to find out more about me.
    Interests: Body building, girls, Punching holes in the wall, Playing the guitar and Singing, guns, Military.

    Would some one be able to help me put my links in to a table? if possible
    -HELLO I AM NAVY GUNNER (SWCC) C.CLAUSEN-
    I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY
    WHAT WAS MY JOB IN THE NAVY? CHECK THIS OUT!
    About me:I am a working towards my job as a Navy SWCC Gunner and I am a proud American. I enjoy working along side my brothers and sisters in the corps and appreciate all of their hard work. I have a link at the bottom of my sig if you would like to find out more about me.

    What do you want in the table? Just that last line of links that's in the box right now? Everything?

    Glad to help. :) Tables are difficult to code, but I did write up a how-to in [url=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=8654496#p8654496]this post[/urll] for someone else awhile back, if you want to use that as a reference for yourself, if/when you want to edit that table. :D

    Can't be done. We've got [floatright] and [floatleft], but what you need is [floatcenter]. We don't have that one.
