Im sure that somebody has already asked this question, but I forgot the how, How do I put an image into my factbook?

Use the [img] tags. You'll need to have your image hosted on an approved hosting service now (such as imgur).

Code: Select all

[img][/img]

If you're feeling brave you also look at doing things like creating a [box] around the image or using [floatright] to keep it to the side - if you're feeling brave.

Where should I ask concerning everyone’s CVIs?

Chemical-terrorism vulnerability? Climate vulnerability? This forum, but you'd be hardpressed to make it a full thread I would think, especially the former. The latter possibly has a lot to talk about but keep in mind we expect the OPs of new threads to be pretty beefy. I know the enforcement of this is spotty but you don't want to end up being the thread that gets swept up.

I want to kinda ask: About Levels of Civilization (Ranking), you know strength and all.

Can anyone review/rate my national factbooks and suggest where it can be improved?

If it's an existing index(scoring system), use that index's thread. If you're making your own index, make your own thread. Seems like a F&NI matter anyways.

I will create a map of my nation. However, NS does not take place on a particular Earth and the boundaries are very complex. How will I determine my map?

[New Treyland]

Does anyone have a template for a news website-style factbook?

I generated mine using Fractal terrains like twelve years ago then traced in MSPaint.

Hello.

[Wish For Love And Peace]

Good day.

I was wondering if and where I might post about the scheduled mass deletion of images on 'imgur'.
Would this be considered relevant enough to open a thread?

I have noticed that quite a number of factbooks include images from that site. Unfortunately, they will be deleting images not associated with an account on May 15th. Thus, I hope nations might be able to save their media in time.

Thank you for your time!

Didn't want to clutter up the F&NI board with unnecessary new threads, so I though I would ask this of the wise leaders of the forum. About a year ago, I got onto World Anvil to organize my nations, and after a year I am close to publishing several of the articles.

My question is what are the NS policies regarding links to my WA articles? Does the NS URL function accept World Anvil links? Is it allowed to do so? Can they only be read if you're also a member of World Anvil? Is there opposite the same, are NS links accepted on World Anvil articles?

My apologies if this is not the forum for these questions, and thank you for reading this comment.

World Anvil should be fine, try linking an article here as a test, or in a factbook or something.

I need some help, I’ve been messing with this factbook for a while and can’t make it work. I’m trying to eliminate the space between the logo and the search bar but I can’t figure out how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm assuming you want the search bar to be on the right hand side? If that's the case you could try using a plain table.

Code: Select all

Thanks for the help, I’ll need it for adding a logo to the right hand side. I’m trying to get the search bar to be just below the Kaskalma.gov logo instead of there being a large space

No worries. The gap might be because the government logo has a lot of empty space. Not sure if that's intentional, but you could try to crop the photo down so it's just the logo.

Hi all! I was wondering how i would work in this new weapon factbook of mine, for context, the nation is currently set in the 3000s (regional roleplay timeline)

Hi all! I was wondering how i would work in this new weapon factbook of mine, for context, the nation is currently set in the 3000s (regional roleplay timeline)

Like, just into roleplay in general? Get into a FT RP, there's a bunch of groups out there, even regions.

Or...

Make a storefront selling futuristic (FT) weaponry HERE.
If you want more info on how to do that, go HERE, or HERE, to ask for help.
