images is the right place for the image. Also, make sure that the html code is spelled exactly the same as the name of the image. This system is *very* case sensitive.

Here's a little HTML primer that I liked very much.

The background stuff is near the top of minichapter 5.

No no no, it isn't that, I know the BG code, what I meant was how do I prevent an image from tiling?

Code: Select all

<style>
body { background:url(background.jpg) no-repeat; }
</style>

Oh that was in the old version of the thread, which got wiped out in the october forum meltdown. There's a guide for text bundling in the Workshop, the link of which is in my sig.

Phalanx, check out Kisai's post here:

viewtopic.php?t=54245&start=15

This should be in the FAQ.

Thanks for the heads-up! All added.

Phalaaaaannxxxx! OK no whinning. Everytime I try to manually update my site it shows no one in the queue and then puts me in as 1 and just sits there....forever! I've tried siteadmin2 and test and both do the same thing. Please. Help. Kensou

Faub · Post by **Faub** » Sat Dec 06, 2003 2:56 pm

Question, are you refreshing the page where you first saw the 1 or are you going back one page and refreshing that? If you refresh the page where you first saw the 1, you are actually resubmitting the update every time. Go back to the page where you clicked the button and refresh that. Also, if you're not refreshing, the 1 will not go away. The page does not auto-refresh.

Kensou X · Post by **Kensou X** » Sat Dec 06, 2003 2:58 pm

I'm really not quite sure of the page's freshness but I'm definitely not pushing any buttons...I'm just sitting here....waiting....hoping.

Kensou X · Post by **Kensou X** » Sat Dec 06, 2003 3:00 pm

WHOA HOLY CRAP...you're suppose to refresh the main page? Ok, wow. Heheh....neverrrr minnnnnd.

Oh dear. One mistake I made and it haunts me forever.

The queue is actually an indication of the current state of the queue. It shows you the size of the queue at the time the page was requested.

The queue does NOT need to be zero for your page to update.

To check the whether the page has updated, see

http://sitename.keenspace.com/rss.xml

Of course, substitute 'sitename' with your actual sitename- which in my case would be

http://thejaded.keenspace.com/rss.xml

The last line tells you when your page last updated (accurate down to the second)

Sorry for the confusion, I should point out I did start off writing the FAQ when I was a newbie like everyone else and didn't know better:(

And that's exactly why it's actually been a very big help to me as I am now the newbie. Thank you very much for your help on this issue. Peace out.

Moop!

Updated the FAQ yet again. We are now on V3.3.3 (Is that a nice number or what?)

- Added question regarding passwords not working
- Added question regarding redirect to main page login problem
- Updated password change questions
- Fixed an error in the Step-by-step guide concerning queues and added instructions for rss.xml
- Fixed several minor errors.
- Added visible urls for important links such as Siteadmin and lost password
- Updated credits section to include URLs of those who contributed.

Moop! Phally out!

Phalanx · Post by **Phalanx** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 4:21 am

Update to FAQ:

- Added Boxjam's tutorial
- Cleared up a few questions
- Added link to example of how to add comments
- Added link to HNTRAC

-Reorganised the order of the sections, so that the Step-By-Step guide is on top, since a few people have complained it was hard to find and they needed to read that before the FAQ anyway.

Edit:
- Also added important keenspace facilites as thus:

I gotta say this section has really helped me out alot^^;
I went to Keengear first and was totally confused, then I came here and everything started to fall into place.

It took me awhile to figure out that banner stuff (probably cause I was trying it at siteadmintest rather than siteadmin2 like ya'll said over and over again^^; I'm such a dummy for not catching it) I'm still not sure that I got my banners right since they're not showing up in my signatures just yet, but I'll give it some more time. Maybe they just haven't finished being loaded or whateverO.o*

I've got my page up and somewhat running:

http://chibikeba.keenspace.com

I just need to get the image galleries, character bio's, and the other goodies all up and the page should be good to go^^;

If you have the time to look at my page please let me know of any suggestions you think would make it easier on any peeps navigating through it.

Once again, thanks muchly=^-^=

Um, for the pathetic among us (for instance, me), could you also add how to read the logs? ^^;;

Phalanx · Post by **Phalanx** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 3:26 pm

Erm... how to read the logs?

Do you mean something like the difference between 'Hits' and 'Visits' or things like that?

Moonshadow · Post by **Moonshadow** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 8:58 pm

Right. I looked at the faq for the webalizer itself, but it seemed to mainly deal with the administration side moreso than the interpretation side. I think I have a vague idea of what I'm looking at, and a lot of it is self-explanatory (referrer, exit page, etc), but the hits/visits/etc stuff is a little more on the hazy side... at least for me anyway. ^^;;
