Alright, so just recently I've realized I've been getting a decent sized number of messages regarding custom sections; either they aren't working the way they want, or whatever someone told them wasn't 100% correct.
So...I've decided that I'd start off by quoting something I replied to one of my recent PMs regarding how to work custom sections. I'm not familiar with V2, so this is strictly oldschool.
DO NOT PM ME ON CUSTOM SECTION HELP

IMPORTANT!!!
key points for the main about coding: no 'position:absolute;', must use margins(margin-left, margin-top) and not regular positioning(left, top).
key points for the custom section: about section should have '[*list=1]custom section content[/list*]', coding must have 'position:absolute;', and use regular positioning(left, top), then if there's more than 1 custom section any before the last one must not have scroll settings.

example:
about-
"about me" section
[list=1]this is my custom section[/list]
[list=1]this is my custom section[/list]
theme-
#about {
margin-left:??px; margin-top:??px;
height:??px; width:??px;
overflow:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
}
#about ol {
position:absolute;
left:??px; top:??px;
height:??px; width:??px;
overflow:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
}
margin-left:??px; margin-top:??px;
height:??px; width:??px;
overflow:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
}
#about ol {
position:absolute;
left:??px; top:??px;
height:??px; width:??px;
overflow:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
}
Alright now, for the vast majority of you, this is enough to either satisfy you, confuse the crap out of you, or get you going in the right direction. I hope that helps answer many questions.
ALSO!!! and I can't stress this enough...I do NOT want this thread turning into a general help thread, so do not come in asking how to put freakin media/music/playlist/pictures/etc on your profile, or anything you can find in the general FAQs. This strictly has to do with coding oldschool custom sections.
Thank you, and practice clean coding.
