xd Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the effect I was going for. >.> xp

Note.... I found my own way to center my profile in an IE-based browser (Avant) ...

I'll check it in actual IE in a moment... but in the body tag alone I added the following:

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100px;

So.... how do you get rid of the line at the right side of the profile?

Er, I can't see too well, because your method doesn't work very well in Firefox. Unless you happen to have a huge resolution, I guess. xd ;

As for the line, it's one of these:

#header { border-right: none; }

#content { border-right: none; }

I can't see which because I can't see the line. >.>

***EDIT: Ah, just looked in IE, it looks fine, but in Firefox it's not at all. I'll play around with it too. And it's the #content one. 3nodding

stressed It was just a border?! .... And I went to all that trouble putting in the Chroma filter to get rid of that colour in every section. Damn my stupidity... sweatdrop

But yeah... I checked. The center version works for Internet Explorer .... though I'm running my screen at 1024 x 768. In fact, I'm wondering how my background looks on different resolutions if it even shows up at all.

Your page is a big help. Thanks.

How can I make a picture appear above each section such as friends, about and etc. with out it actually being the backround?

You mean like section headers? You put that as the 'background' in the h2 sections (i.e. #profile h2 { blahblah } ) 3nodding

Thanks.

xd ; Yeah, just a border. I'm running at the same resolution, works in IE, but it doesn't work at ALL in Firefox. sweatdrop It's all skewed way to the right, and it's not even lined up with the banners. I have to figure out what that code actually does so I can see why it's different. neutral

Changing the text colour for the page is simple, just add this:

body { color: #fff; }

and replace the #fff with whatever colour you want to use. And if you're referring to the white box behind your profile section, it's

#profile { background: #000; }

and replace the #000 with whatever colour you want to use. Or with the word none if you want there to be no background.

[Kira Catgirl]

Oh and BB, you forgot the semicolon after the colour for your Details section. Be sure to remember those, it doesn't work without them.

***EDIT: And the closing bracket on the... well actually, a lot of closing brackets. >.>

Ah well.... does my profile look all screwy to you in firefox?


Oh.... and just as a sidethought, I'm not sure how applicable it is multi-browser.... but I know something that would probably look pretty good for your profile avatar (and perhaps the avatar at the top):

filter:gray;

I'm playing about with filters at present.... and having the avatars in greyscale just seems much more ... Film Noir ...

Changing the text colour for the page is simple, just add this:
[code:1]body { color: #fff; }[/code:1]
and replace the #fff with whatever colour you want to use. And if you're referring to the white box behind your profile section, it's
[code:1]#profile { background: #000; }[/code:1]
and replace the #000 with whatever colour you want to use. Or with the word none if you want there to be no background.

I put it in and its not working. Sadly I think im stupid when it comes to this.
