Posted and edited.

just an FYI, on the message board we use square brackets []
but in HTML we use angle brackets <> for the tags.



I'm sure I knew that.  I think I usually do it the right way, but I've been sleep deprived lately.  

And just FYI, that link that goes to the HTML tags on the submission page is no more, which makes me very sad, because I was using it to get the tags to do my articles.  Can we fix that?

Also, do you want to give me the formatting for whatever you did to my links at the bottom of the article, so I can submit them that way in the future?  I like what you did with them.  (At least, I think the formatting was changed...I didn't do the HTML on those myself.)



Oh, and I wrote a review of Inkheart and submitted it.  I've never done a review before, so let me know what y'all think of it.

Entropy, rock on. Thanks for the input

MsFish, going by memory because I'm too big a lazy sack of crap to look up what I did, I think I just used an unordered list:

Code: [Select]
<ul>
<li />First Item
<li />another item
<li />as many items as you want
</ul>

Just FYI, list tags aren't self terminating so <li/> is a no-no, and after looking at the article (I'm afraid I haven't read anything on TWG for almost a month) we should probably limit the number of articles listed at the end to 5.

I'm also going to be very grumpy when we move over to the new site since someone is going to have to go remove all the in article fixes we're doing, and that someone always ends up being me.

Why are we limiting it to five?  That sucks.  I've had a lot of complaints from people about not being able to find my articles, and there's really no other way for me to fix that.

Because in a few months your articles will be more links then actual content so we need to set a limit.

Um, no offense, but is that really your decision?

In fact I do, when I get Tage to upload the new staff page I'm going to have him upload a new sort page that will work cross deparment.  Then we can generate a unique link that will display all your articles.

You could have said so to begin with.

everyone calm down. No one wants to be mean to anyone else.

New subject. The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. Discuss.

I didn't think about doing it until after I made the original post.  Sorry for the confusion.
