General Neohome Questions & Answers 8



Firstly, take the time to read this thread from Redemption, about changes in the NeoHome system, since the last thread was created.

Please use this thread to ask any questions that you have pertaining to NeoHomes. Ensure you read the questions within this index before making a new post, as your question may have already been answered.

NOTE: Using your Neohome for malicious purposes will result in account ban or deactivation. This includes any attempts to run harmful code, create inescapable annoyances (looping pop ups that spawn new ones upon their closure), posting pornography/overly sexual content, flames for other members, or any other infractions on the site wide rules.

Q3: How will other members know I have set up my NeoHome?
    A: Once you have created your Neohome, other members will see that you have a one as you will now have this icon under your name in all forum postings: . When other members click this icon, they will be taken directly to it for viewing.

Q4: The 'Edit Your NeoHome' link doesn't appear in my forum preferences. Why?
    A: For the option to 'Edit Your NeoHome' to appear within your forum preferences, you must have at least 50 posts. You can still begin creation, however you will need to use this link until you acquire the required post number.

Q5: Can Neoseeker markup be used to create my NeoHome?
    A: No - only HTML can be used during it's construction.

Q6: I want my NeoHome to have a colour as a background, what is the HTML for this?
    A: The following HTML can be added to give you a singular colour background:

    <table bgcolor="HEX CODE/COLOR HERE" width="100%" border="4"><tr height="100"><td>
    
    
    ALL CONTENTS/EXISTING TAGS OF NEOHOME IN THIS SPACE
    
    
    </td></tr></table>

    A: Yes, the HTML to perform this is:

    code
    <table background="URL OF IMAGE" width="100%" border="4"><tr height="100"><td>
    
    
    ALL CONTENTS/EXISTING TAGS OF NEOHOME IN THIS SPACE
    
    
    </td></tr></table>

Q8: How do you make a worded link within my NeoHome?
    A: The following code can be used to produce a hyperlink:

    re: General Neohome Questions & Answers 8

    Even though this is the General NeoHome thread, there are still people, including me, that ask coding questions outside of Neoseeker. Besides, if inner HTML were to ever return some day, people would know how to use it.

    You really can't fix that.Neoseeker disabled some website URL's to prevent people from advertising.

    Yes, a number of sites for image hosting (I believe) and other forums were recently blocked because of how many new members and guests tossed them around for advertising purposes.

    re: General Neohome Questions & Answers 8

    Ok, I feel like a complete idiot but I cannot for the life of me figure out a way for the cells in a table to have borders. I have made a table that has a border around it but there is supposed to be individual borders between the cells that are not showing up. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have posted the section of code that I am having trouble with below:

    code
    <div align="center"><table border="2">
    <th>Games I've Played</th>
    <th>   Games I want to Play   </th>
    <tr>
    <td>Fable<br />Fable: TLC<br />Star Wars: KOTOR<br />Star Wars : KOTOR II<br />Need For Speed: Most Wanted</td>
    <td>Halo 3<br />Fable 2<br />Oblivion</td>
    </tr>
    </table></div>


    -Edit-
    I just made the cells of the table table headers (I used the <th> tag) and that seemed to seperate them but then I can't change the color very well so it works for now but if someone still has an answer that would be really helpful.

    I just tested out your code on IE 6 and FireFox and I found both cells to have borders.

    re: General Neohome Questions & Answers 8

    I cheated a little bit and stuck the entire thing in a table.

    code
    <table background="http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3084/neohomev34gc1.jpg"


    There's probably a better way to do it, but this worked for me.

    Q7: I want my NeoHome to have an image hosted at a remote location as a background, is this possible?
    [ul]
    A: Yes, the HTML to perform this is:

    code
    <table background="URL OF IMAGE" width="100%" border="4"><tr height="100"><td>
    
    
    ALL CONTENTS/EXISTING TAGS OF NEOHOME IN THIS SPACE
