Erg, now everyone that has Windows is saying the blog body isnt even showing up. For me it is...I can't fix a problem I don't have. Anyone know what's wrong?

Oh, and I keep specifying the font as Geneva, yet for Windows users its showing as Times New Roman.. mad.gif

I don't see anything either. blink.gif Did you do it right?
Please post your code up. _smile.gif

use codebox.
[codebox]code here[/codebox]

And for the font, it may be because you don't have that font on your computer. I certainly dont. If you dont have it on your computer, you can't see that font.

Geneva - Windows doesn't come with this font. Therefore, we can't see it.
And just as a side not, if you want to apply a scrollbar style to all the div layers, just define it in your CSS... It makes it so much simpiler for the computer to read.
As to why the blogbody is not showing up... I dunno, but you don't have something in your source that most Xangas do. It's usually right after the body starts...
CODE
<div style="height: 79px"></div>

Windows....sucks.

And why is Geneva a font option on the Xanga site itself if its not even a universal font? Now I have to edit that out all over the place...*grumbles*

I changed the font to Verdana and it works. Now to have my blog actually show...

that may be your problem.
I'm sure that anything, even over 500, will make it off the page. Try changing that to a lower number. _smile.gif

There's not a good way for me to put it in place, since -820 seems to (oddly, and illogically enough) the correct amount on my comp. I don't know how I would even test that to get it in the right spot. Why are the pixel amounts so random, and so different on different platforms and res's? Isn't there some surefire, stable way to place these divs?!

Maybe I could change my password and have someone fix it and change it back. Are any of you guys allowed, or willing, to do that?

I applied it...check it out I guess. I can't tell on my comp. O.o??

I'm pretty sure it worked...now how do I make that horizontal scrollbar go away on my prof? I can't get the content to be skinnier ha...I'm kinda lost in the code at this point... wacko.gif
