wolfponies

Been in your situation maaaaany times.
Now I don't know about you and your friend's connection but judging your post I believe she trusts you.
I myself also get far too attached to people over the net and it's been like that since I was a little kid. Because of this, I've built quite a few super strong bonds over the years and I've been the receiver of many deep stories. Now, how one responds in such conversations depends a lot on personalities. I would personally never ever stay passive and go with replies like "don't worry. I'm sure everything will be alright!" and I would be truly disappointed if one of my friends replied in that way. Such a line works in real life when you can hug your friend and never let go but I believe the net requires other actions. A part of my personality is that I love to solve problems. That is, when a person opens up to me I'm likely to devote a lot of spare time in order to solve his/her problem. This means I have to dig deeper and most important, give my view no matter what. This is sometimes good, sometimes bad. There are two kinds of people. Those who can take a kick in the butt and those who can't. I could go on and tell you a couple of stories but I rather not. Instead, my advice to you is that, while helping people over the net, don't be boring and shallow, join her team, share her quest for happiness and satisfaction. Good luck!

Looks very nice! :) I'm happy you reached all your goals and I'm happy I could help you out, it's been great fun!
If you got any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
 
Think we can consider this topic closed now :)

Yay! Thank you, wolfponies!
 
BOTH of your helps in your last reply were required to accomplish my goal!
 
The image is PERFECT...and I needed to use your more logical code for the spacing in order to have enough characters FOR the image!
 
Take a look at the finished product...I know it is kinda 'bland' by most standards...but it is EXACTLY what I wanted!
 
You RULE!
 
Cheers!
 
:P

I see! Such solutions are of course bad but sometimes necessary, one doesn't always have the patience to look for the perfect solution :)
In your case, you wish to add a bottom padding to the usertrophies div like this:
#usertrophies .contentModuleTable { ... padding-bottom: XXXpx; } And here's the petpet image. I haven't tested it because I don't have a user with five pets :(
Anchor it to the upper left corner of the userneopets div and it should work.

First and only thing that caught my eye was:
#i { top: 1500px; left: 0px; width: 1px; height: 700px; } ... <div id="i">.</div> This seems like a desperate solution to something. What does it do?
 
I also don't think the code can be shortened enough to satisfy your need for petpet display the way you want it. You need the image. I'll see what I can do tonight, shouldn't be hard.

Creating the image can be tricky yes. It shouldn't be necessary though but if you run out of characters I guess I could create the image for you.
 
For the scrolling pet preview, you need about 650 characters (based on the lookup you link to). The code for the preview is simple and can easily be extended with more pets.
<style> #neo { overflow: hidden; height: 271px; width: 97%; background: white; border: 2px solid #111; z-index: 5; } #neo2 { overflow: auto; height: 269px; width: 99.7%; } #neo a { width: 180px; height: 246px; overflow: hidden; display: block; } #neo img { ; margin-top: -27px; } </style> <div id="neo" style="position: fixed; bottom: 15px; left: 18px;"> <div id="neo2"> <table> <tr> <td> <a href="PET_LINK"> <img src="IMAGE_URL"></a> </td> <td> <a href="PET_LINK_2"> <img src="IMAGE_URL_2"></a> </td> ... </tr> </table> </div> </div> Try it out!

Hope you get a nice birthday with lots of cake. Any nice presents?

Sorry about your warning.
Be a sunflower in those sigs and you'll be fine :)

You can easily add a scrolling pet preview to your lookup. I'm not sure how many characters you have left now after all the shortening, maybe you can even add the preview now. If you need to shorten it even more we can properly handle those small images. Since those are just images, they should belong to a big image and not five smaller ones.

No need to have "top: 0px;" within the #header or "margin: 0px;" within the #main. They are both 0px by default. I don't understand why you first tell the header to ignore borders: #header, #main, #content, #footer, .sidebarTable { border: none; } Then give a top border to your header: #header { ... border-top: 20px #5F3B68 solid; } Then again tell your header to ignore borders: #header { border: none; } Can be shortened a lot but I don't know your intentions :) .contentModule, .contentModuleTable, .contentModuleContent { border: none; } is redundant. Add them to the other containers ignoring borders.

#f { top: 690px; left: 784px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } #n { top: 690px; left: 626px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } #b { top: 690px; left: 468px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } #m { top: 690px; left: 310px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } #w { top: 690px; left: 942px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } Can be written as:
#f,#n,#b,#m,#w { top: 690px; width: 45px; height: 45px; border: 2px solid #00FF33; z-index: 2; } #f { left: 784px; } #n { left: 626px; } #b { left: 468px; } #m { left: 310px; } #w { left: 942px; }

You're in for a truly enjoyable lifestyle if you learn how to bake and like it :)
I've always considered baking to be funniest when you bake for people and not yourself so, if I were you, I'd ask my family what they like before making anything. Then later on you can alter with things you like yourself. It is usually by trying out new stuff people find new favourites :)
Cakes are a bit of a different kind of baking. I wouldn't suggest anyone to start off by making cakes. Go for the simple things, play around with flavours, learn the science and so on. Of course these are all my opinions, you should always go your own way :)
Good luck!

Hi there guys!
Okay, so I have a piece of artwork that I'm keen to use on my userlookup as a background.
The only issue is that it's quite long, and I'd like to make my lookup scroll horizontally instead of the default vertical scroll.
I can't find any tutorials to do this anywhere, so could someone help me please? I only really know the basics when it comes to coding so I'd have no idea how to do this without a guide of some sort.
 
Hey guys; I think I managed to figure out the problem; feel free to check out my userlookup and give me some feedback on it! x_x' It took a while but I think for now at least I'm happy with it.

Send them a ticket and tell them to remove your warning from the logs because you did nothing wrong. This is simply staff members creating their own rules again and again.
Now they say you violated the Terms and Conditions but if you head to http://www.neopets.com/terms.phtml you'll see that there's nothing in there about user lookups.
I had to go to an editorial from Y11 to read about this "rule" from a staff member:
 
I've noticed lately that many users have been altering their hobbies to a more personalized version. I was wondering: is this okay? I've also wondered if there was a single place where most of the User Lookup rules were compiled, and if not, could such a place be arranged? :D Thanks and keep up the great work!
This is fine, as long as the listed hobbies are appropriate. The User Lookup rules are actually pretty simple. Don't write anything inappropriate, put up music with bad lyrics, or post your pic, and make sure all the info is visible.
 
Where can I find these User Lookup rules?
 
And here comes the hilarious thing. The 372nd winner of the User Lookup Spotlight is this user: http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?place=372
Now wait a second, I have to click on some tangram pieces to display different account information, isn't that against the "rules"? Apparently not since this user got a shiny trophy to their collection.
 
To sum up, TNT is a complete joke containing people who don't know the site rules themselves yet don't mind warning people based on these rules.
 
I'm sorry Shelley, your lookup was one of my favourites.

I'd personally think twice before buying a laptop from a company both into electronics and fruit.

Wow thanks Aquamentis for those kind words :) Makes me super happy!
I think me being a newbie is perfectly displayed in the first picture haha...eew!
 
I laughed a bit when you said I gave the face a nice look by varying line thickness. If I did that it was absolutely NOT on purpose but rather me being too lazy to sharpen the pencil :D:D
I so wish wish wish to be able to draw anthro in the future but at the moment it's just a dream. I may be able to draw the anatomy based on a ref pic but that would be character stealing. I need waaaay more practice before I can create my own unique character :)
 
Also, I forgot to ask. Drawing from reference pictures is one thing and I plan to continue doing that for a while...different poses etc. A question for you awesome artists, is it a nightmare to move from reference pictures to personal creativity?

Awww thank you so much for those kind words Karla! :)

Unfortunately someone may have reported you based on posting that or someone you played a game with reported you for doing something else. From what I've seen on the boards etc. it seems like a lot of people get warned/frozen over KQ. If you want a completely safe game I would recommend playing with neofriends.

Ok, so time for a little art update for you all to see me progress :)
The first thing I did was to watch videos related to the one kaybee posted. I found those too hard to start with, they were all pretty amazing artist. Instead, I did my first drawing based on a step by step guide. The guide was showing how to draw a nice but simple full body wolf in a typical wolf position. I was very unhappy with the result but I wanna show you anyway.

I showed the drawing to a friend who said shading was what made the drawing look bad. That was a very sweet response because I think there is more aspects than just shading :P
Anyway, I thought step by step guides was nothing for me, at least not for a full body wolf. I decided to let my own dog be a model and I took a picture of him and used it as a reference. The only problem is that my dog is all black. It was impossible to see shadows and I soon had to stop drawing because I simply had no clue what I was doing :(
I thought maybe I should use an already existing wolf drawing as reference. I looked up a few drawings at work and found a nice and big drawing of a wolf's head. I tried to mark geometric shapes to make it easier to start drawing and printed out the edited picture. This weekend I spent approximately 10 hours drawing the head and reached a result I'm very proud of. I think this was a perfect way of practicing shading. Here's my drawing:

I think it was you Shelley who wanted to see the pencils in action. I only used the colour called "midnight black" in this drawing, I didn't dare to colour it. I'm planning to add colour (purple and gray) in my next drawing.
 
Now tell me what you think about the drawings and how you think I should progress.
 
PS: I now completely understand the impact of shading when it comes to drawing fur :)
 

My ultimate goal is to be able to draw my pet and create the petpage I've always wished to have. Sounds like a piece of cake but without tons of spare time I have to consider it a long term and thus ultimate goal :)

Hold your key or mouse button until the kass reaches its top position and then release. Once it's about to hit ground, hit your key or mouse button for it to bounce more...do this for each bounce.
