Glow
Is there a glow-like background in html, like this a bit

"Hello World!" "Hello World!"

this is close but I want what it looks like behind the box something like this (just the "Ohaidere" part)

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

"Hello World!" Ohaidere

I cheated by moving the "Hello World!"'s background to the right. Can anyone help? 02:16, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I've added -webkit-box-shadow and now I see it. Unfortunately the only way I know of achieving a similar effect is to use a div with gradients. (Not the gradient class.) I'll give you an example later. 17:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -moz-box-shadow only works in Firefox. Use the standard box-shadow also. 01:28, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE can suck it imo. 01:41, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * IE doesn't support box-shadow... 01:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, firefox doesn't and IE doesn't (IE can still suck it all the same), then what does? 01:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * WebKit browsers. Safari and Chrome. 01:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * But there's " " ... 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * -webkit-box-shadow is deprecated. 01:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine, still means IE does none. But more to the whole point, can you help? 02:00, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * * facepalm* I'm a complete idiot. box-shadow isn't supported in WebKit browsers. Uh, how many cookies do I owe you?

External Sponsor Links
I'm not sure exactly how these work (signing up, vetting by Wikia, etc.), but I just visited Seaweed net without being logged on and got:
 * WoW Paladin Secrets
 * Want to reach level 80 fast? Check out this paladin guide for proven leveling strategies. The guide features quest walkthroughs and leveling locations, as well as top of the line build and equipment advice. Get your paladin guide now and start speed-leveling today!

I know anyone can click the Sponsor this page link and say they want to spend $5/month or $49/year and give their email address. What advertisers and Wikia does after that is a mystery I'm not willing to spend $5 to find out, but apparently there isn't much vetting involved. I know there were lots of discussions a while ago over what ads (Google, DoubleClick, or whatever) Wikia should and should not display on this wiki. Those folks here regularly in contact with Wikia staff get to handle this, I know, but do the admins of this wiki have a way to veto ads before they show up, or is there just going to be a flood of new questionable ads that have to be policed page by page? ('cuz that seems like it would be a real pain ...) -- 05:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw it too =O Sist em X  19:51, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * "do the admins of this wiki have a way to veto ads before they show up(?)", there isn't much they can do other than talk to wikia staff. "is there just going to be a flood of new questionable ads that have to be policed page by page?" probably...  20:00, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

A Question
How does one make an image from photobucket a link to a wiki page, specifically in a signature? Thank you. 01:32, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just use the URL with no []. However MediaWiki does not support resizing images imported from other sites. So if that's your real question, it has to be the right size on the other site. -- 07:46, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you can use this template. It allows a degree of control over external images, including the size. 09:21, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tricky, but really the template generates HTML to get the user's browser to resize the image. Mediawiki still just passes the URL along unmolested. -- 14:42, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sidebar issues
In the code of my monaco sidebar I have this line ***** User:M2602Bot/Task/1a | A it should just return "A" but instead it gives me "Answer:". How do I make it just say "A"? 03:21, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Just a question about infoboxes
Very commonly on articles I see this: You see the gap between the start of the template and the first parameter? Usually I remove it thinking it's excess space. Though it's becoming so common I'm starting to wonder "Does it actually have a purpose?" 03:33, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its probably there after being copy pasted, and it can be easier to edit with a gap. 03:34, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's from RTE edits, there is a bug where it may add a gap at the beginning of the template, those do nothing but are excess space so feel free to remove them. 01:15, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Webcitation.org + Recent Q&A
Can anyone please Webcite the following pages:


 * 
 * 

I tried doing so on the webcitation webpage, but was asked for meta data but I wasn't sure what to put. I find this could be useful for a few citations (such as the Third-age armours and Level four clue scroll concerning the skeletal horror).

Thanks in advance!

 * As the form says "Metadata (optional)", it is optional BUT being the nice guy that I am, I cited them for you

Monobook
With the imminent implementation of the "New Look", I've decided to switch to Monobook. Monobook will be supported in future right? Also, is it possible to create a custom sidebar for monobook? Thanks, 00:31, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * About future support, see http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia’s_new_look_-_FAQ#What_about_Monobook.3F (wikilinking was screwing up the apostrophe). As for custom, I think you need to create a page name "User:Thebrains222/Sidebar" (Takes over MediaWiki:Sidebar... I think) this should work if its anything like MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar. 01:04, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to work. 01:09, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

I have the code break=no prefix=Special:EditCount/ buttonlabel=Check edit count break=no prefix=Special:EditCount/ buttonlabel=Check edit count I want it to go to Special:EditCount/<the username I type into the box> though when I try it just asks if I want to create a new page called the username I typed in. Can anyone help? 00:40, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems to work for me, but createbox is supposed to be used for creating a page, not redirecting (I think there is a way like this but I'm not sure) 00:48, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Works for me too. :O -- 00:50, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't work for me though. I get "Your creating a page" 00:51, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * You could try using the calc script. 01:17, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
