Fixed?

By adding those two extra pixels in height, I think the majority of the userboxes are now the same height, and should format correctly, fixing most of the problems with people's user pages. -BRUCKER EyeBlueSmall.jpg (Home/Talk/Contribs) 12:07, 8 March 2007 (CST)

Redesigning

I was thinking of redesigning the userboxes to look like the person template... like this:

Lazyeye.jpg This user's favorite lg15 character is Bree.


and then we can align them right to go under the FanPerson template. So it would look like:

Taylor Dreams
0258-TaylorGlancingBackAtSarah.jpg

First Appearance
Last Appearance
PG-13
XXX
Person information
Age 18+
Birthday 6.6.6

Lazyeye.jpg This user's favorite lg15 character is Bree.


Pmonkey.jpg This user's favorite lg15 stuffed character is Purple Monkey.

Is that a good idea? Questions, comments? Love, Randy (Say Wha'? | Whachu Doin'?) [Aug. 15. '07 - 7:58 PM, Central Daylight]


I'm not using either of that on my userpage, but I must say it looks a lot better than the clutter usually seen on userpages; unfortunately, said clutter is exactly the problem: Zoey, for example, uses 15 userboxes; stacked on the right, that'd give an approximate height of 1020px just for the userboxes alone. Seeing your userpage, I assume you'd have no problem with that, but I, personally, think it's a waste of space. Why would I scroll down three pages just to see who(m?) a user would like to see naked?

Well, I understand that! I mean, there can be an option in the template saying if you'd want it to be aligned or not. Love, Randy (Say Wha'? | Whachu Doin'?) [Aug 15, 07 - 8:39 PM, Central Daylight]
O.K., I added a Sandbox template at User:-R-/Sandbox/Userbox. Heres my example of the template:
Lazyeye.jpg This user's favorite lg15 character is Bree.


or...
Lazyeye.jpg This user's favorite lg15 character is Bree.


And for right,
Lazyeye.jpg This user's favorite lg15 character is Bree.

Hurr? Looks fine to me in IE. Unless, of course, you expected the mozilla-only styles to work in IE.
