Hey all.

I'm having trouble editing my charms and text such that it will appear pretty and within the normal screen size. Any suggestions? i tried the "\\" notation, and using semicolons dosen't seem to work either.... i'm sure it's jsut because i'm inept and unable to do even simple html coding, but i coudl use some help. =)

I think there should be a separate section for general-purpose setting information, is all. I already have individual pages for this linked off of my user page, but I'd like to have them accessible from somewhere in the Important Links hierarchy. - Q


This may sound picky. But I really hate Times New Roman. Is there any way to change the font your normal characters are displayed in on Wiki? Something like Verdana or Trebuchet, 'praps?

I think you have to change the relevant font field in your browser's preferences to affect that. Probably under "standard font" or something like that, though it depends ....

If you are familiar with CSS, then you can write up a stylesheet and set it using Preferences. - willows

Not sure if the right place, but recently, I haven't been able to get any of the high-value RecentChanges lists. First it was down to 1, 3, and 7; now I can only get info on 1 and 3. What's up? - IsawaBrian
