Spoiler:

Your issue is that you were specifying width and height in your post background DIV, and the content was spilling out because you weren't telling the DIV what to do with the overflowing content. Spoiler shows what content looks like with the width and height specifications removed from the post background DIV.

If you want the post to fit in the 850x300 area you specified, you need to add "overflow:auto" or "overflow:scroll" (preferably the former) to the DIV's properties.

Clear as mud?

Introduction
Welcome to the Grass Club! We're excited to have you come and browse around, there are many great things about this club. First of all we work to achieve closeness and familiarity with every member of the club. The Grass Type and it's many beauties is what brings us all together. Any and all visitors are welcome and feel free to chat with us! I believe that the Grass type is able to teach us that there is always sunshine after the darkest (and much needed) storms. Let's grow together.

Grass Club Code of Conduct
1. Obey all of the forum rules, of course!
2. Remember the Golden Rule! Treat others the way you would want to be treated. If we master this we will have no worries.

4. Responding to the Topic of the Week is NOT mandatory. It's simply there to promote discussion if you're having trouble with what to say.
5. Is listing "have fun" as a rule kind of counter-intuitive? :P

Thank you! I am currently learning how to code so I am still a little confused as to what exactly you're talking about. However, if I look at ti again and simply substitute the image for something else then I think I'll get it. Thanks a ton :).

I'll bold the area that was mucking it up when I get to a pc again, but the image itself was not the problem. It was the fact that you told the portion of the code that contains the background image to only be a certain size. And, on top of that, you didn't tell that portion of the code what to do with content you put inside it that didn't fit inside the tiny little box you told it to be.

That was the issue.

EDIT - Your outer DIV: [cd="background-color:brown; background-image:url('https://www.my-iguru.com/ipad/assets/images/ipad-wallpapers/abstract/ipad-wallpaper-electric-blue.png'); width: 850px; height: 300px;border:10px solid #000000; padding: 25px;"][/cd]

The part that was causing it to spill out from that outer DIV: width: 850px; height: 300px

You were telling the content to fit inside a box that size, and the content you made for the Grass Club was too big for that box and was spilling out, as that's the default behavior for content that doesn't fit inside a box specified by CSS.

Hey everyone, would someone be able to help me with setting up CSS so I have four scrolling boxes side-by-side? The code I'm using for the scrolling boxes is below, though I'm not sure how to make it so I have four separate scrolling boxes each with their own text, side-by-side.

I'm pretty sure there is another way to do this but I've always done it by using the Float tool. You can do it either left or right,but you'll have to use the clear function if you want to put stuff around the boxes or it could mess up a little bit.

Are you by chance using the WYSIWYG editor on the forum? Check your User CP options just to make sure.

I'm curious as to whether I could add a shadow to my signature or not (the full thing, not just the text)> Would look a bit nicer.

It's essentially the same thing as a text shadow, but instead it's called a box shadow. If you take your text-shadow code, and replace it with box-shadow you should be good to go! :)

You can, you'd just have to add this:

Code:

filter: drop-shadow(0 0 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3));

Though that overflow: hidden; would need to be removed for the shadow to show entirely. Keep in mind this isn't as well supported as the standard box-shadow:; property but it will let the shadow form to your background image.

If you can't get it working feel free to post the code here. :)

It's because you've kind of built it so there are two boxes.

Figure out which open and close tags pair with each other to identify the problem.

I need help figuring out how put text that you can scroll down.

Code:

text.........................suushdhhdhzjsjjs (random text)ydudufooycyocogcigcitotciezirxi
exorcotcotcog

47373 37 I 447d8rx8txieufjdjsjskkaoa

How do i make sure the word code doesnt show over the text? Or should i be using a different code altogether?

Do you perhaps mean like this?

Then yes, you would need to use CSS if you don't want to use the [code][/code] BB code.

Um. I was looking into making a CSS signature, and I was editing, and previewing it to check my results... untill the forums crashed for a bit. Then I went to that 'ww3schools' website, to use their editor thingy, to test my signature whilst the forums were offline.

Now that I have my finished result, I'm a bit confused at how to convert it into the BB Code version of CSS we have here. This is what I have:

HTML:

<div align="center">
<div style="background: url('https://i.imgur.com/5Ffpfl8.gif') center no-repeat; width: 480px; height: 272px;">
<div style="padding-top: 210px;">
<div align="center">

<a href="https://services.runescape.com/m=adventurers-log/profile?searchName=Quavelen"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ERQRLsc.png"></a>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 8px silver; color: darkred;">
<div align="center">
<font size="4">
<font family="georgia">Love and Understand, Imagine and Believe. It will take you far.</a>
</div>
</font>
</font>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

And this is what it would look like, with that HTML: (I recorded a .gif)

Those three little images; the Imgur, MineCraft, and RuneScape icons are clickable, and each of them lead to my profile pages. With the available CSS BB Code that I know of, I'm unaware as to how I can put those icons on top of the animated flames, and make them clickable. Could someone please point me in the right direction? I've fiddled around with it enough in the signature editor, that I'm at a loss.
