I looked back through all the entries but I couldn't find this. There used to be html code that looked like a wikipedia entry? It was for character bios, to be posted in an entry (as opposed to the IJ userinfo).

Clearly I wasn't looking hard enough. I found the mock-Wiki code here.

Unrelated question - I know that a lot of people use Scribbld for hosting or whatever, but... it is NEVER up for me. Is it just me, or is it overloaded, or glitchy, or what? And what is the attraction, anyway? I'm not trying to be snotty, just honestly wondering what the reasons are for posting there over IJ.

I've never had problems with Scribbld not working for me, so that's super weird. Wish I could help!

Anyway, what most people like about it is you can use it to build HTML pages (no div styling; CSS and HTML separate) and it lifts some limitations that coding things for IJ entries has, like hover effects, custom fonts, custom scrollbars, etc., so it's wonderful for static pages like game info and character bios, because of how highly customizable it is.

	Oh, I see. Thanks for responding! While I'm at it, I totally used one of your codes to make some character infos - thank you very much. (I closed the tab and figured I can just as easy thank you for it here as try to find it again! Let me know if you want to see what I did with it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm, I'm always on scribbld and I don't usually see glitches, but old links might be leading to scribbld.net annnnnnd even though they switched to .com a while ago, within the past few months they like completely got rid of the .net domain so now those links are all broken. Maybe that's it?? (Reply to this) (Thread)
