JPDeni, it is already checked at that option.  It will hide the links when the Article block is appearing directly, but I believe there is a glitch when a Block calls on an Article (type: onearticle), the links appear.  It only appear to Admin, tho.

Thx, ZarPrime.  Most of the blocks are calling on an existing Article, since it was the only way that I could find to have it properly displayed as I want it to be.

Weekly Stats is an article, but not featured.  I have introduction that is featured.  I will turn that on and do your suggestions.

ZarPrime, I just did as you instructed.

http://dream-pool.net/main/index.php

I had to checked the following options:

Left side blocks
Right side blocks
Center-Blocks
Show userinfo/news at the top

Visual options for frontpage.

Under the featured article, there is a linked Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6.  I do not want that there.  I want that removed.  I also want the Weekly Stats to appear under the featured article.

Thunder,

Setup a test acct. and PM me the acct name and password if you want me to take a look at what you've done so far.  After we're finished you will be able to delete the acct.  You don't need to use a real EMail address to do that.  Don't post the info here.  PM it to me.

OK, I put your Welcome Article into a Center Block, set to show in theme frame (you can turn this off it you want so that it has a black background).  Weekly Stats is now setup as featured article so that Center Block shows on top of Featured Article.  The  [Edit article]  [Edit options]  in the Welcome article block can probably not be turned off in the block but it will only show to you as Admin.  Nobody else will see it.  Once a new version of TP comes out, there are other ways to do what you want, but I don't recommend an upgrade yet.

Is this about what you are looking for?  If not, tell me what else I need to look at.  If it's OK, you can delete the test acct. or keep it in case you need further help later, up to you.

EDIT:  You said << Please, If you go into Report Loss Box, Team Jump Box, and Jump Box, please do not click the Source button on the editor.  It resets a portion of the codes and strip out a portion if the input tags for the forms. >>

I didn't even look at those, but if you have those in an html block, I suggest you change the block type for those to a script block.  That will prevent you accidentally doing what you asked me not to do.  That problem with the editor has been fixed for the next version of TP.

Oh, I forgot, you asked me not to put the title on Weekly Stats.  OK, let me go in real quick and remove that.

OK, how's that look?

Thanks!  I was sleepin, got really tired and slept for so long.  This is really tough, kinda like back in school, reading all those textbooks. lol

Got it!  Added a center command in the td tags.

As you have seen there is a change. lol

Is it possible to change the block background to be darker grey?

Yes, Crip's theme suits your site nicely.

The block background, let's see ...
... You can change that in the style.css of the theme ...

Code Select Expand

.windowbg, #preview_body {
background-color:#2F2F2F;
border-left:1px solid #515151;
border-top:1px solid #515151;
color:#E3E3E3;
}

The background color is what you would change and you'd have to experiment with it.  It's pretty dark already, but if you change this, it will change the background color in other locations on the site as well, like forum posts.

You just have to experiment with that.  If you have an addon for FireFox called Firebug, you can make changes like this while the page is up without it actually saving the changes so that you can see what making the changes will look like.

Hi,

When I put codes in all those blocks, it is best to have CSS instructions on the style.css page instead of individual codes in the blocks?

In what order is best to place CSS instructions for the blocks on the style.css page?

I'm fixing some things after some people shown me their screenshot with fonts so large.  I gotta force their font sizes down. lol

[JPDeni]

If you're going to set up a style to be used in multiple blocks, put it in the .css file. That way, if you decide to change it, you only have to change it once for all of them. If it's a specific thing for one block, use inline styles within the block.

Order doesn't matter a whole lot in the .css file. If you have a problem, that seems to be related to position, move it. (I'm a real fan of trial-and-error. )

[THUNDERxRAGE]

Okay, I'll try the inline styles to be safe.  Thx for ur response!

Which do you think is the most common font types used?

Lets say for example...

Visiter X have the Times New Roman font, but in their Internet Settings the font selected for webpage is Verdana.

When I instruct a block to display the font as Times New Roman, will that make Vistor X see the Times New Roman font (they have this installed) or their Internet Settings take over?

You can set multiple font faces. Take a look at font-family. If a user doesn't have one, then the next font face gets used.
