Shop HTML?

Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:49 am

What is going on with the shops? Anything that I try to put up for the background tells me it's being blocked. Have they changed their format again????

I'll check.

EDIT: Works fine for me linking to photobucket.

I tested it with my siggy.

I don't know about shops, which reminds me - it's time to change mine around, but there is something weird going on. I was trying to change a few things on a petpage, have some stuff in tables. Clicked to make the changes and got one of those "hold on, there's a new rule!" things. Can't have tables at a % apparently, so I change it to table width=350 and get that 350 is not allowed. I could not get the bot or whatever it is to understand that cccccc is a color code, not an img src or anything else. In other words, no matter what I did, I was stopped either by my table or my table color. I even tried just white - and that was stopped too!

With respect to the table sizes, try what you've already done but with or without the " " around the option (the opposite of what you've already done). With respect to the colours I would suggest putting a # in front of the colour code if it isn't already there, if it is, remove it. I can't guarantee that these suggestions will work but they're a few more things you can try for your page.

Hi Medusa

Thanks. I did try all that, using " " then not using them, also with the color code tried with the # and without. Nothing would work! When typing bgcolor=white gets you an error code, I figure it's time to quit qhile I'm behind

I really do think some of the filters are just a bit overzealous these days.

One thing that I found that ruined my code after it had been in place for three months with no problem was the word "link" or "lnk" in the image url. Any reference to links is prohibited. I hope that helps someone.

EDIT: I just came across this at http://www.mindlessinvalid.com/tricks.html

» How to make an invisable font: Just so you guys know, neopets has filtered out the color white and the hex colour #FFFFFF. This is probably because when they first got rid of the glow & shadow, people were "protesting" and making their fonts invisible to everyone. Really immature, and ruined some fun jokes for most of us. HOWEVER, we can still have invisible fonts! Hopefully people won't use it to annoy others & just use it for siggy jokes. So here's the code:
[font c=#FFFFFE]STUFF HERE[/font] will give you the invisable font you want, feel free to edit it.
