Odd thing on user look up

Tue Apr 12, 2005 4:25 am

Alrighty. Now, I'm scared. I went to look at my user look up and saw this

I can not get rid of the text saying "no styles using URL"
There are no non neopet urls in my coding!

I like my layout, its nothing spectacular, but I like it. How can I get rid of the little note on the top? I have the same look up on my krisgp account and the same little message. Ack!

Er, my guild is discussing this now. Yeah, seems like no ANY urls. o_o So we can't use CSS anymore with URLs. *shivers*

My black BG is gona from my look up...nothing else gone though. I can't add a new BG color. I'm maxed out! :cry:

EDIT: Shop's just fine too.

OK, my lookup's fine, but my shop is NOT. VERY screwed up. o_o

EDIT: Apparently, if you put URL instead of url for your css, it works. Huh?

Well my BG and the image that;s suppose to appear ont he right are totally gone. -.- I also seem to not beable to use the EXACT same code I used before this change now. Seems I suddenly went over the limit by 129. Thanks a lot TNT. <_<

I still can't get mine back to normal.

Well, at least now I remember why there's a file on my desktop called Armi. Ooops. Mine still seems to be in tact, but I'll try to fiddle with the saved one I have of yours tomorrow.

XD Thanks, Huggles. Viewing page source of users that got their BG...I got my BG back to being black. I'm still missing my image of the right side. =/

Better then nothing.

This is very weird, sounds like some bizarre glitch, like someone put the wrong code in on Neopets end. How the heck can we NOT be able to have url for lookups, shops, petpages, pet descriptions. I mean, Hello! There's the lookup of the week, pet spotlight, gallery spotlight, site spotlight. If people can't customize these things what's the point.

I really hope this is a temporary glitch and all goes back to "normal" or if there is yet another (grrrr) change that this time we will be told about it, like in the News. Not like changing the shop text color code so you use css now. That took forever for people to find out!

OK, just checked my lookup and the lookups I made for 2 other people - they are fine. So is my shop.

I tried to view source on yours, kris, and I have no idea what the problem is. Of course, yours uses a different setup code-wise than I use, but background url should be that, no matter where you put it!

Mine's working fine. Just found out i reached 53mths in Neopets. Woo Hoo

They did the same thing for the backgrounds on all my pet lookups. :x They were kind enough not to touch my user lookup though.

Thats the weird thing... there is no background on mine. Its white with the neopets image of a baby lupe fixed in the right hand corner. Or it was anyway... sigh. I'm gonna take the coding out, and put it back in and see if that changes anything. I can't see whats wrong with using neopet urls, I mean, why would they provide us with blogs, fun images and backgrounds other wise?


EDIT- I took the coding out and put it back in. The "no styles using URLs" is gone, but so is the bolding of the text. Sigh. Can't win them all, I'm just glad that little bit of extra text is gone, and my lupe is back! Now... for how long...

Mine is fine, but I'm noticing that anyone who is supposed to have a counter on their page is now missing it, and the "no styles using URL" note is in its place. This goes for TNT staff too, so I wouldn't worry about it. They'll fix it eventually.

Tue Apr 12, 2005 7:36 pm

Or it could be the counter service that's being wonky.

Tue Apr 12, 2005 7:53 pm

My background is gone from my lookup! It was a dark picture so the text had to be white for you to see anything. Because of that, my lookup is basically blank now. I'll have to either delete the coding or try to get it back to the way it was.

EDIT: I got it to work again. I changed the word in the coding from 'url' to 'URL' as mentioned above.
