== Flashing Weather Graphic ==

Um...it was kind of ok for a while .. but now it's just annoying. It's kind of one of the early rules of web design - not to have too many flashing things around when people are trying to read ... not to mention that I don't know what a kts is or a NW 115, and every page? theres a link to the weather which should be enough, eh?

Geee where did it go? ... that annoying weather thing ? CountryMike I cant agree that there was too many flashing things on the page because the weather thing was the only flashing thing on an otherwise static page so I think the "early rules of web design" argument doesnt stand - have removed it anyhow - it was ugly and it's mother had dressed it funny !! [[User:Bruced|Bruced]]

:Well... anything flashing on a page reminds me of an ad. Don't mind it if it's on the "weather" page, but it had ursurped it's place in society and was becoming an annoying child poking its flashiness in on every page. [[User:Countrymike|Countrymike]] 11:19, 5 October 2007 (NZST)

== Editing/Formatting Question ==

Hi, I have a question around firefox... which is what I use mostly. It seems that firefox displays pages differently to IE. I get a page looking ok with firefax then when it gets "tidied up" using IE, firfox ends up a mess... Is there something obvious I should know.

:Not sure that I know what you mean. Do you have an example page that has been messed up? [[User:Countrymike|Countrymike]] 11:45, 8 October 2007 (NZDT)

I have just been testing it here at work.. its all fine with Firefox here, At home I have photos on top of others and things like , you have to edit and move pictures way down the page to get it looking ok... maybe its a caching thing.. odd.

:Image handling in MediaWiki leaves a bit to be desired and it's often the case where things can overlap etc. One trick that I've used quite a lot is to add this syntax <nowiki><br style="clear:both;" /></nowiki> underneath the image or the paragraph that is covered over. Oh, and if you can sign your posts in these Talk pages then I won't think that I'm talking to a computer. Sign a post using 4 tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or use the signature image on the toolbar (second one from the right). [[User:Countrymike|Countrymike]] 15:17, 8 October 2007 (NZDT)
