Forum:Issues wtih main page column tags

Related wiki: http://WIKINAME.wikia.com or w:c:WIKINAME

Has anyone been able to get these to work? If so, can I go browse your code? I am trying to create a new wiki, and would like to use the columns , however the far left side panel is NOT staying fixed. The box with the search and your links. it is moving to the where the left column should start on the page. Also the adds, on the top right, well thought it was going to be a singular box add , instead it is two small boxes of adds , side by side , and not lining up correctly on the page. I am using the monaco sheet, and the guide for the columns help page said it was compatible. So any ideas on what I might be doing wrong ? DeathKat 13:16, August 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is easier to link to the wiki and fix the problems than to speculate on problems and try to guess how to fix them unseen. Also, I suspect you want to have more than two columns and I'm not sure that these tags are designed for more than just a left and right column.

I am doing the edit on my main page step by step, even doing some copy/pasting of the tags so I dont make a spelling error. I am using source mode and not the text editor. Now what is happening is the left/upper logo is remaining, and everything from the search box on down is moving. The search box with links moves to the center of the screen, and the widgets disappear. Now my columns are working so far as creatiing the two seperate columns, its just that the Search box and links now covers over images/text that I added. I just want to find a way to make it stay stuck to the far left side. Every wiki I have ever seen has that box frozen to the far left. 70.17.198.61 17:00, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * Sighs, The reason I didn't include a link to my main page is because I am not going to leave my main page in that condition. This is a new wiki I am creating and the last thing I want people to see when they come to visit the page , is a main page that has the sidebar pasted on top of everything smack dab in the middle of the screen. So I remove the mainpage-leftcolumn-start / and the closing tag. All I wanted is the command to keep the sidebar and widgets fixed to the far left side of the screen , so I can create columns on the main page. http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_page_column_tags   But instead of getting any support ,  I get attitude, and talked down to like I am some sort of child. Just forget it, I will try to figure it out. In my day..we used these amazing words like please and thank you that most to seem to have forgotten. Thank you for you time in reading over this , but granny just doesn't have time for this riducule. DeathKat 15:09, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess you're too embarrassed to show a page with problems than to get help having it fixed. Your choice. Good luck with that. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:40 AM PST 18 Aug 2010
