Forum:Several Questions

I have several questions I would like to ask. First of all I want to know how I can edit the welcome message. This is the one that appears after their first edit to the wiki.

If you look at the side bar, all of the menus link to a separate page on the wiki. For example, if I clicked Top Content or any menu with sub menus, I don't want it to re-direct anywhere.

For this next question, you will have to visit the JamLegend wiki. http://jamlegend.wikia.com/wiki/JamLegend_Wiki

I have two title bars, the Knowledge base and and Official Trailer, and I want them to line up. Whats the best way of doing this?

 * To edit the welcome template, go to "Template:Welcome" and then edit whatever you need. To edit the side bar, go to "MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar" and you can determine what links where. However, I don't think you can disable it actually directing anywhere, but just change where it directs to. I could be wrong, though. Not sure about your final question, though, so I'll leave that for someone else. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Visit the user page for the Wikia bot There you will find all of the detail you need to customize that bot's auto-generated welcome messages. Brandon's tip was for the older, manual system when fellow community members would post the welcome messages using templates. -- najevi 02:13, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

 * Fixed the divs, you had a bunch of newlines between your divs, they add up, and slightly push things around.
 * As for the menus, you cant really, everything gets linked to something. best option is to just keep it pointed to your mainpage like you have now.

Main Page misaligned headings in two columns
I just had a quick look at your misaligned headings and I realize that there are some required "special tags" missing from your main page.     It's probably best that a staff member help you get those back in place as it affects how the advertising blocks get inserted by various scripts.

New Question
I just read over the user page of the bot and it says that $3 controls the signature. Which user will be displayed there? Also when I edit the skin, I can't find where I can change the border on the search box.

 * If its set to @latest, its the last sysop/staff/helper to edit, if its @sysop, the last sysop to edit.
 * its got ID of, so

Thanks for fixing the misaligned headings

Anyway I added this code but it's not changing the border. Should I be putting it under any of the other ?

Another thing, on the main page, I have this huge white space. How do I get rid of it?
