User talk:Tghe-retford/FAQ

Are you really single?

Yes (laughts out loud).

Can I use your homemade userboxes on my userpage?

Of course. Just copy the code from my page to your userpage when you edit your page and save.

I can't click onto the images to take me to your subpages?

The Click template does not work properly with some browsers. I decided to use clickable images to avoid confusion and make the user page easier to use. If people viewing my userpages have a problem with the images, I may review the use of the template.

Images have a white border when I use Internet Explorer, why is that?

This is a known bug in Internet Explorer 6 (security version 1) and earlier versions where transparencies are not supported. There is no fix for this problem and the problem affects all websites. Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, alongside other web browsers do support transparencies. The alternative solution would be to use no images at all or use white backgrounds, which didn't fit in with the design of my userpages.

Other nominated pages for the Esperanza user page award have lots of images/large images and rounded tables that look very stylish, why didn't you use them features?

To be honest, I wanted to make my userpages accessible and look the same regardless of what browser you were using. Rounded tables are not supported by all browsers, so it would make my pages not look as good and discriminate those who used unsupported browsers. I may review this decision in the future.

As for images, I wanted to keep them as few and as small as possible. This keeps the load time on the page as low as possible and prevents the page from dragging slowly on some browsers, which can be frustrating to say the least.

It isn't possible to make my pages accessible to everyone. PDA's may struggle to correctly render my userpages. Pocket Internet Explorer will not render my user pages correctly. You may have better luck with other PDA/smartphone browsers.

Your userpage looks great, can I use the code on my userpage?

Yes you may. The code for my userpage has been released into the public domain for anyone to use:
