I'm guessing this is the right area.

I'm messing around with the tools right now and I was wondering several things about images for stories.

Is their a size limit on them and is their a limit to how many you can have in your "My pictures" area?

Also is their anyway to center images so that they don't appear on the right side? I was trying to put some pics at the bottom center of the text just before you reach the choices. (And at the top center before any of the text)

Wait, nevermind. I got it. I had to turn off my pop up blocker though to access the image property tools though.

Just need to remember to turn it back on when I'm done!

I get a pop up thing whenever I'm copying and pasting from Word. It always asks me if I want the site to access my clipboard or something. I have to say yes, or else I can't paste it.

The only other problem I was having when I was messing about with it, is that I couldn’t just “auto center” the pics. At least it never seemed to work the way I wanted it to, I usually had to space and move them about manually and then check to see if they appeared how I wanted by viewing it as if I was playing the game. (The preview didn’t seem to give a good indication, and sometimes it would show the text much closer together than it acutally was)

I dunno, if this was a bug, but the text would automatically space whenever I added a new link too making the paragraphs way to far apart from each other, so I’d usually have to go back and correct the text so it appeared correctly. I was getting weird symbol stuff showing up when I used quotation marks in choices.

The best way I found to get something “just right”, is to place the place the links first, then the pic, then the text.

Hmm, maybe Word documents don’t sync up with the site. I’m looking at my above post, and it didn’t appear like that in the box. (Its close together in a part where there should be a space and there are big spaces in two places)

Nope, still got XP. I'm dreading the day I have to switch over to Vista. Hopefully by the time I do, they will have fixed everything.

Sort of like with every other version of Windows actually.

Guys I run Vista, and I'd just like to tell you that Vista Ultimate is not like the bad hype.  I know you wont believe me on the basis that im soem random asshole you don't know telling you this over a site thats meant to be based on writing... but its true.

actually im the first to say it was expensive :P

just pulling your leg, i think vista should have been at a replacement cost of xp, meaning if you had xp, you could upgrade for a cheap price. If you bought new, it would be the price of xp...

That is precisely what I am saying. When you use that little right-click menu to hit paste, you get the pop-up. When you click in the field and hit ctr+v, it pastes it in without any pop-up.

All that stuff happens to me on my home computer, too.  And the not-auto-centering pics, also.  So I don't think it's a bug, I think it's just an issue with some systems.

Oh, I also get the "allow access to clipboard" message.

Actually, a-n00b-us, I've been on here since ???.  Clearly "???" is meant to reflect the dawning of time. Therefor I have been on here far longer than you.

"Clearly "???" is meant to reflect the dawning of time."

No, if it was beginning of time, it would say Beginning of Time, q.v. alexp or march.

DEP is far more seignor then you anoobis, why? Well...

cuz..

err...

I SAY SO!

Okay, I managed to get the first page EXACTLY how I want, so I at least now I know I can do it. It just takes an extra bit of time. No easy copy/paste job here!

I'm going to motivate myself to get two of my stories on here, it'll take awhile though. They're very long writing wise, and I have pics to go with every room.

Okay found a better way to get around the spacing and constant double checking bit.

Copy/paste the text from Word to Notepad, then copy/paste from notepad to the site. You don't get all weird spacing the problems and it comes out looking like how you typed it. (And it winds up as Ariel as well)

This discovery should certainly help me get stuff done quicker.

You mean the Basic and Advanced editors here? I was just using the basic one for now, I wasn't planning on using the advanced one anytime soon.

But happily I've managed to get the picture centering correctly now. I like how I can put the pics in the middle of text where they might fit better with the descriptions.
