Topic: I have a problem with the Private skins.
Hello! I have two problems with private skins actually.

These private skins I am talking about here, are those where you search for the term:

And then copy and paste the code to your Customize Profile.


1) All h2 sections without text are invisible

eg, When someone views your profile, sections such as, you're About me, and Interests (#lifestyle h2, #interests h2), they disappear, because no text or links is present in that area.


2) In some sections such as About Me etc... The font type is automatically (and unwantedly) made bold.



Now there are ways to fix these issues.

1) Make a joined Header+Nav image then use CSS to place in the #lifestyle h1, #interests h1, and force the height as 65px or more dependent on the image combined heights.

Like this:
#lifestyle .bg_title, #interests .bg_title {
height: 65px !important;
background: url(http://??????????.jpg);}



2) Use CSS again to force the font to the correct boldness.

* { font-weight: normal; }

.box_profile_info_small_heading { font-weight: bold !important;}

.box_profile_info_small_content { font-weight: normal !important;}

--------------------------------------

With hi5's new milestone, we won't be able to use CSS on your profile anymore.
Hence the Profile skin + Custom CSS combination will no longer be possible.

Also, in some cases, such as mine, I have an animated nav-bar.
It is very troublesome to keep making joint sections for each of my skins, when hi5's php is the problem.



All in all, it will be better if hi5 fixes these bugs, or makes some sort of code we can place in our CSS to fix them.

Please do something about this.

Thanks,
-Andrew

Can Liz or someone please give me an answer on this?...

Hi Andrew,

It definitely makes sense to show the mini module navigation image on skins, even when links are not present. I can get that on our list of fixes. I'm not sure what you mean about the boldness, but if you are referring to titles like "Birthday" or "Favorite Movies", this is not a bug. The titles are bold to set them apart from the text added beneath them.

Thanks for replying Liz.

The boldness I was talking about, occurs in the text of your "About me" and "Interests" sections.
The text that you enter personally. Not just the titles.

I've seen the boldness reversed in the #about-center section also.

The Titles you mentioned. The font-weight for those were normal, and the .box_profile_info_small_content was bold instead.
They were reversed.

I don't know whether or not the problem has been fixed already.Or if it was a temporary problem.
But it would be good if they could check on that.

I'd be glad also if you could get that h2 problem on the list of fixes as you mentioned.

Thanks for your time Liz!

I'm not sure if I've come across the bold text problem you're describing. Is it still happening? Can you post a screenshot or link to a profile with the problem?

Ok, sorry about that.

Here, take a look at my brother's profile:
http://www.hi5.com/friend/114990653--Adrian--Profile-html

He is wearing a private skin I made "Music Player Red"
(That was never accepted -_-")

I just took a look at his source code.

There seems to be some strange line added to it that we did not put:

--------------------------------------------

.window_content { background: transparent; }#user-details {border: solid 1px #cccccc}.box_profile_info_small_heading {font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}.box_profile_info_large_heading {font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}.bg-content { background-repeat: repeat-y; } .box_profile_info_large_content{font-weight:bold;}.box_profile_info_small_content{font-weight:bold;}.box_profile_info_large_content{font-style:italic;}.box_profile_info_small_content{font-style:italic;}

Save your profile with this skin?



Confirm |
Back
--------------------------------------------

The only thing we entered, was what I extracted from my skin when I had made it.

From:
#user-details { border: none; }
#profile-name {

To:
.section .footer {
background-image: url(http://photos1.hi5.com/0019/725/860/bk5jHS725860-03.gif);
display: block;
height: 30px;
}


That is what we added to his Customize CSS section.


If you look carefully at his profile,
you'll see some parts bolded, italicized wrongly, etc...

I guess it must be a cause of that added line to the top of the CSS.

But I don't know what can be done about it.
I'll try to see if I can remove it.

Thanks.

I just logged into my brother's profile. In his "Customize CSS" I found this strange addition: ----------------------------------
Save your profile with this skin?
---------------------------------- I removed it, and all that is left now, is my Music Player Skin's CSS. But yet, I still have the weird boldness and italics problem.

I just copied the style from "#user-details" to ".section .footer" and everything appeared fine on my profile.

Are any of the boxes above the Style box filled out? This might be adding those extra styles you see.

No,
Absolutely no other boxes are filled other than the "Style: (Optional)" box.

I have seen this before on other person's profiles also.
But I don't have any other links right now.

It happened to my current profile also.
Bu as I said before, I used CSS to override the settings and made them normal.

* { font-weight: normal; }

.box_profile_info_small_heading { font-weight: bold !important;}

.box_profile_info_small_content { font-weight: normal !important;}

Hi again Liz,

Have you gotten this issue on the list of fixes already?

And have you any idea if or when a fix may be released?

The irregularly styled text does not seem to be that much of an issue right now.

I will look around and see if it still occurs with other persons profiles.

But definitely, it would be good if we could get the missing h2 headers fixed.

I see that the new milestone has started rolling out already.
But I haven't seen any fixes being made.

Please don't forget about this topic Liz.

Thanks,
-Andrew
