A dented spider like a snow drop white

Portent in little, assorted death and blight
Like the ingredients of a witches' broth?—
The beady spider, the flower like a froth,
And the moth carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,
The blue prunella every child's delight.
What brought the kindred spider to that height?
(Make we no thesis of the miller's plight.)
What but design of darkness and of night?
Design, design! Do I use the word aright?

Hello ever closer union!

I think that poem also goes by the name Design in a different version. It's one of Frost's darker poems and I quite like it for that reason. I can't open another window now to link to it as I'm balancing my 3G thing precariously in a car park and will probably lose this page if I chance a second window - but you might check it out.

Hi Kate P, yeah In White is the original version of Design I think. We studied Design for the leaving cert all those (two) years ago, it's one of my favourite poems. Although it makes me very nervous about all this empty white space malarkey... What but design of darkness to appal?

I didn't write the CSS, only modified it. It's a huge CSS. Is there a thread I can read on forumotion?

Guest

I deactivated the basic CSS there in Admin/Display/Colours/CSS.

I also tried what he told me to do there and take out your comments /*EVM */ but that didn't work either.

Here's the thread

Do you think the gap might be caused by the little extra button at the bottom? can that be deleted ? Sorry if this is a silly question. Embarassed

What little extra button? It could so it's not a silly question at all. Are you using Internet Explorer? Ok I think I can find out if you are. Do you know how to do a screenprint?

Open Paint - mspaint
Scroll so you can see the little button you mention
Hit the PRT SCR key
Go to paint and press EDIT/PASTE
voilá - you'll see ... Smile

then save and upload file ..

It's this button, I think, cactus is referring to...

Cactus is this the button you mean that ArdT is mentioning and can you see it and where exactly - inside a thread or outside on the portal?

I can't see it - it must be a Firefox/IE difference.

Subject: Re: Massive empty space below page Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:42 am

That button is visible with IE. Does not appear in the page source though. Go figure.

Subject: Re: Massive empty space below page Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:45 am

Audi, did you check the Delta Quadrant to see if it is the same ?

Never mind. I checked it and NO white space.

Guest

Sorry I was having a sandwich.

Two RSS feed modules switched off and still white space - could it be the CERN white hole impinging on our forum ... ? Maybe that youtube link ...

What's that about the IE button?

Guest

Last RSS feed switched off and still the white space ...

Guest

Will we try a different skin completely?

Well? What feed thingy in what admin panel?

I think Forumotion is generating bullshit HTML.

Open the page source and search for 'display results' it's there twice, but not on rendered page. Rolling Eyes

Guest

Does anyone else feel like a cartoon character that has fallen off the edge of the world and then poings back up (like a diver in reverse) when they automatically scroll down, realise the proximity of the abyss and then scroll back up again? I feel a bit like Wyle E Koyote dropping off some chunk of canyon and living tell another Acme tale. Great stuff. And it absolves me completely from having to make meaningful responses to intelligent questions about feed thingies in admin panels. It's great to be a cartoon superhero...

Ok - the Delta Quadrant has no problems like this white space one ... I'm going to remove all the CSS code now to see what happens ...

Thanks cactus - you tried ! Ths white space seems to be gone now ... did EVM fix it last night in the middle of the night?

Look at your keyboard cactus at the keys on the top right hand side - do you see near the DEL key one with

PRTSCR
SYSRQ

The white space was still there when I posted that this morning. I kind of miss it now. I can see the printscreen key.

Its still there on the home page, with the select topics or posts option thingy.

Have you got Paint open? You know Paint don't you - the Microsoft painting program? Why don't you open that? It'll be nice.

You're right - it is still there in the Homepage ...

Subject: Re: Massive empty space below page Tue Aug 26, 2008 12:20 pm

Space is gone on this page (page 2) but not on page 1. I did nothing.
I'm sure it's a HTML generation problem.
