advice column ask question view feedback favorite columnist advicenators

Q: okay i wanted to mess around with the new layout stuff, so i chose to use the "your space" layout option and personalize it with colors and fonts etc.. i just finished with it and i was trying to look at my feedback, and the button wont work. did i do something wrong, or is there a problem on the site? helllp
right, okay, I looked at your style and you didn't use any variables, you just cut and copied what the page source was. you need to have "" in the page code somewhere otherwise our server doesn't know where to put your questions and feedback and all that.

go back to edit your style, and find the place where you pasted all your questions and answers in. replace those with this bit of code: "". The server will automatically replace that with your new advice and your feedback whenever someone visits the page.

there's a whole list of variables in the "overall page layout" there that you'll want to read through... like, if you don't have "" it won't update your favorite columnists when you change them. if you don't have "" it won't add new pages as you answer more questions.

keep trying, I admire you for wanting to make your own style. most people on this site have been too intimidated to even go there :)

oh my god i love you so much...thanks a lot

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
