How can I stop my comments from going behind a screenshot?

If one of the players has posted a screenshot and you add some commentary nearby then you might find that your comment section site behind the picture, hiding either the opening or closing quote and generally looking a bit rubbish.

See the example below:-



Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us Wow, look at this lovely screenshot of some troops running about. Very informative

I agree, this is a very nice screenshot indeed.

Most infomative

Oh no! My comment is getting hidden behind the screenshot. You cannot see the closing quote!!

However can I fix it!!!!??!?!




Ahem...

This is dead easy to fix, but you need to manually correct it. I cannot tell when you are commentating next to a picture, you'll have to use the Live Preview option to check for it. If you forget, or miss one then don't worry as you can still perform this fix even after publishing the game.

In the example above I used the standard Commentating procedure of highlighting my commentary and clicking the quote button. This gave me text that looked like this:-

<blockquote><div>This is my comment</div></blockquote>

If you are commentating next to am image thats on the right you need to change this to

<blockquote class=right><div>This is my comment</div></blockquote>

Likewise, you can change that 'right' to 'left' if the image is on the left.

See how it now looks with that slightly amended section:-

I agree, this is a very nice screenshot indeed.

It looks so much better now that the commentary is positioned properly.

Good job all round!

well i had a case in which it will look more rubbish in case when this fix is applied.

and it's not a problem for me that closing quote gets under picture as far text doesn't get there.

Hi Duke,

If you let me know which entry it is I'll take a look.
