::::I second this suggestion. A standard width of 300px would be perfect. [[User:Hadal|Hadal]] 16:32, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)

==Image position==

There is now acres of white space next to the picture at the top of this page (at least on my not-excessively-high-res screen). A similar thing is occuring at [[Hutton Inquiry]]. Is this due to the new image markup? Could it be changed so that the text wraps around the pictures like it used to... I think it is less ugly that way. [[User:Pcb21|Pete/Pcb21]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|(talk)]] 08:23, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:It still wraps around the pictures just like it used to for me. While you're waiting for the techies to arrive, perhaps you should say what operating system and browser you're using... those are usually the first questions. (What I did to the Hutton Inquiry must look really bad on your machine, sorry!). [[User:Fabiform|fabiform]] | [[User talk:Fabiform|talk]] 09:10, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::IE 5.5 on Windows NT. (It doesn't look great - but I am slowly learning not to fly off the handle about these things - if something needs to be fixed then it will be soon enought) [[User:Pcb21|Pete/Pcb21]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|(talk)]] 09:15, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:This was causing the problem: <tt><nowiki><br clear=all></nowiki></tt> It was inserted when Hutton's picture was moved to the left. I have removed it, and now the text should wrap properly. --[[User:Minesweeper|Minesweeper]] 09:17, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::I left it there when I moved the pic to the right again assuming it served a useful purpose... sorry. But you said the pic looked all wrong on the village pump as well? [[User:Fabiform|fabiform]] | [[User talk:Fabiform|talk]] 09:32, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:::Post hard refresh (ctrl+f5) it now appears fine on both this and the Hutton page. I don't know if there has been a change on this page or if it was just the refresh that sorted something. Thanks for all your help guys. [[User:Pcb21|Pete/Pcb21]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|(talk)]] 10:04, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::::Oddly, it seems I have to hard refresh every time I come to this page to get the correct layout. i.e. I load the page, get whitespace, hard refresh, no whitespace. Something local to me? Something squidy? Something with the new image code? [[User:Pcb21|Pete/Pcb21]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|(talk)]] 12:11, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

==Code for pics in a column==

Help, please, with putting 5 pics in a column on the page. In [[Sistine Chapel]] I need to know the new code to put the 5 pics in the same vertical arrangement as you see on the page now.<br>

Thanks.<br>

:I tried a version, leaving the <nowiki><div></nowiki> in. Personally I would probably have kept the previous version, it looked great already. -- User:Docu

::Thanks for your help, that's exactly what I wanted (and I'm sorry I made you type it all in!). I wanted to change to the new code because if we have a mixture of the old and the new look in different articles, then (IMHO) Wikipedia is going to look amateur.<br>

::Will anyone else tell me if they think a mixture of the two pic styles (not within the same article, of course) is OK?

::[[User:Arpingstone|Adrian Pingstone]] 13:11, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:::Please don't post screenshots of wikitext. Just surround the text with &lt;pre> and &lt;/pre>. Especially not as a 43 KB JPEG. -- [[User:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]] 13:18, Feb 2, 2004 (UTC)

::::Sorry, screenshot removed.<br>

::::[[User:Arpingstone|Adrian Pingstone]] 16:09, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:::::Shouldn't that be <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>? - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 17:03, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

::::::Either way, they have basically the same function. &lt;pre> is better for preserving line breaks, and uses a fixed rather than proportional font. e.g.

<pre>

<div style="float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-right:10px; width:200px; text-align:center">

[[image:sistine.chapel.entire.500pix.jpg|200px|none|thumb|''The interior of the Sistine Chapel'']]

</pre>
