Hello,
I go by the tag Larue lately (sometimes Lady Larue/Blue Larue/The Larue), so sup! I played quite a bit of LoL and HoN back in the day (both since beta practically), but I've been playing DotA2 on and off for about a year now. I'm extremely rusty due to DotA2 coming out in my last year of college, but now with a stable job I am ready to play DotA2 all the damn time. I am kind of anxious about solo queue, because I am not the bestest player out there. I primarily play hard supports (mainly Lich/Plague/Sona). My strengths are warding, buying courier (totally a skill), and doing my best to protect the carry and let him gain levels and farm. My weaknesses are that I have a hard time micro-ing and using my active items during teamfights. You know, I'm that guy that forgets they have a wand or a mech and die miserably to things I probably could have survived/saved other people. My main interest is to play with nice folk who are gonna be constructive and won't be afraid to let me know what I could have done better.

My recommendation is just to get mumble installed and jump on in. Depending on the day you can find random groups of folks playing. I'm normally in the GW2 chanel (playing that between matches with some friends) so jump down and say hi! |

All the knowledge is available here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
However, learning how to use that knowledge is a separate thing entirely. I'm terrible at it, so I can't provide too much help. |

I think whatever HTML I was trying to use was just derping hard. Not sure why. Its okay. I will just give myself a pretty avatar and pretend I am good at internets...

Haha I got the image to show up, but I was trying to be super fancy like binary. My html skills have disappeared since school. Real world working hasn't let me use them often enough

There are some special CSS class names you need to know in order to modify your post layout, and it's all tied to your user#.
If you hover over your user name to the left side of one of your posts the tooltip will show your user number [e.g. FallenElf86 (71) or binaryatrocity(1)]. Once you've got that number the rest is pretty easy, your post layout consists of "sidebar_#" and "topbar_#". For example, fallenelf86 could do something like this: Header: <style type="text/css">
.topbar71_1
{
background-color:purple!important;
}
.topbar71_2
{
background: gray!important;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px white;
padding-left: 8px;
}
.sidebar71
{
background-color:yellow!important;
}
.sidebar71 div.smallFonts
{
border: solid blue;
border-width: 1px!important;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 6px;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px black;
}
.mainbar71
{
border-width: 0px!important;
background: #1f1f1f!important;
}
.mainbar71 div.main
{
background: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4);
color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
<div class="main"> Footer: </div> Of course this is an insanely obnoxious purple and yellow layout but it clearly shows you how the different parts of your post are separated. Of course there is tons more you can do (change the way the quote/code box looks, all sorts of stuff), if you need help with anything in particular just shoot me a PM. Post Layouts are one thing AcmlmBoard always did right. That username number is actually how you link to a profile as well (like I did to fallenelf86 above and right here) by doing [ user = # ] (without spaces). Have fun! Just a few notes: -Notice TOPBAR is split into _1 and _2, _1 is above your user info, _2 is above the post itself. -SmallFonts = the text area, so in sidebar that effects just the square with your postcount, in mainbar it effects the post text itself -Notice all of the !importants. This overrides the default for that class if it's already declared in the themes CSS, so if you try something and it isn't showing up, try adding that. |
