Yeah, I'm with atrius. How the images are aligned within the post are much more different than one would think at first. Basically, here's the difference: standard [img] [tt]Greetings to the epic discussion thread. What can you expect, well... Epically awesome discussions I guess. Heck, we even have pictures every now and then. I mean, look! It's a THUNDERSTORM! ___________________ [ X ] [ - ] [ B ] [ A ] [ W H P ] [ K U I ] [ S G C ] [ E T ] [ U ] [ R ] Here I am talkin [[u] E [/u]] -BAM, lightning strike, baby! See how cool that was? Oh yeah, babes, that looks leet.[/tt] Now, I dunno about you, but when I'm making a post and it contains in X-BAWKS HUGE PIC, I prefer it to NOT double the length of my post by forcing everything around it to be above or below it. The solution? Organisation! Remember, computers are idiots. No exceptions. Just because it makes sense doesn't mean that a computer knows how to do it. So a SEPERATE command is needed to make this asthetically pleasing. [tt] ___________________ [ X ] Welcome to the True Epic Discussion thread. [ - ] We here at the epic discussion thread like [ B ] to use a lot of pictures. However, we [ A ] believe that pictures and text should [ W H P ] Work together. As you can plainly see [ K U I ] beside me, Chuck Norris, Kamina, and freaking [ S G C ] Leluche have joined forces in support of this [ E T ] thread. That's better than a stupid [ U ] picture of commonplace weather phenomenon, [ R ] EDT. Yeah. Hell, I hear Usain Bolt's even [[u] E [/u]] trying to join us, though he's already probably moved on by now, when you think about it. Man, that guy is fast.[/tt] As you can see, it's nice and neat and aligned prettily. Of course, then you have things like: [list] [*][tt]Epic Listing Thread. ___________________[/tt] [*][tt]This Thread is comprised of ordered lists. [ X ] [/tt] [*][tt]It is affiliated with the TEST, thus [ - ] opposed to the EST. [ B ] [/tt] [*][tt]Usain Bolt was INDEED here, but he left like [ A ] three seconds later. [ W H P ] [/tt] [*][tt]Instead, bow down to the nice picture of our [ K U I ] glorious queen, Role. [ S G C ] [/tt] [*][tt]She standing triumphantly over her most [ E T ] recent victory. Or sitting. Or something. [ U ] It's one of those randomly changing pics she's [ R ] so fond of. [[u] E [/u]][/tt] [*][tt]Of course, we put in on the other side, because if we didn't then our epic list would be all fugly, and of course we just can't have that, now, can we? Role'd kill us![/tt] [*][tt]No she wouldn't. Her motto [i]is[/i] "Why kill, when you can torture?", after all.[/tt] [/list] As you can plainly see, there is indeed a need for such things, you'll see most often that Character sheets require any pictures to be aligned to the right so as to not disrupt the rest of the character sheet. Pics aligned to the left are great for, say, storytelling. You're doing a clan lore post, and it's a LONG one. To make it NOT a solid brick wall of text, though, you put a nice pastel-shaded picture next to the plot-related point that the picture is of. Aligned to the left, of course, so that it doesn't interrupt the story, but rather blends in with the story. [img] cannot do that. Can NEVER do that. Dunno WHY we'd ever need an [imgcenter], so I really see no point to ever getting it. I mean, really - you can work around left and right and resolution is ignored, but any fancy formatting you try to do with center has one HUGE flaw - on any width EXCEPT the one you used, it'll look like crap. So yeah, pretty much EVERY RESOLUTION BUT THE ONE YOU USED will make the post eye-gougingly disgusting. As such, just stick with left and right inserts. For really long stories, you may want to alternate left and right inserts, and possibly use a, oh, say Justified aligned text Can we do that, atrius? Or do we run into the same problems with resolution?
