okay I tried a few things. The newer rounded looking boxes seem to work pretty well but I found that it works when you have an image that's less than 400 pixels wide. Have you tried making the image a little smaller in another art program?

i'm trying to float an image above and outside my custom box content holder but it isn't working.
it has worked in the past and i'm a trial and error sort of person, but nothing is working.
if you see my top right custom box, you can see the weird image sort of poking out behind the content holder.
how do i fix this??

Shanlothaer In reply to huskiies [2016-04-28 15:59:57 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure if I'm entirely right considering there isn't much to go off of, but from my experience when the image leaves the content box it means it's too large!
If you have an imagine that's, sayyy, 500x500 or so. If it floats out of the content box, try placing it a few paragraphs above, such as:

"WALL OF TEXT

WALL OF TEXT"

Or you can place it in the middle of a sentence, all it should do is align the text to the opposite side. Such as:

"lorem ipsum I don't know  how this goes rest in peace something something  more text text text here mhhhhhMMMMmmhhhmmmm good sht mhm"

Make sure you're right clicking directly on the image, and selecting to copy a url that looks something like, say this: "orig08.deviantart.net/8b15/f/2… " which is the url of something on my page at the moment that I just tested the code with.
I've been using this same code for a few years now and know some HTML things so if that doesn't work let me know!

I'm using this content holder  and your way doesn't seem to work for me. Could you please help?

Shanlothaer In reply to haIoed [2016-12-17 13:05:32 +0000 UTC]

Here's a few suggestions!
- If the image is too large, try to lower the size by using


-- Change the "px" numbers to a smaller version. ex: a 1200 by 1200 image would be reduced to 200 by 200, though the size can be a bit larger but I recommend between 200-400 pixels at most. A simple trick to figure it out if it isn't even is to open it in, say, Paint Tool SAI, go to Canvas and go to Change Resolution, and make sure "constrain proportions" is checked. I believe you can do this in MS Paint as well in a similar manner.
-- Of course, change "right" to whichever direction you wish, mostly just pay attention to the bold text haha.
- If it still seems to float at the end or outside of the content holder, try placing the code for the image (

) up higher, sometimes you'll have to do it mid-sentence to get it to float properly. It should push the text to the opposite side of the image
If those don't work, you could give me the full code to the custom box you're using (background, content holder and image you're trying to insert) and I can fiddle with it until something works!

haIoed In reply to Shanlothaer [2016-12-17 20:01:00 +0000 UTC]

It doesn't work with either of those suggestions, it just floats inside the custombox.

Shanlothaer In reply to haIoed [2016-12-18 01:40:27 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... are you sure you're typing in the align="right" (or left or whatever) properly?
Also make sure it's not placed too high up in the box or it may not float properly.
Can you show me the image you're trying to use? o:

Well, I'm just testing this out because I'd like to use it later when I actually get a good image I can use for this. For testing purposes, I'm using this photo: bungeshea.com/wp-content/uploa…

Shanlothaer In reply to haIoed [2016-12-18 12:36:28 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see!
Hmm, perhaps trying something with a transparent background might work better, I'm not sure if it's the white box around it or not; I wouldn't have thought of that but it helps to try things I suppose!

Okay so what i was doing wrong is that i had the wrong box code. The floaty image code only works with certain boxes i guess?
So this is the code for the box:
