Always good to know that it helped!

Yes, it certainly helped me how to put things where I wanted them to go.
Hmm, by the way, do you know any way to place the .description of gallery folder back to the right side from
deviations as it had been before they did change the thumbnail size?

This should help you to fix the issue
Gallery Changes IISome of you already did realize that there recently have been changes to the galleries again. That means that it will affect all gallery skins that have been created so far. Some more, some less.
And it also means that people will tell you that the skins don't work right anymore - yay!
Because this bugged me way too much, i tried to look up the reasons for this earlier today. Below is a list of the things i found out so far.
It doesn't mean that you will experience the same issues, because it always depends on how you coded your gallery skins or in which way someone else didΒ it for you.
Details
It seems that there are some differences of how the detail section of the deviations will be displayed for several browsers.
Firefox centers the whole detail section without any weirdness, when i look at the same gallery with IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera Β the details are now aligned at the left and for prints it is even more messed up.
Not sure if this

Thank you.
That did the trick.Β I just hadn't thought of using float at all.

Sometimes we rather think too complex than giving simple solutions a try

Yes, indeed. I've been trying with absolute position and all kinds of paddings and margins, but all it did was move the description area around, but the thumbs still stayed underneath and not on the right side where I wanted them to go.

It's already rather old and i have no idea if it still very much fitting to the new dA code, but always great to hear that it is still helpful!

It explains the basics and I think it is still suitable for dA.

This was amazingly helpful to me; I think my favorite part about it is that it's not a template, it's an actual tutorial and a valuable resource.

It's a general resource that explain several things about the Code and what you should keep in mind. I have made a tutorial where i show how to code, but it's just a specific example, no idea if that will help: [link]
