I recently tried to go in and create a wiki page for myself, and I keep getting the same error.
In fact, I get this error on almost every page I try and load in the wiki. If this is an ongoing problem, I would be willing to host the wiki on my own personal domain of devilishduck.com. Let me know if this can be fixed, and if not, if you'd like me to create another wiki for everyone's use. |

It happens when the wiki uses too much bandwidth. Now you're private hosting will need to be ready for several thousand people logging in everyday and shifting gigabytes of information - take a look at the main NS forums to get an idea of the kind of traffic to expect. |

yay, a problem I actually know how to solve. It's simple really, just wait about two minutes and try again. It should work and if it doesn't then just try again in another two minutes... If you try to save something and it does that, no worries, just hit back and wait for a bit and retry. All your stuff will stay there. :D |

It happened to me when I started out. I guess I figured something out, because I have one now, albeit one that I am too lazy to put any work into. Esternarx's suggestion seems like something I would do, so go for it! ;) |

I'm having some trouble with my wiki site for The Seceded South. I made my own little info box for my presidents, however I wanted to put stuff outside the box as well. Well I did that, but the stuff outside of the info box won't ....what's the word....wrap around the box (?). All it does is form a nice little paragraph above the box, and I'ed like it to all "meld" together. the wiki page is HERE and if you scroll down to my President's section I think you'll see what I mean.\ Can anyone help? |

Perhaps moving the President's section to its own article will help? I mean, do not use the "==" tags, that might have something to do with it. |

I dunno, but what I want it to look like, is the same thing that happens when you hide the menu at the toop of the page. See how the "The Reunified Confederacy of The Seceded South" moves up and around the nation info bow with the flag? Well that's the same effect I'm looking for in the President's section...both of them. I want to have the small info box but I want the paragraphs to form around the info box instead on having the paragraph falling under or on top of it. :wacko: I really hope I'm making sense here. |

I dunno :lol: What I am getting is the table with the info inside it, and then under the table (outside of it) is just added information. Now usually, on other pages it wraps itself around the box, but for some reason this info is placing itself either directly above the info box or directly under it. It won't for some reason wrap itself around the box, and it's annoying the T totally hell out of me :angry: |

I tried for a good thirty minutes to fix your problem NRE, but, to no avail. Sorry. I'm gonna use this post to shamelessly advertize my own wiki. I am trying to make it visually pleasing and so I added tons of pics for the provinces and I plan on adding a pic for each chapter of history too. What do you guys think? My Wiki |

Thanks E, even if you weren't able to help. It's funny you tried, because I was going to PM you about it. I noticed while editing my wiki page of TheNeoDynasty, that you had a infobox which look like you did it yourself, so I was hoping you could help...sigh.... Well perhaps someone out there can help. I mean if all else fails, I can just use the leader infobox that they provide, it's just I can only put in four blocks of info and that's it. As for your wiki page....it looks pretty sweet, nice job. EDIT: OH SWEET GLORIOUS (YOUR FAVORITE PERSON HERE)......I FIXED IT..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....I ACTUALLY FIXED IT........*DANCES LIKE A GIGGLY SCHOOL GIRL* ..... :unsure: ......you may all carry on now..... |

I was trying to get my province maps and county lists in the same table and I figured out the answer to your problem. You just have to "float" the table. But when I went to fix it, I saw that you already had. Good job, NRE. |
