want a scrollbox with the scroll is on the left side of the box?
just add this %elements in the selector that have a scroll..

direction:rtl;

let say you already have a home_guestbook with a scrollbar.. just add the %elements
to your home_guestbook code

ex.

#home_guestbook {

width: 358px;

overflow-x: auto;

height: 475px;

overflow-y: auto;

direction:rtl;

}

note: the contents will be read backwards or change position.
(userlogo image and submit/preview buttons on guestbook will shift from left to right side.)

to be able not to change the position of the contents of guestbook,
 just add this code..

.replybodytext, .replybox textarea, td #cell_submit {direction:ltr;}


but still the userlogo image will remain to the rightside..
i can't still figure what selector to that *sigh*..
i'm using the .userboxlogo selector but still wont work..

anywayz, you can also put that %elements in any box on your page that you set in overflow..
just make sure that the contents will not be read backwards..


and for the scrollbox code in html ..


<div style="background-color:white; color:black; font-size:12px; width:300px; height:100px; overflow:scroll; padding:2px;border:1px solid silver;direction:rtl"><p>text goes here</p></div>




note: just contain the contents inside the tag <p> so that it
will not be read backwards..

text goes here,  this is the left scroll of the html scrollbox enjoy

update: THIS DON'T WORK WITH FF 3

It seems that the Guestbook is an important part of the page for many people, and they want to customize it differently from the rest of the page. Actually, it's very easy to do this, and that's what I will explain in this post.

The Guestbook can be displayed in two ways:
- the one on your main page is placed inside a div with id home_guestbook;
- the Guestbook page (Your_UserID.multiply.com/guestbook), where the replies are inside a div with a class guestbook.


In order to change the properties in both places, you need to use both selectors. So, if you want to change the font size in both places, you can use this code in your Custom CSS:

#home_guestbook, .guestbook {
font-size: 16px;
}


But if you want to change the textarea only in the Guestbook on your main page, simply add #home_guestbook before the textarea selector, like this:

color: white;
}


If you want ro remove the message "NNN comments were deleted from this guestbook" you can add this code to the end of your Custom CSS (it won't affect other posts):

.guestbook .replydeleted { display: none; }

Have fun! 

Latino Tags is one place that you do not want to use image codes from, not only on your site, but especially on your or someone else's GUESTBOOK.

The image included is just one that you may see in a guesbook but it will have latino tags included on the image.  (This one does not have the advert)  This image alone would not be a problem.  If it's clickable back to Latino Sites, you have the code from their site.

There are MANY images and codes for them at that site. 

http://www.latinotags.com/

You do not want to use them.


The code installs a banner across the top of the guestbook and when you click on "view all" there's and advert installed on your page, upper left corner. I don't know yet what it will do if posted as a reply in a thread.  So don't try it.

Please pass this along by linking to this page  so that this doesn't spread any further.  We've had to help people remove this as it comes to our attention.

This has been reported to Multiply.  They were successful with having other sites repair their codes so this wouldn't happen here.  Perhaps this can be cleared up also.  But until we hear otherwise, best not to use them.

If you DO find this on your site, CLICK HERE for removal instructions.

Unless you have set your main page layout to Linear View instead of Boxes View in the settings, you can almost completely customize your main page.

First, you can edit your Page Title and boxes titles after you click on Customize My Site (you find this link in the rail, below your headshot) by simply clicking on Edit in the upper-right corner of these boxes. If you can't, please look at my previous post for a work-around.

You can move the section boxes also. Just 'grab' them by the Move link (click on the link and keep the mouse button pressed and the mouse pointer should change to a little hand indicating that you can grab it) and move it to the place you want it. A dashed frame will appear indicating where the box will be after you release it. If you want to arrange them side-by-side, move it to the bottom-right corner, and it should fit just beside the last one. Do this in order to make two columns then arrange them so each section will be in the place you want it. Be aware that it does not work always: some themes allow only one column, but even in these themes you can organize them in the order that pleases you.

Don't want to show a section in your main page? Simple: click on the Hide link. Made a mistake? Look for Unhide: links at the top yellow bar that shows up while your are in the 'Customization Mode'. The section will show again on your main page but maybe not at the same place, so look all over the page for it and move it again to the right place.

When you finish, either click on the 'Done' button on the top bar or click again on Customize My Site to exit the Customization Mode'.

If you are not using it yet, maybe you will have to download and install a recent version of Firefox, which is much more compatible with Multiply and more secure and better overall.

Large pictures may make the column where the Guestbook is in your main page too wide. Either remove the entry or ask the poster to remove the code. Also, you can add code to your Custom CSS to display a scrollbar instead. And now ou can even disable HTML completely in the comments, take a look at the Guestbook FAQ post for more info.

Moving content boxes only works if your page is in Boxes View (as opposed to Linear View), of course. To change this, go to this page. Also, be aware that some themes only allows 1 column of boxes, so you cannot put them side-by-side to make them smaller. If you want this, you have to choose another base theme. You can see which ones allow 2 columns in the Choose a Theme page.

You realise that 3 years ago I couldn't do any HTML at all, nothing zip nada now of course what am I the HTML expert or something geeze..anyway I'll show you how to do a few simple ones easy ones that evena twit like myself can do.
These are for comments you make of course, anyone can do simple HTML in the  blog compose that's what the buttons are for.
Here goes you ready?
  Do you want bold ? that's easy bold is  this <b> and to stop things being bold do this </b>
Want italics? do this <i> to stop the  italics do this</i>
Strike through or cross out a word ? do this <s> and to stop it do this  </s>
Make a link ...oh gawd they want links lets see now
a link to a web site would be this
   <a href="http://missingbits.multiply.com">a  link to a web site </a>
link is in pink and the code is  orange

To resize a picture just change the numbers so to resize this image
<img src=http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/558/558248u8915bjieg.jpg width= 89  height=88>
 
All you do is change the numbers the higher the numbers the bigger the picture
Like this
<img src=http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/558/558248u8915bjieg.jpg width=138  height=137>
 

See now that's easy isn't it

Oh and I made that image bigger but if you lessen the numbers the image goes smaller ..
Just thought I'd throw that part in for those posting the big images ..size does matter so make em a bit smaller

to make font bigger
<font size="3">to make <font size="5">font bigger </font>

 

If your page is broken, full of crazy links try taking the extra codes out for the images you have put in they will be <a href > all you do is remove those letters and the links the www. parts see how the links are pink at the top of this post ..get rid of the link part that's all you do keep the image but get rid of the yukky links messing up your page

This is a very simple tutorial that I wrote almost 2 years ago Note: You can use HTML anywhere that you can post a comment or in your "About Me" section  the Welcome box, or when you post a Link or even when you post a video Do NOT use HTML in your CSS code box it wont work and will break your CSS code 

• Large pictures may make the column where the Guestbook is in your main page too wide. Either remove the entry or ask the poster to remove the code. Also, you can add this code to your Custom CSS to display a scrollbar when it happens:

          #home_guestbook .replybody { overflow:auto; }

          or, if you don't want it to display any image at all:

          #home_guestbook .replybody img { display: none; }

• How to remove/delete messages from your Guestbook:

            At your main page, you won't see the links to delete comments or edit your own replies in your Guestbook. To do this, you have to go to the Guestbook page. You can get there using one of these ways:
            - at your main page, click on the link below your Guestbook "View All NNN Comments"
            - use this link: http://Your_Username.multiply.com/guestbook (replace Your User_Name with your actual Multiply username)

            If you cannot find the delete link for the offending graphic, you can try this: use the delete link from another comment and try to modify it to delete what you want, like this: get the delete link from the previous or next entry (right-click on the link and use 'Copy Link Location' on Firefox or the analogous command in your browser), copy it to your browser's location bar (the one where you type the http://...) and modify it to reflect the entry you want to delete.

For instance, the delete link to my 250th entry in my guestbook is something like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+250?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

So, if I want to delete the next entry, I simply copy it to the my browser's location bar, replace 250 with 251 like this:
javascript:confirmLink("Are you sure you want to delete this reply?", "/item/delete-reply/lfom:guestbook:1+251?xurl=http%3A%2F%2Flfom.multiply.com%2F&usertoken=manylettershere")

and press the ENTER (or RETURN) key. A confirmation dialog should appear, then click on OK.

• Also, you can edit the number of comments displayed at your main page and the access (privacy) level if you click on Customize My Site and then on the Edit link found in the Guestbook box (see the image below).

• You can now completely disable HTML in your Guestbook replies, just edit it in your main page (see the picture below).

• If you are still experiencing problems about deleting stuff in your Guesbook and your are using Firefox, you can go to its menu and select: View -> Page Style -> No Style (look to a similar option in your browser if you're using another program) to disable CSS in your page so you can use the delete links to remove any offending material. Then you can enable it again.

• If you can't see your Guestbook and you didn't hide it using the Hide link while your main page is in 'Customization Mode', probably you've set your Homepage to 'Linear View'. Return it to 'Boxes View' to see your Guestbook again:

            http://multiply.com/setup/pages/home

• If you try to add HTML code in a comment at someone else's Guestbook that isn't your contact, the HTML will be removed. Of course, the same happens in your Guestbook for people that aren't in your contact list. (DEPRECATED: does not work this way anymore, if you don't want HTML in your Guestbook, disable it completely as explained above)
