=== Odd line ===
[[User:JaimeS]] There's an odd line above the bullet point, because the previous heading was deleted when the page was changed. Can one of these two changes be made to remove it:
 
1. <nowiki>Change the''' <hr> '''line to''' <br /> ''' ("hr" creates a horizontal ruled line).</nowiki>
 
2. Keep the "hr" but add the original heading back in above by by copying these lines right above the "hr" line: <pre>
 
<div class="white-border" style="text-align: center">'''MEpedia announcement(s) for all registered users:'''</div>
 
</pre>
(don't copy the "pre" tag lines)
That should sort the problem. I added the extra "white-border" part for the dark timeless skin only - to get the border color to be white instead of bright blue which looks weird over dark grey.  ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 22:38, October 26, 2021 (UTC)

User:JaimeS There's an odd line above the bullet point, because the previous heading was deleted when the page was changed. Can one of these two changes be made to remove it:

1. Change the''' <hr> '''line to''' <br /> ''' ("hr" creates a horizontal ruled line).

2. Keep the "hr" but add the original heading back in above by by copying these lines right above the "hr" line:


<div class="white-border" style="text-align: center">'''MEpedia announcement(s) for all registered users:'''</div>

(don't copy the "pre" tag lines) That should sort the problem. I added the extra "white-border" part for the dark timeless skin only - to get the border color to be white instead of bright blue which looks weird over dark grey. ~Njt (talk) 22:38, October 26, 2021 (UTC)
