There was this request recently where the user noted that placeholders appear even for small images, if the img tag did not specify the size of the image. The user suggested that the UI for placeholders should include a warning and that the FAQ should mention that.

The approved answer pointed out that FAQ 259 mentions that; however, the first FAQ ( Read more... )

FAQ #40 has various suggestions of what to do when my friends page does not display correctly.

If the cause of the problem is an unusually wide photo, it'd be helpful to suggest switching to a Journal Style that handles these well, and to list a few styles that do e.g. "Flexible Squares" or "Generator".

( archived text )

FAQ 40 (omg my page is displaying wrong *flail*) needs a few changes, especially now that there's been a change to the way the HTML cleaner deals with tables.

Yeah, I know I already posted about FAQ #40, but I just realised that the FAQ doesn't talk about comments with non-cleaned bad HTML either. This might come down to a bug in the HTML cleaner, but there might always be cases where this can't be caught, so it would probably be a good idea to mention it. (See the entry referenced in this support ( Read more... )
