How can I get a bit of a space between links on my profile page here at DPC? I have three links in my "Biography" section, but they come up so close together, and I'm trying to space them out a bit more, but I can't figure out how to do that.

you can type the characters "& n b s p" (without the quote marks or the spaces between) as often as you need to to get the desired gap. "nbsp" stands for non-breaking space.

I have used the feature 4x between "feature" and "4x"
Odd, it's not working here...

| It's showing up as the typed characters though, not as a space. ??? |

Right. Nevertheless it's HTML code. Don't know why it doesn't work here; we use it all the time in the poetry forums to indent lines.

I don't think it full HTML that we have access to in our portfolio area, more like bb code...i think. But here is how you do it. Use a spacer jpg (see my profile).
In between your links do the following.
1. right after your first link click on the  button and use this URL //images.dpchallenge.com/images_portfolio/22970/thumb/589097.jpg
2. Post your second link and do the same.
3. Repeat steps 1&2 as many times as needed.
This is what the spacer jpg looks like  <---hard to see here, but it will NOT be visible on your profile page.

Thank you, Scott. That did it!
I created my own spacer gif, and it works perfectly.

The use of {pre}{/pre} tags will preserve spacing for you (replace the { } with [ ] ).
1 (5 spaces)
2 (5 spaces)
3 (5 spaces)

Hmmm. Yeah, that adds spaces, but it also moves the next link to a new line, which I don't want.
What does "pre" stand for? |

Ah cool. To see what the pre tags look like, hit "quote" on this post and they will be visible to you. Great solution, Glad!

"Preserve", I think. I've tried placing the pre tag in various spots...you're right it does add a new line at the beginning. There may be other solutions - I just happened to remember this one. :)
ETA - Thanks Robert. :-)

Preserve, eh? Sounds like you're making jam or something :) Thanks! |

You're welcome. Basically it keeps the extra white space from being wiped out. |
