Could it be possible for us to have text boxs that go next to each other and not just above or below each other? Just an idea/random suggestion. Not sure how this would work out but it seems like something that could be looked into maybe?
Columns allow you to do this. 
Is this what you meant?

Is this what you meant?Not sure... I didnt know about it though, I mostly use what you can access with the post buttons :v
But that seems rather limited for text space width wise.
The text you will enter in columns will spread out to the full width of the text where allowed. You'd always using the full space possible with this code, it doesn't narrow them down to super slim boxes, no worries!

Hm, I guess this is something like what I had in mind I guess
I'd like something like this as well. I have tried the column format but it doesn't look very nice. I've used the playstyle chart instead but it wont let me use less than four columns. Could we maybe have something like the playstyle chart that is blank and had have from two to four columns or a way to choose less columns for the playstyle chart if we don't want to use all four?
The playstyle chart should probably automatically dump blank columns. Something I will have to look into.
What sort of "didn't look very nice" were you encountering with the columns, Ms_Draca? I know the formatting is off on some templates, but I'm not sure which templates.

I'm using 'good clean kill' for the profile 'Estelle and Stella'. There wasn't enough room between the columns to really tell that there were columns. I worked around this at first by making the right one justified to the right and the left justified to the left but that didn't give much space between either and was messy looking. At the moment I have what was two columns on two pages instead and the stuff that was below the columns on a third page. It's still a work in progress.
I added some default padding to the columns for all character profiles. This should make things look a little bit better! It may take a bit of cache-clearing and reloading for it to become visible for you though.
The added padding could be a tad bit wider, but it is much better than it was before. Thank you.
You might try adding a blank column between ones that you want the padding to be wider for?
Adding an extra column between them did help with the spacing. The only thing still a bit odd is that the first column is much wider than the other one. Additional columns conform to the width of the second column and get narrower as more are added. The first column gets a little narrower when there are three or more columns and the spacing on the other columns between words increases. Columns added before the first column also conform to the narrower columns. For two columns things are fine, but with more columns things get squished. After some more work with the columns it appears that the column with the most text ends up wider than the others.

Ah, so this may be the reason!
I had worked on my profile for a week, and I already worked around the idea that default padding was nonexistent. I basically make transparent pngs of nothing to add spacing if I like, and I recommend it to the fellow who is talking about the space being off in his.
Since the added padding has basically destroyed portions of my layout (though I have been working to tweak it back), I was curious if it would be too much to ask if we can adjust the padding?
[edit] To clarify, I am asking ifoptions to tweak the amount of padding are out of the question.
Wow, what a stunning profile Adelise!
It seems to me like you are running into multiple issues here, not just padding. It's extra complicated because it's entirely different between browsers. Here's a screenshot from Chrome:
The image in the center doesn't exist in Chrome without padding. This is probably because images are set to be capped off at 95% of the width of their containing element (to make sure they don't fall out of the edge of profiles when they are huge and people forget/don't know how to resize). Since columns had no intrinsic width of their own before padding, the image is becoming 95% of nothing and vanishing.
In neither case do your transparent spacing images at the top of each column come into play at all.
In Firefox on the other hand, the browser interpretes the 95% rule completely differently, and everything still looks hunky-dorey. Screenshot:
Personally, my fix would be to add 20px of padding to the left side of that lovely middle image, then place it into the beginning of the first column and align it to the right. That way you end up with accurate spacing between the left/right of that image, and it should remain visible in all browsers.
In short: It might, might, might be possible to add custom padding to columns. Maybe might might maybe. But even so, it wouldn't solve your cross-browser problem!

Thanks for answering, Kim!
Ah, what a bad artist I was. Did not even consider cross platforms >_<
I will test some of your suggestions to see if it works out better.
Please do let me know if/when you manage that correction. I'd like to show this profile to some people but I'd rather wait until it looks the way you want it to.
