Forum:The unofficial Off-topic image infobox

Here is an unofficial infobox for adding hotlinked images to your userpage, without the need of uploading them to the image database. Have these images sized correctly, then simply place their URLs into the Image section of the "template". This way, you'll =Infobox Sample=

=Infobox Code= ''' {| class="infobox" style="border: 5px #42779e solid; ; float: {LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF PAGE}; padding: 7px; width:290px;" '''
 * colspan="2" style="text-align:center; "|{IMAGE NAME HERE}
 * colspan=2 style="text-align: center;"|{PUT YOUR IMAGE HOTLINK HERE}
 * valign="top" style="; width:120px"|What is this?
 * {PUT YOUR TEXT HERE}
 * valign="top" style="; width:120px"|Explain in detail
 * {PUT YOUR TEXT HERE}
 * }
 * {PUT YOUR TEXT HERE}
 * valign="top" style="; width:120px"|Explain in detail
 * {PUT YOUR TEXT HERE}
 * }
 * }
 * }

=Discussion= I will go ahead & tell you this: You'll need to straighten out the coding if you decide to copy & paste it right from the forum. Or you could reach into the coding of the forum itself & take it from there, where it is already pre-straightened.

In the all-caps text surrounded by {these}, you need to specify what you want. It is necessary near the top, when deciding which side of the page you want the template to be on. ("left", or "right")

I would have made this more user-friendly, but this isn't an official template infobox. Once it catches on for users, new users will be able to just pull it from other user pages, therefore rendering this forum useless. Spread the "template" !!!
