Sheri, that sounds like a bug: the built-in Squidoo modules should work.

If they’re misbehaving, I’d file a bug report.

(Alternatively, try uploading a larger image; perhaps they’ll now accept images bigger than 400×400. As a general rule of thumb, larger images take longer to load but scale up to larger sizes without looking fuzzy.)

Which is a roundabout way of saying, “Er, I don’t know, sorry!”

Thanks for this, Ellen.
One thing I have not been able to find, however, is how to get my polaroid module images fixed. Ideas?

Thanks for the explanation GreekGeek because I have been trying to wrap my head around how to fix my modules, I didn’t realize that the fixed borders were going to cause a problem on mobile devices so now I will have to go back and remove those. I will check out the squidtools fix also. Thanks again.

You’ve done it again…thanks for all your help figuring out the latest Squidoo shake up! Nice to discover a couple more of your Squidoo tutorial lenses too

Sorry, you caught me in mid-edit. See the post again: I’ve now added links to SquidTool’s post announcing a fix (yay!) plus a quick tutorial from Annie telling how to update our old SquidTools layouts with the fix. I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, but Annie’s got it working!

Thanks for the great trick in Excel. I’ve been wondering how to see this type of list for years without having to go to each lens.

Is there a way to specify a min/max size? The string of conditions might get complicated but it would be interesting to have as an option.

All this Excel stuff and collecting information and stats is definitely something I need to get a hold of for myself.
Thank you for helping us all out, it is much appreciated.

Thanks for the tips, you are on the ball as always. The clear works perfectly with Squidtools code.

I have Squidtools code in the text box of the Squidoo YouTube module as well, and it now results in the video showing alongside the text box instead of underneath as before. The clear fixes this easily.

It’s still annoying that having re-sorted or added modules to a lens, the sidebar disappears to underneath the modules.
