Anchor Links aren't working properly
Aug 13 2010, 5:37 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 13 2010, 5:45 PM EDT
I followed the directions that are listed on the Anchor Links page. Once I tested them out after saving, it didn't work properly. I visited the Wetpaint sites listed that used these and theirs are working just fine while mine won't. So can someone please help with my problem? Do you find this valuable?

Why don't you post a link to the page so I can take a look? Do you find this valuable?

http://wikigamesgroup.wetpaint.com/page/Nintendog and http://wikigamesgroup.wetpaint.com/page/Goomba. There are the two pages on my video game wiki that I've added anchor links to that don't seem to work properly.

Okay, I just tested one of yours and I got it to work.

edit: on the second link

For anchor 16 for example, the link you enter should be exactly this:http://wikigamesgroup.wetpaint.com/page/Goomba#anchor16

and the anchor page should look like this:

If this still doesn't work, send me a PM and I'll see if I can fix the problem myself by temporarily joining your wiki.

Okay, I think this is a formatting bug.

I started a duplicate page for you and got the first four anchor links working.

If you highlight the page, you will see that the anchors are invisible -1, -2, -3, -4.

Okay, so I pretty much copied all the text from the original page to a duplicate page and finally got your anchor links working. You must have done something wrong which permanently ruined the original page.

I got 16 of your links working and I'll let you try and get the 17th one working on your own just to make sure you know how to do it.

You may need to do the same thing I did on the other page you mentioned.

It turns out I was doing it completely wrong. I figured it out, you have to put the anchor thing next to the header and link the words at the top. I originally had the words at the top as the anchor links and I put the links on them. Thank you for all the help. Do you find this valuable?
