Hard to Explain in a Title

Hi, --General "Marksman" Rogers 08:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC) here and im wondering how you can edit your user page like a real page. All i can edit are boxes saying where im from and such. I wanted to add links to a halo fanon story im making, but all i can do is put stuff in boxes.

Use the orange button that says "Use wiki userpage." -- Manticore (talk) 14:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Can't get back box thing on top of the page

i got rid of it and i cant get it back, and now i cant vote for the rfa's and see the new stuff.please help!!

See MediaWiki:Sitenotice. -- Manticore (talk) 03:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Improvement Drive Article

For the nest one, it has to be Xbox LIVE. Because at the moment, its just poorly written, too short, and nowhere near the potential it could be, given Halo's history with it. --Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 08:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Feature

How do you have featured pictures and become the featured user?Spartan6 23:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Featured users are randomised, I would assume. --Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 03:11, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Tilt Skull

i did everything everyone told me to and i cant get the tilt skull (the one on the cortana level) i climbed up there and the skull wasnt there. there was just a pile of bones. i was on normal difficulty.

A pile of bones? Are you sure you weren't looking at a skull? If you didn't start from the beginning, you won't get it. That's truly strange.Rookie 162 03:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

A question about campaign.

If you play part of the Halo 3 campaign on co-op and some on solo, will it count as beating it?

Yes. It's just easier to brag if you do it yourself. The game won't care, though. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 18:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Blog comments

Why, in all blog comments, is there a red "do not" sign next to all posters' ranks? If you do not know what I am talking about, please visit any blog on this site and look at a user's name above a comment. To the right of that is their rank, and then the symbol I described. If anyone has an answer to this please share.File:1206326695 Halo2emblem funny.JPG Rookie162 ^"Holla!"_{"commitment level"} 02:12, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Click that to place the user on your ignore list. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 02:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Thank you.File:1206326695 Halo2emblem funny.JPG Rookie162 ^"Holla!"_{"commitment level"} 21:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

campaign is so boring now

Campaign is so boring now I can't be arssed to do it on a higher difficulty.

Anybody else feel the same way?

Armor

I got 820 gamerpoints in halo 3 and the game wont give me the security shoulders, what's wrong?

For some reason, the game doesn't exactly have a set gamerscore minimum to earn the Security shoulders. I got mine at around 700, while the article says differently. However, the article on Security shoulders does say that some gamers get the shoulders at different gamerscore values. I have a feeling it has more to do with which achievements you earn. Sorry that you haven't gotten them yet though, best of luck!

Featured users huh?

How do you get your name on the Featured User sidebar? Because I have seen many people with much less points than me, so I know it's not about points... From Skinr

I believe that there is a random element to it. I'm unsure of the exact mechanics of it, though I suspect it also depends upon how consistent your edits are also. -- Councillor Specops306 - Kora 'Morhek 01:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It's purely randomised from Top Users/Weekly. -- Manticore (talk) 01:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Long yellow box

For about five hours (from when I wrote this) there has been the usual yellow banner across the top of my screen that is shown on any wiki (except for Halopedia) that appears when you have a message. It says "You have new messages on Halopedia". In go there, but I clearly have no new massages, and the banner won't go away. What can be done to get rid of this? It's very annoying (for lack of a better word). (And hopefully I put this message to the correct place). Anubis 10545 07:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

This shouldn't be appearing at all; Halopedia new message notifications are only by email (known bug). -- Manticore (talk) 07:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Not sure where else to ask this...

What happened to the Monobook skin? I don't see any options in the Preferences to change the skin. Zeldafanjtl 23:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Everyone should probably read this

Hello, I'm Atarumaster88, an administrator over on Wookieepedia. We've already had a big discussion about this over on Wookieepedia and there's ongoing brouhaha on it at the central Wikia, but everyone should be aware of some important changes Wikia is planning on making, with or without your approval. See this [1] for more details, also a Wookieepedia thread.

If there are staff/Janitors that spot any errors in my statement, please correct them and let me know. ;-)

Sound off on it, please don't A) Flame the staff. It might be amusing, but it's probably not and it accomplishes nothing. B) Make empty threats. Consider the bluff called. C) Misinterpret the issue. Read before you click that edit tab. And then read again and look at it from both sides.

Discussion

• I'll leave this place for the Halopedia community to sound off. Atarumaster88 ^{(Talk page)} 14:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

What the hell is going to happen with this skin?! It's already bad enough, but adding adds that is going to royally screw the pages. And we CAN'T switch to monaco because of THIS skin! WHAT THE HELL WIKIA?!
