Emblem

Hey, I vectorized your emblem, what do you think? G35cpe 01:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Epic freaking win. :D DavidJCobb  01:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Write a Subject

thanks for the replys but can u write a subject before u comment on my talk ok? pls --K228 09:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Two things.

1. If you're gonna ask me to write a subject before I comment on your talk page, then extend the same courtesy to me.
2. And sorry about not writing a subhect -- I thought it was someone else telling you to leave your signature, so I actually thought "Leave Your Signature" was the subject of a conversation already in progress. Generally, you don't need to add a message to your talk page telling people to leave their signatures, because competent editors already know to do that. Furthermore, such a message should be placed at the top of a page -- general wiki conventions state that sections in talk pages are discussions.

Regarding the Stub template

The template is... broken... yeah.- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 09:55, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Seems to be a problem with the substitution -- for some reason, the ":" at the beginning of the line isn't added properly... DavidJCobb  10:01, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Well, here's the odd thing: the ":" is also used in Main redirect template but the template isn't broken. Could it be the SPAN tag?- 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 10:14, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

In HTML, SPANs would have no effect, but who knows what random wiki-parser bug could occur... You removed the SPAN, but I noticed that there were still I tags. The only difference between a SPAN and an I is the presence of italics, so I just replaced the I tags with wiki-formatting for italics; I just popped it in here and hit "Preview" and it appears to work.

KH Wiki-Staff

Well, we just plain-out can't get the icons to appear! We put in the template just as we should, but nothing appears, as though it isn't there. ILHI, our coding expert, got some of those coding from your CSS and JS that was related to the coding necessary for these templates and implemented it into ours, but still nothing! Could you just look at the templates and our CSS/JS and see what's wrong? I've left the links on a few Admins' talk pages. By the way, I apologize if you think that I was spamming; we were just trying to get your attention quickly. --DoorToNothing 00:39, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

No, man, I understand you just wanted our attention. I don't have time to get on it right now, I'll start tomorrow... But I'm gonna start with the simple possibility that you don't have the images the template uses. If you're using a good, non-IE browser, then you might not even see a broken image icon! Anyway, please do me a favor and reply to this -- so that the moment I get back on here, I get a direct link here and I can start helping you out. I tend to be forgetful sometimes. DavidJCobb  01:27, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Well, here's your reply. Thanks so much, DarvidJCobb. This is something that we've wanted to implement for awhile, and I'm glad that someone can finally help us get it done! And yes, I do use IE, but we do have the images; I uploaded them myself in icon form! --DoorToNothing 02:35, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

I said non-IE, but IE isn't the problem you're having with this template. Though I'd still recommend switching to Firefox.

I figured out what problem you're having, but I've no clue why you're having it. Each page has an HTML H1 holding the article title, as I'm sure you're aware. Somehow, whoever coded Template:Era managed to shove the template into that H1. I have no clue how they did it, but they did it with Era and with Template:Ratings. The templates are used normally on pages, and the templates' source codes don't have anything that would make them behave like this.

I did check Era's edit history, and it looks like RelentlessRecusant set it up. I'd recommend checking with him. Sorry I couldn't be of more use. DavidJCobb  08:44, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

"Nice edits"

Mostly, and thank you. The nonsense edits from this IP weren't done by me. Perhaps it's time to make an account, eh? 62.194.6.92 21:33, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

There. Duke Hitchens 21:38, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know

Everybody has a lot of issues, I guess. Sometimes I like to think I'm already dead, and as if I never existed. PX173 04:24, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

This will hurt a bit....

... but it is necessary. Just wanted to inform you that Wikia has removed the social tools from Halopedia. I hope you can recreate your userpage again. :) - 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 23:16, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

O hai, Subtank. :D Actually, I just checked, UserWiki:DavidJCobb|it appears to still be there]], but thanks for letting me know. :P

Yeah, I noticed I haven't been around for a while. Not sure if I'll stay, but thanks for this comment -- I might not've bothered to re-bookmark this site hadn't I read it.

 DavidJCobb  22:00, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

This won't hurt

but I think you need to be aware of the multiple edit thingy. :P - 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 17:41, 10 December 2010 (EST)

Hm? Oh -- the avoid-consecutive-edits rule. Sorry -- slipped my mind. I keep thinking I'm finished, and then I find something else that's both awesome and relevant. Speaking of which -- 'nother edit coming up. DavidJCobb 17:47, 10 December 2010 (EST)

Hey DJC, you 'round?

Just wonderin' bout ya. Matortheeternal 10:38, 14 January 2011 (EST)
