Removing very high-res screenshots
Hey Subtank, is there really a need to remove very high-res screenshots? There are HUD details (the suit BIOS, for example) that can't be discerned at lower resolutions. Users can choose to open lower-res versions of the image anyway if they don't have the bandwidth to load the full picture, so I don't think reverting to 1920px is necessary. -Kronos101 16:54, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
 * That last sentence is the issue: by clicking the link to the image, the page will load up the original size. This is set by default by the wiki. This can, however, be prevented if the user ha set a size limit in their preferences... but the likelihood of anyone actually setting a size limit is very very little. Of course, if we can change the settings to view it only at 1920px as the default size, then this wouldn't be an issue... pester Steve/Porplemontage about it perhaps? :P 16:59, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
 * Doesn't clicking the image link get users to the file page (e.g. File:Halo4BattleRifleProfile.png) instead of the image itself ? -Kronos101 17:05, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
 * Whoops. Major apologies. Just reset my preferences to default and you're right. Gonna restore the images now. Subtank 17:06, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
 * Hah, my signature returned to default. :P — subtank   17:07, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

RE: Would you kindly...
Sure, I'll get right on it. I noticed you moved Battlegroup Stalingrad to Patterson's battle group. I'm just curious, but what was the reason for that? Thanks.-- KEEP IT CLEAN  Comm Line  Transmissions 19:04, 12 May 2012 (EDT)

Templates and stuff
Hey,

Couldn't help but I noticed that you're kinda in charge of templates and stuff. I have several I want to discuss about. Mind contacting me back?— HA came 21:04, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Im under a Time Restraint, so help me fast please.
Dear Subtank, I Need your help very very bad. I noticed that you uploaded an image of the AI known as "doppler", therefore that must mean you own either issue #3 or #4 of "Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion". If you do, as the evidence suggests, I Need your help. I am making a 3D animation for a school project, so I'm on a tight deadline, and for the animation I need images of the Covenant "Super-Cruiser" AKA "Sniper Ship", the ship that was sniping UNSC ships, and eventually was destroyed by the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. I require at least a single image, preferably more, of this ship which should appear in issue 3 or 4 of "Invasion". I would be extremely grateful if you can help me. My E-Mail is Spirit-0f-fire@shaw.ca (that is a zero in "-0f-") you will be credited in the video's credit's. I am desperate for these images, so please help, I'm at a loss looking for them on the internet, so please, I'm desperate --The Grave Mind 09:39, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

Template:Article quote
Hey Subtank, since you are the last person who edited the Template... I think there's some issue with the Template:Article quote. If the template is placed before an infobox, there's no problem. However, if it's placed below the infobox, like Mister Zanzibar over here, then the quote overlaps the infobox. This might be another webkit problem like last time, but since I'm not sure, I came here to consult the MediaWiki-wise Subtank (sigh, I'm horrible at puns). — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 10:50, 29 May 2012 (EDT)


 * Webkit... don't know why there's always a problem with it. Fixed... but it won't be in the centre anymore.— subtank   12:25, 29 May 2012 (EDT)

Template
Could you please tell me why you deleted the template for my signature? It keeps my sig from messing up like it will be when this is published.--Shade Link 14:44, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Because personal signatures do not belong in the template namespace, but in a user-subpage such as the one you already have. Also, unless you plan on requesting a username change, please link your signature back to your userpage, instead of redlinking it to Parax.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 14:49, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Yes, I'd like a name change.--Shade Link 14:51, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
 * You can request one here.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk

oh me. Thanks for fixing that incredibly slight mistake I made. After 2 years, the reference problem in the article is finally fixed. :D — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 22:09, 22 July 2012 (EDT)

Reach super carrier file/Covie alloy
Can you re-upload the orginal version of this file: http://www.halopedia.org/File:Reach_-_Supercarrier.png as a separate one, as it's current version is an entirely separate image. Also, both should be present on Long Night of Solace's article, as that's the ship in the image. 98.24.14.97 11:23, 14 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Also, can an article be made for the Covenant alloy used on all their objects? I think it's notable to point out how it always has a geometric pattern and exhibits 2 colored iridesence.98.24.14.97 11:29, 14 August 2012 (EDT)


 * Image reuploaded. As for the Covenant alloy, I don't see why not.— subtank   17:28, 14 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I meant more, "can you make the article?" :p I would, but i'm not good at formatting.98.24.14.97 16:50, 19 August 2012 (EDT)

Request
Hi Subs, can you use your Patroller powerz to move Suppressor (weapon) to Suppressor? Thanks.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 10:55, 16 August 2012 (EDT)

Subject: Halo Nation logo
ohai subtank, its me, Terra-287 from halo nation, I require your help. The look to the site is going to be updated so I've been making a logo for the site, and since it appears you made the original logo it means you might have the halo reach font used in it. I need your help if you do have the font typable so that I may use it for the new logo. Please Respond to me through my email "Spirit-0f-fire@shaw.ca" (that is a "Zero" in "0f") please reply as soon as you get this. --The Grave Mind 21:52, 29 September 2012 (EDT)


 * Apologies but I no longer reply to requests/comments/anything-else through email. Also, I don't have Reach font (actively searching for it since 2010). I can tell you how to recreate it. The first word, "Halo", is an image of its own from the official sites. "Nation" is created using CloneWars truetype (Google helps), with a bit of photoshopping (such as reusing the official "A" and "O" for "N a ti o n).— subtank   22:44, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

Penguins
Well, it seems my sudden-code-knowledge-gaining-powers failed to manifest this time visiting your talk. Is it possible to create a page background that's a gif? Remember that Assembly background I made once? Would it be possible to make a similar one from a .gif?

Also, this might interest. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 01:58, 4 October 2012 (EDT)


 * It is possible, but it is not practical. Assuming that the GIF is very pretty**, the load will be a burden to those with slower connection or using mobile browsers (assuming that the website does not have a special mobile theme). In some cases, it might even cause browsers to hang. ** "pretty" implies that the filesize is 2mb or more. — subtank   02:20, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

Hm. Yep, I hate when gifs cause that to me. I suppose then it'd only work with something simple... Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 02:34, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

CSG
Sorry. Won't have access to LIVE till January. Have fun though. :) — subtank   09:54, 25 October 2012 (EDT)


 * Thats a bummer. Hopefully CSG will last by then. -

Finded Things
Firsties, I found this quote from ONI: Sword Base. "Dr. Halsey"

- Jorge052

Six wouldn't have any need to point out the Elites' shield strength matched with those Zealots unless it varied from them and other ranks.

Secondly, on the Navigation toolbar on the side of the page, one of the links leads to a dead redirect. Specifically, it's "Mike" under "Main Book Characters" under "The Universe". It should be changed to Mike-120, as currently it links to the dead "Mike (SPARTAN-II)". May you fixies please? Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 19:02, 21 November 2012 (EST)


 * Yup. Someone showed me that quote after that discussion. And any fixing relating to Navigation toolbar, MediaWiki and all others should be directed to the Administration. Don't have access to those pages anymore since 2010. :P — subtank   02:08, 27 November 2012 (EST)

Spartacus fixed it soon after I asked, so it's already handled. Who showed you the quote, incidentally? Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 02:36, 27 November 2012 (EST)


 * I don't remember who it was. Guess I shouldn't delete the messages in the messageboard... :/ — subtank   03:49, 27 November 2012 (EST)
