Editing Template talk:whatsnew

==Formatting problems==
I'm not sure if templates are allowed to have talk pages, but here's my question. Is there anyway we can get the text to wrap around the pictures on the main page? Right now the store notice is stretching it out ridiculously and I've noticed it doing this before. &mdash;[[User:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]] 23:08, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Other than <img> tags, I can't really think of anything. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 23:11, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
I don't notice anything unusual. The text seems to flow under the pictures just fine here. Describe what you're seeing some more. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:16, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I think he means how one message is 10 lines long. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:29, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::She. And of course that's all relative, because it's much less on a lot of screens. If I narrow my window enough, however, the text does start to flow around the images, which is why I was looking for more information. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:45, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:My resolution ''is'' only 800 by 600, which I'm guessing now is rather small these days, and I'm using Firefox if that helps at all. I played around with my window, but the text doesn't flow around the image for me at least. For lack of a better way to describe it, here's a screenshot. <br>http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/4644/whatsnew9tb.png

::::Other than one side being indented and the other side not, I don't see a substantial difference between the two. They both wrap under the image beneath it, which apparently is not happening for mibluvr13. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:48, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Store Item of the Week==
TBC are going to update the [[Store]] every Friday with an item of the week. Is this important enough to go on whatsnew from now on? I can definitely see an indirect benefit for them and us if we put it up. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:36, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

== Maybe... ==

this template should include an RSS feed. --{{User:X-Spider2/X-Sigger2}} 03:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

:That's not a feature of the software we use.  See [[HRWiki:Feeds]] for the feeds that we do have.  Perhaps something like [http://interglacial.com/rss/homestar.rss this feed] would better suit your needs?&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

== Gap ==

Is anyone else seeing a gap in this template on the main page? Could it be because there are two images on it instead of the usual one? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 06:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
:with two pictures like that it just looks weird. methinks it should jusdt have one. [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 07:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
::I noticed nothing odd... It looked entirely fine to me... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::It was good for me as well. And theoretically, the email screenshot should be up there, not Baby Trogdor. That's why we had both.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

== adding ==

how do i add a new toon that we don't have yet? are only admins allowed to do that or something?
:Well, annony, what it looks like to me is that I can can edit it, and other logged-in users can edit it, but you can't. This means that the page is semi-protected. Someone else could give you (and me) details. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::You've said it as well as I could, SMB. Only logged-in users can edit a semi-protected page. Anonymous users are locked out. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:42, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Yup &mdash; also, brand-new users are unable to edit semi-protected pages, so you may want to create an account in case you see an update to add in the future. If you create one when you find an update and want to immediately edit a semi-protected page, you won't be able to. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Even if you are not registered or logged in, you are still able to update the [[H*R.com updates]] page. Once that page is updated, it shouldn't be long before the main page is updated by someone else. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== removing old to balance with featured article ==

Are any stats available for the screen resolution most people here use?  Currently, on the main page, for my resolution of 1280x1024, the featured article ends just above the July 10 text (the second from bottom one).  A smaller resolution like 1024x768 would best remove the bottom entry from June 30 only, and for an even smaller resolution, like 800x600, the featured article section is a little bit larger than the whats new section.  So...what resolution should it be made for? --[[User:Mini-Geek|Mini-Geek]] 14:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
:As of January 2008, 1024&times;768 was in use by about half the clients out there, with most of the other half having something higher. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
