:''<span style="color:gray">Where on homestarrunner.com has the main character of this game appeared?</span>''
Is [[Wikipedia:Yo! Noid|Yo! Noid]]. Main character appeared on the alternate Halloween Costumes [[secret page]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

:Great jorb! Yep, [[Coach Z]] was thinking about dressing up as the Noid for Halloween in 2001, in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], as seen [[HR:halloween01.swf]]

:''<span style="color:gray">Where in a Homestar Runner cartoon have this game's main character's weapons appeared? Hint 1: The main character's name is an anagram of the name of the "makers" of a potential tomb for Strong Bad. Hint 2: A [[:Category:Bands|band]] has composed a song about this entombment.</span>''
I'm not sure if I can take the credit for this one. When comparing this picture to Pok&eacute;mon with an online friend, he pointed out which game it's '''actually''' from. Anyway, there was a bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
PS. Because of the source, I intentionally left the game's title off.
::Yep, you've got the correct game in mind :) I don't think the bell sighting is quite right &mdash; if I'm not mistaken, there's not a ''visible'' bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]... let me know if I'm wrong though. And let's see if someone else gets the game, and then I'll sort out to whom to give credit. Nice job, Jay and Jay's friend! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, right, that was Homsar's paintbrush. :p He actually has an account here, though he doesn't use it anywhere near as much as I do. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:Um, The Adventures of Bayou Billy? I have absolutely no NES trivia knowledge, just a guess. And Jay, I'm pretty sure Pokemon was never a NES game. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:: You misunderstand. I compared the picture to Pok&eacute;mon with an online friend, and HE told me which game it REALLY came from, which, of course, wasn't Pok&eacute;mon. I left off the game's title because I don't know if I should take credit. And no, it's not Bayou Billy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Yup, not Bayou Billy. Keep trying! The hints should be helpful... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

That game is none other than Little Samson, an obscure platformer. A pretty good one, at that. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 03:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:You're so close it hurts! And you're right, this game is great! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I got it, I got it. I just had a little...mental stnank. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
: BTW, this was the friend I mentioned. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::Ooh, I see you {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Trey56&diff=498953&oldid=498952 fixed it}} &mdash; yep, it's ''[[Wikipedia:Little Samson|Little Samson]]''. Nice work, GG Crono! Anybody got the correct appearance of his weapons in the Homestar Runner body of work? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::I think Jay did earlier. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::Nope, not quite &mdash; Homsar's paintbrush makes a bell sound, but it doesn't count as bells "appearing". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::No, I didn't. Hmm... [[Seasonal Sweaters]]? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::[[Seasonal Sweaters]] is the one! Good work, GG Crono and Jay; I'll put you on my user page shortly. By the way, the answers to the hints were the following: One of [[your funeral|Strong Bad's possible funerals]] involved preserving his body in a '''mason''' jar (about which [[Taranchula]] wrote a song). So the "makers" of the jar are "masons", an anagram of which is "Samson". Thanks for participating, everyone! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:56, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::By the way, SMB, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] was close, but the type of bell there is a school bell, as opposed to the style that Little Samson wields. Good guess! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Well, like I said earlier, I stink at NES trivia, so my guesses are pure guesses. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:''<span style="color:gray">What Homestar Runner character has dabbled in the occupation of the villain of this game?</span>''
::That's easy. Homestar Runner was a jailer in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::By "occupation", I mean "career". Also, this one's probably straightforward, but what game is it? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::: The game is Donkey Kong Jr.... as for the career of the villian... Bubs? He's done all sorts of crazy crap... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::You've got the game, but your answer to the trivia isn't quite right &mdash; there's a more specific career and a Homestar Runner character who did quite a bit of it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::: You know, I always thought he was a plumber, so that'd leave The Buttcrack Plumber... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:26, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
::::::Like Mario, Homestar was a carpenter in Hands On Deck. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Yup! Back in the day, Mario was originally a carpenter. Nice job, guys! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

:''<span style="color:gray">Where has the name of this game's villain appeared (as text) on homestarrunner.com? Hint: the text is hidden in a recording. Hint 2: The text appears very close to someone with the male form of the name of "a really nice girl".</span>''

:::::Nice try! :D But there's a place where the name "Dracula" actually appears in print. Hint: it's deceptively easy... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The [[Adventure Gamers Interview]]! {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 23:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:Nope &mdash; that interview doesn't appear on homestarrunner.com! Keep try! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
does it literally apeear in print on the website? {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 23:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yes sir! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:::No, however, one of the scenes in that toon is set in the same location as the one where Dracula's name appears... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't even notice that was the toon Loafing guessed. Sorry to waste your valuable time, {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:It's okay &mdash; my time is just like water. Trey56's time &mdash; why ever drink again? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
::I know it's when Marshie pops up form the ground in front of the tombstone, but I can't think, or even find, where it says "Dracula." {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 02:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

after looking at the image, i think the picture is from castlevania 1. am i rite? if not, back 2 jamesnintendonerd. {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 01:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

:Very close &mdash; it's ''Castlevania II: Simon's Quest'' (Loafing got the game above). But the associated trivia question is still up for grabs, if you still want to try that one!

:By the way, the Angry Video Game Nerd (I think his Youtube account is jamesnintendonerd) did a review of this game. Thanks for participating! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
[[japanese cartoon]]! Simon (male form of Simone, who is a really nice girl) is standing in front of Dracula's tomb (a cemetary was shown in Malloween Commercial) in the NES endings Easter egg that was the origin of this whole game! (Hence, deceptively easy.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:You are absolutely right &mdash; awesome job! Sorry to give out such a tricky question this time, but I thought it'd be a lot more fun than "where is this game referenced on homestarrunner.com".  Anyways, that's all for the special Halloween Edition of the NES Endings challenge &mdash; thanks for participating, everyone! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:''<span style="color:gray">Which two Homestar Runner [[characters]] have dressed up like the protagonists of this game?</span>''
Well, I doubt that any of the H*R characters have actually dressed up as [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/b/snow.htm snowmen]. There is a [[:Image:PomPomSnowman.png|snowman dressed up as Pom Pom]] in [[A Holiday Greeting]], and then there is Strong Sad dressed up as a snowman in [[Fall Float Parade]], but more or less involuntarily ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 19:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

trey.Do you know ANYTHING about how to undo a selection made on a security warning on a java applet?Cuz that'd really help>A lot.{{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 02:17, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm... I'm afraid I don't.  Preferences, maybe? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:57, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

==Uploading Images==
Trey!! I want to upload a pic for my userpage, but when I click on the upload file, it says 
"The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups "autoconfirmed", "Bots", "Sysops". 
Return to Main Page.
Retrieved from "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Upload"
Is this true? Please help! [[User:CaptainN|CaptainN]] 19:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there, Captain N.  Uploading of images by brand-new users is temporarily disabled for a short period of time, after which you will become "autoconfirmed" and be able to upload them.  Judging from the time you created your account, I'd guess that this would happen for you in about 11-12 hours or so. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any more questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

::That makes sense. Thanks for the info Trey! {{User:CaptainN/sig}} 19:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

:::No problem :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

==Table of Contents==
Hey Trey, CaptainN here again, have another question for you. At the top of a lot of pages, like the one were on right now, there's a table of contents. Do those come automatically after a set number of sections, or do you have to add them, or what? Needing help, {{User:CaptainN/sig}} 05:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there, CaptainN.  I'm not sure what the default setting is for when a table of contents appears, but I imagine it happens when the page has a certain number of defined headers.

:I can tell you how to force the appearance or disappearance of a table of contents, however. If you want one, type <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code>, and if you don't want one, type <code><nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki></code>. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks Trey! {{User:CaptainN/sig}} 15:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

:::No problem :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Trey, you know about storage of past topics. Is it a bad or good thing to have 32kb or something for your talk page? Does it mean that I need to start archiving things? Or taht it's close to being so? {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 01:59, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:Hey, Chaos. It's really okay either way... MediaWiki recommends that you archive your page, but you don't have to. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== Hebrew font for Welcome image ==

[[Image:Welcome-hefonts.png|thumb]]
Hi Trey. Do you mind using a better Hebrew font for the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/5/5d/20070929001122%21Welcome_he.png Welcome}} image? I searched the web and foud this good one that are kinda similar to Bauhaus 93, but not quite. I really like Oria Bold, but it's too bold for you there's a lighter version of it. Tell me which one is more suitable and I'll email you the font. (Notice also that Guttman Haim for some reason don't have an exclamation mark, so it's Times New Roman) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:Not at all! I'll try using Oria Bold and show you what it looks like... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 12:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

::Hmm... so the graphics program I'm using is the only program on my computer that doesn't use your font correctly :( However, I tried a different method to make the letters puffier.

==The fanstuff wiki flash toons==
Hey trey. just wonderin' if you know how to watch flash toons on the fanstuff wiki. I've been dying to watch the Airstar Flyer emails! - [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]

:Hi there, Don't say jorb 101. I'm not that familiar with much of the content on the Fanstuff Wiki, so I can't tell you for sure, but this is my understanding: most of the emails are transcript only, and I believe that [[HRFWiki:Fake Character Email Airstar Flyer|Fake Character Email Airstar Flyer]] falls into this category. That is, there's no flash to go along with it, just a made-up transcript.

:I don't think it's actually possible to host Flash files on the Fanstuff Wiki. So, any Flash fanstuff would have to be hosted on another site and linked to, in which case you should be able to view it in your internet browser, just like you view Homestar Runner content. A good example of this [http://devonm.com/demail.swf Strong Devon's Emails].

:Hopefully I've understood and answered your question correctly. Talk atcha later! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks! (userbox help) ==
thanks for helping out with the userboxes.  i'm new with this wiki stuff so any help helps!

:No problem &mdash; it looks good in your sig! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== French Subtitles ==

Just to clear things up: you just added spaces to my translations before exclamation points and question marks. I question, though, because both my sister, who speaks French, and my french teacher both type and write without those spaces. I live in America, my two resources who helped me both learned French in Quebec. Is there something different between France french and Canadian french? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 06:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there &mdash; there are a lot of difference between Canadian French and French as spoken in France, but I don't know if this is one of them. I do know that this is something that [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]], a native speaker living in France [[User talk:Trey56/Archive 1#French subtitles|thought was important]]. It'd probably be best to keep doing that for consistency with all the ones he's transcribed. By the way, I didn't know this either before he corrected me &mdash; they didn't teach it in my French classes either. If you feel like it, it's probably worth contacting [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] about, if you can get ahold of him. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== Transcription ==

Thanks for taking notice to my hard work. I'm glad someone noticed. I'd really like someone to proofread those so they can be removed from the list, Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, I was carving my HSR-related pumpakin. But, thanks for noticing. Do you think you could proofread those? Thanks,{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:Absolutely &mdash; I'll be happy to proofread your transcripts for [[A Decemberween Pageant]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], and [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. It might take me a day or two to have time to finish it, but I'll be sure to get it done.

:By the way, which pumpkin did you make? Laters, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::I made the one that's just the H*R logo. My pumpkin started drying up the day after I carved it, so the flimsy little star outline got all shriveled up and dissapeared. Other that that, it turned out gweat. Swarthily, Bubs's Concession Stand. Oops, I mean {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:::Aw, peas. I finally had a chance to proofread your transcripts, so I popped in my [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]], went to go look at the [[HRWiki:DVD commentary transcripts|commentaries you transcribed]], and realized that they're all on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. Which I don't have. So, I'm afraid I can't proofread them for you &mdash; sorry :( {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Don't feel too bad. The couple people I asked to proofread those said they didn't have that DVD, so I guess nobody has that [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] DVD, I'll get someone to proof those. I was gonna do it myself, but I decided against it at the last minute(even though my dad's an English major). Thanks anyways, {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

==Uploading pictures==
I was wondering... how do you copy pictures from h*r toons and post them on the wiki? I'm creating a page and I need a certain picture on it.
Please respond, [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]
:Hi! Check out the "How to take a screenshot" section on [[Help:Image]]. Let me know if you have any other questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I just have one more question: how do you organize userboxes? [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]

:Good question. Put each one on a separate line, put <code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code> on a separate line above them all, and put <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> on a line below them all. So, it should look like this:
<pre><nowiki>
{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|...}}
{{userbox|...}}
...
{{userbox|...}}
|}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would ever like to find those HTML files you posted in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]], I pasted them [[User:Homestar-winner/URLs|here]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks! I can also get them from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=511551&oldid=511511 this version}} of the Sandbox, so don't worry about keeping them on that page if you don't want.
