-	== Alphabetical Navigation ==	+
-		+
-	Hi The thing.  I just noticed your [[Template:Alphabetical Nav|new template]] and was wondering what your plans were with it.  Are you just leaving it on those three categories?  I also noticed a problem with the template as it is now.  It ignores lowercase letters, which is OK for the Users with Userboxes template because they all start with capitals anyway, but [[:Category:Strong Bad Filmography]] is mostly lowercase letters, making the template almost useless.  I am also intrigued by your lack of edit explanation via edit summaries or talk page notes indicating your intentions with the template.  Were you hoping other users woud see it and take it upon themselves to put it on every template?  I would appreciazte a little reply indicating your plans for the future of the template.  This isn't an early threat of deletion, I'm just wondering what you're planning to do with it.  Thanks, {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 21:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)	+

I think your sig is turning talk pages like this one and this one green. Could you fix this? That Game Dude 386 23:01, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Thingé

I liked that sig. You should keep it! Homestar-Winner (talk) 16:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I put it back. TheThingé 17:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Nooooo! Change it back to the old one! I believe the Compe was created as a joke (it barely has any appearances yet)!

Yeah, that's what I'm gunna do. (In three days) {{User:The thing/sig} 00:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

And speaking of your signature, how do you make it so that all instances of your signature change when you edit your sig page? RickTommy talk 00:41, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, it depends if when you are putting your signature somewhere you put {{User:Whatever/sig}} or if you put {{SUBST:User:Whatever/sig}}. The first one would change. TheThingé 00:44, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Can we like your choice of signature?

Yes we can! Shine Sprite (complain) 01:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Subpage

Okay, I won't put the subpage back, but on my talkpage can you give me what the page used to say. Like, put the source on my talk page. TheThingé 00:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Nah. It's already on other pages. — It's dot com 01:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Could you please make the "❦☃✉₪✈" on your user page smaller or remove it? It makes it hard for other users to access your talk page. Dagoth 11:34, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Many of your edits recently have been borderline disruptive—in some cases it's actually pretty blatant. I think you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, you're old enough that you should know what talking about. Either way, my patience (if any) is quickly running out. This will be your only warning before I block you.
