Image alignment
is there any way to get a thumb image(i.e. one created by putting |thumb| in the link so that the alternative text comes in the same box as the image) to align to the left? I want to do in on my userpage to stop the right hand side getting cluttered and so it looks better than a normal image with the desciption beneath in normal text. DumbMuscle
- Nevermind, found the answer while looking through recent changes, as usual, I'd been overthinking it (I had been trying |align=left| rather than just |left| DumbMuscle 15:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
wiki user page?
on my userpage i can't get images to just show up with out getting some kind of link to the image.can anyone help?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
- Ok, this is what you need to type: [[image:(the image name goes here).(GIF, JPEG, Etc.)]].--H*bad 23:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Is this the image you want? If it is, just type: [[Image:homestarrunner 1895 340365.jpg|thumb|A cool description]] Hope that helps. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Puppet Stuff User Box Template
Should there be a template for our user boxes if we like the Puppet Stuff? - Maggot Man 00:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- There can be. Try experimenting in the Sandbox using an existing userbox as a template. If you come up with one, put it on your user page, and if people like it, add it to the Userbox page. - Qermaq - (T/C) 03:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Link Color
Is there a way to change the color of the font of links? - Thnikkaguy
Yes there is! You simply need to style the text within the link itself. See the source of my comment to see how. - Qermaq - (T/C) 03:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. -Thnikkaguy
Confused...
Do you have to have a different account for the fanstuff wiki? Because whenever I'm here, my account works perfectly, but when I try and log in at the fanstuff wiki, it won't let me.
- The knowledge base and fanstuff wikis are separate. If you want to have the same account name there, you'll need to create it. — It's dot com 04:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
New Messages
If someone leaves you a messsage and right when they leave you a message you go to your talk page? Does the message bar show up? Someone leave me a message on my talk page like: Hi or: Haldo or something and I'll go to my talk page and keep refreshing it. Tampo (T/C) 01:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- The act of going to your talk page clears the messages indicator, even if someone was just leaving you a message. — It's dot com 01:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Userbox
My userbox is going horizontally instead of vertically. What do i do?
- Put all the {{userbox}} things on seperate lines, rather than all on one line like you have them. --phlip TC 13:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Userpage Fix
It seems my userpage is acting up again around the Binary Translations/Harry's Cake List Area. (Just to let you know, The translation up right now is unanswered) --Dacheatbot · Communicate 17:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I believe the problem stems from the long string used in the caption. It's so long, the thumbnail cannot go full right, and part of the caption is not visible. Shortening the lines will keep the pic from not being so awkwardly far from the right. - Qermaq - (T/C) 18:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- So what, use <small> tags? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 18:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think that'd make the text too small to read. Why not more frequent line breaks? Maybe every 24 characters? - Qermaq - (T/C) 18:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you see the problem I'm talking about. When I look at my Userpage the side toolbar and everything below Harry's Cake List looks like they have small tags on them --Dacheatbot · Communicate
- This is what I'm talking about --Dacheatbot · Communicate 00:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I don't see the issue in the pic, nor do I see it on your page. Fonts look normal here. - Qermaq - (T/C) 17:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- The left side bar has shrunken and so have the tabs and Quickbar --Dacheatbot · Communicate 17:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Navigation bar
What could cause the navigation bar squeezed onto the side. And the tabs on the top to become small and displaced.--H*Bad 18:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
My contribution
I made a contribution on a page earlier and it was saved. But when I went to the recent changes it disappeared. When I go back to the page its there, just not in the recent changes.--H*Bad 15:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- If it was deleted from recent changes but still shows up on your computer, then it's a cache problem similar to the ones you've been having at the fanstuff. — It's dot com 15:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Do you see it?--H*Bad 15:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- No, and if you did a hard refresh, you wouldn't either. — It's dot com 15:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- OK, so whos problem is it?--H*Bad 15:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
