Suggestion
In the "Preferences" page, the user is prompted to offer their "Nickname". I know of at least one example where a user has thought this meant "put whatever you like here". But of course we expect that what's put in "Nickname" will be the same as or very close to the user's username. Any chance we can reword that so new users will know how to create policy-compliant signatures? - Qermaq - (T/C)

- I don't know, I've never minded users going by a name other than their username as long as they're consistent about it and the "nickname" isn't taken. However, that doesn't mean I necessarily encourage doing that, because it can get confusing at times — especially for us RecentChanges junkies. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 07:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, we have asked people to change their nicks before, because they were either offensive or something like MattChapman. I think it's a good idea to give a few hints as to what's acceptable and encouraged. Loafing

- I remember back when I joined, I thought that "Nickname" was simply for "What shall we address you by other than your user name?". Perhaps the code can be altered to say "Signature" or something of the like. — Lapper (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- At 'Kipedia it does already say "Signature" rather than nickname, and this seems to be a lot more logical to me. Heimstern Läufer

Template help!
I am trying to make two templates for my site [psupedia.org] (looks like a combination of the H*R Wiki and the English Wiki) but I can't get them to stand side-by-side. Whenever I try to do them, they merge together in a big ugly mess. Can someone please help me out that ? : )

If you would like to, you can post it in my talk page or this IP's one if you are willing to help, it might be easier on my site because the images I have in the code are enabled and I don't think this site would like having that. I expect you guys are very good with coding and you could finish it up soon, because my neck is probably on the line with the site admin there! hehe. 68.194.9.27 17:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Upon first glance, it appears you've forgotten to close all four of your "tables", and that they are all nested within each other, creating a big mess. I'd recommend checking out Help:Table for information on how to use tables properly. — Lapper (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Lapper, wish I asked sooner. :P Also sorry if I ruined the page a little, my other edit make the width larger than it should be. 68.194.9.27 17:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ugh, I tried it again using the help guide and your advice but it's still merging. I closed the tables and I tried variations to replace the '!'s with '|'s and '|+'. I tried a lot of variations and it still isn't changing. :( 68.194.9.27 18:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Drop me a line around 21:00 utc. We'll work it out together. — Lapper (talk) 14:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Halloween skin cont'd
Note: continued from HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 15
Well, given that coloring is not a pre-Halloween toon, changing the skin is a little less urgent. We don't have to put the skin up for a couple more days, unless you guys + Dot com are ready to go. And from what's written on the wiki, some things are not entirely agreed upon yet. —BazookaJoe 06:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm agreed on whatever you want to do. =3 --DorianGray
- Punkin stencil rotation in the upper right corner? Official site link logo change to uncarved pumpakin? We will use Image:Wikiween.png (sorry you didn't see that, FireBird). The orange and gray main page tables look awesome. Do we have our spooky forest silhouette? Is Dot com ready to go when we are ready (I think I know the answer)? Is All On? Hafta go bafroom? =3? —BazookaJoe 06:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Canada $$
Could someone please send TBC an email about quotes in CAD not USD. I would but my email is down rright now so thanks
- Why the urgency? Oh, for the Canadian Decemberween sale? You can use Google or another website to convert USD to CAD. —BazookaJoe 23:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
subtitles
The subtitles project has become very big, and I think that it deserves it's own link on the main page, as it's actually pretty hard to find otherwise. - 
The Joe(Talk) 00:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's currently linked from HRWiki:The Stick, and there are links to the subtitles scripts on every toon article (on the left hand side, under the "external links" box). But most people will probably not have noticed this. I don't know how it would fit on the main page, though. Loafing 00:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Matt's Birthday coming up
What are we planning on doing for Matt's birthday (11/1). It's a week or so away and I think it would be neat if we did something so that we all can be involved. 
I R F 09:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- That would be cool — I can't think of anything; any ideas?

- I was thinking about making up a huge card and have everyone submit a message by jpg or png to a central person such as JoeyDay, Tom, or It's dot com. Then have that person compile all the meassages and take it to a Kinkos and have them print it on a large poster board and then mail it to them. I would be glad to contribute via paypal to the cost of printing and mailing this card and I think others would too. I R F 12:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
