I was thinking of getting the image from death metal during the video chat. This page is kind of blank, anyway. I can upload images, but have no idea how to actually get them out of the toon, save them, and upload them. Can someone (a) try to help me out with this and (b) try to get the image in the event that I can't? ♥ _tee^eff_oh! 21:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's the 10 step meathod I've always used (I'm not sure if it'll work exactly the same way. I use Windows XP). Feel free to follow my simple, step by step instructions. I make uploading FUN!

1. Watch the toon.
2. When you get to the part of the toon you want a pic of, press Alt+Print Screen.
3. Open a paint program, such as MS Paint.
4. Paste the image in. (Ctr+V)
5. Save as a PNG. (File, Save, when it asks for the image title, look for a drop down box right below it, and choose PNG format)
6. Go to the Wiki.
7. On the toolbar (left side of the screen "always there" buttons) look for "Upload File". Click it.
8. Browse for your file, and upload it.
9. Add link to the image on the right page. [[Image:Imagename.PNG|thumb|Cool Caption]]
10. Get yourself a Danish.

Don't forget, if you're looking for an image for a case like this, do a quick search around the wiki to see if there's an image that'll meet the needs, without uploading a new one. Hope that helps. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I know how to capture images, save them, and upload them, but how do you crop the images and stuff like that? I tried doing it once, and it came out all messed up. — Has Matt? (talk) 21:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You have to do it before you upload it. Like on MS Paint. Salty^Talk! 21:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I know that. I tried it, but failed. — Has Matt? (talk) 21:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Picture

Could you put http://www.hrwiki.org/images/d/de/AimIcons.PNG anywhere? --TheThingé 22:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, if you would check out it's image page, you'll note it's linked to from Secret Pages. — Lapper (talk) 04:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Working/Not Working

As "Working" contacts could all very well be fanstuff (well, at least the IM ones), do they really need a seperate section because of it? - Joshua 03:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Well not really but It's OK. TheThingé 13:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

strong sad's contact

I don't think Strong Sad's IM is still working. He is never on.

Some Type of Online Auction

Wow, where did you guys find the Some Type of Online Auction link? Even more importantly, what toon/email does it come from and why doesn't it have it's own page or redirect? --Stux 18:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I found it! --Stux 18:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think there was much else to add so I removed the stub tag. --Stux 18:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Larry

I've found the greatestjournal of the person who (or claims to, at least, though I'm pretty sure it's true) owns the ladeezluvlarry71 screen name. It's [1]there.
