== How do I upload a song? ==

I have a wav & mp3 of the Stinko Man K 20X6 theme and I want to poast it, so..... how do I?

Do I need to have on the net somwhere already or can I just upload it from my CPU?

:''You'' can't. '''DISCLAIMER:''' Only registered users who are logged on can upload files. However, I have a pretty good feeling that those particular files would just be deleted as
*#Files of type ".wav" are HUGE. I've been able to reduce a 3.15 MB wav to 444KB by converting it to a 256 kbps mp3. Wavs have to be around four times that bit rate before they are really even listenable. Bear in mind that I have some pretty low standards as to what constitutes "listenable." Even mp3s are still kind of bulky when compared with OGGs.
*#You'd be stepping on TBC's toes with regards to copyright and whatnot because, somebody correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's already available to download at http://www.videlectrix.com.

[[brianrietta|Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams]] {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Well I am a registered user.

The theme I have is the one that they put lyrics to in Japanese Cartoon; "Challang and fighting and fighting and challange toniiiight...."

But I have one question; What the crap is an ".ogg" file
and how do you make one?

I'm sorry, but I've never been down wit' ogg.
So please fill me in. {{unsigned|OX|16:35, 25 January 2006}}

:OGG is like MP3, only that it's [[Wikipedia:Open source|open source]]. That is, anybody can make a program that makes OGG's. There are several programs that encode OGG, some easier to use than others, but I can't think of any right now. Again if you're considering uploading the entire song please be aware of the points made above. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== Icon ==

Is there a way to remove an icon next to a link outside HRWiki? {{User:Tampo/sig}}

:Are you refering to the little images that show up on Firefox for links to homestarrunner.com, yahoo.com, videlectrix.com, and thorax.corp? Or are you refering to the little arrows that show up to the right of links? Because if you want to get rid of the arrow for a link like [http://www.kilroy.x10hosting.com/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird_L17 this], use this code:

:<nowiki>[www.something.com link here]</nowiki>

:To make it look like [http://www.kilroy.x10hosting.com/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird_L17 this]. Hope that helps. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

::I want to get rid of all the icons including the H*R and the Videlectrix ones. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 14:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

:::There's probably a way to do it in your personal [[Special:Mypage/monobook.css|Monobook.css]] file. I'll have a look on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Meta-Wiki] and see if there's a way to get rid of all icons next to links. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC) '''EDIT:''' I'm not sure if this will get rid of the H*R links, but it'll get rid of the external link icon at least. <pre><nowiki>/* Get rid of the stupid arrow after external links (only for http for the time being) */
#bodyContent a[href ^="http://"] {
background:inherit !important;
padding-right:inherit !important;
padding-left:inherit !important;
}</nowiki></pre>Just paste that code into your monobook.css, which I've linked above. For specific sites, just enter the www part of the URL after <code><nowiki>a[href ^="http://</nowiki></code>.

Hi guys, given the interesting request, I'd like to comment on something that's been on my mind for quite a while: although i find it neat to have link pictures next to H*R links etc., I find them more of a hassle than a benefit for various reasons:
#IE users do not see the links, as such, IE and firefox users will see different versions of the pages and sometimes, these minute differences can and have caused display problems in tables and such that only firefox users can notice.
#There are many times when the link picture itself does not render itself correctly (my guess is because it is used as part of the "background" property:
#:like I mentioned before it does not render well in tables, (they used to not have a clear background but that's been since fixed -- and example for firefox users can be found [[HRWiki:Tour/Halloween_Fairstival|here]]),
#:and if you want, for some weird reason, to have really small links, (like this [[User:Stux|St]][[HR:|u]][[User_talk:Stux|x]]), it won't render as you want it to,
#: and if, for some reason you wanted to plainlink the link it doesn't work: (at least not for me)[[User:Stux|St]][[HR:|u]][[User_talk:Stux|x]] or [[User:Stux|St]][http://www.homestarrunner.com u][[User_talk:Stux|x]] it looks messed up. (This is just an example that I came up with, it isn't anything I intend to use for my sig :-p ;) )

[[Image:HRLinks.png|thumb|view from firefox]]
So, I am not suggesting that we get rid of this, I kinda liked the feature, but I'd really like it if:
# *everybody* could see the feature, and more than that,
#anyone could have an easy way of turning the feature off for a specific link ''without'' having to edit their monobook (if they really don't like it then they're welcomed to).
#Moreover, if the picture was actually treated as a "character" instead of a background element, perhaps it might work better in tables and stuff.

Any thoughts, ideas, comments, techincal know-hows, opinions? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:08, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

For the benefit of IE users everywhere, I have included a [[:Image:HRLinks.png|screenshot]] of the comment above so you may see what i'm talking about. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:16, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== Imageshack ==

How do I link to images on Imageshack? I'm having troubles. When I wanna link to an image on Imageshack, it comes out as a blue text link, not the picture. HOW IN THE HECK DO I DO THIS?? Whew. {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 12:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

:You need to type in the url of the image on your page without using <nowiki>[</nowiki>external brackets<nowiki>]</nowiki>. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== Easter egg image ==

Can you put an image on a page and when someone clicks on it it will go somewhere (like an easter egg)? {{User:404/sig}} 23:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
