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)

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)

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.

- 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)
- No, and if you did a hard refresh, you wouldn't either. — It's dot com 15:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Icons
How do you get character icons to put in your signature?
- Help:Icon. Simple as clicking the Help link in the sidebar and finding your topic there before coming here. — Lapper (talk) 00:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
problems loading peasant quest
I have WinXP on my laptop and loaded all activex stuff, removed quicktime as suggested, and still no peasant quest. Alls I get is a black screen. Can you give me some pointers on how to load the game?
Thanks,
Joel, USA
- I may not be very knowledable on this, but you may not have the latest Flash plugin installed, or you may not have this plugin enabled. You should be able to see the flash file itself. — Lapper (talk) 07:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Bringing back a word
I made a post here earlier about people saying (WTF). I have found a spot where is it said. Jay said it in an edit summary for Welcome Back. Like I said earlier I think that this should be against the rules and people who say it should be warned.--H*Bad 18:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Leave the wiki
What if I want to leave the wiki? How do I do it? Stringbodhunier
- Easy. Simply stop loading the site in your browser. — It's dot com 17:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Password forgetting
What happens if someone forgets thier password and if they didn't put in thier e-mail adress so they can't notify anyone about that?
- What account did you register? — It's dot com 23:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Actually I see that you went ahead and registered a new account. Did you give up on the first one? — It's dot com 23:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Fanstuff Accounts
I don't know if this has been asked, since I really have to catch a bus right now. If you make a HRWki username, does that give you the same username on the Fanstuff Wiki? The4sword
13:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- No, the two are seperate wikis, so you have to register an account there separately. Heimstern Läufer

What's Wrong?
Every time I try to log in to the forum, it shows me the "You may have entered an inactive or invalid username or password" message. - Hi, I'm Brandon. This is my first day on the Wiki. Okay bye.
