A record for all changes
Does anyone else think that the text for 'A record of all changes from January 3rd to...' ect should be changed to just 'January 1st?'. (And all the other accompanying years, for example: January 6th - December 16th = January 1st - December 31st, for example, in 2003). I find it kinda confusing, like we somehow missed the first few days and last few of the year or something. It's still a record of changes for those two days, it just so happened that nothing was updated. Does anyone agree with me on this? [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 18:03, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Actually, we probably don't need any part about the month and day. Would something like "A record of all the changes in 2004." work? -- Tom 18:19, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Sounds good to me. You wanna change 'em? (See also 2001 talk page) [[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]] 19:38, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
H*R.com Updates & Updates '05
Do these two pages really need to exist at the same time? I say we remove this one and just keep H*R.com Updates. Gafaddict 23:06, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- The reason this page exists is for future indexing. It contains all edits done in 2005. The H*R updates only has the most recent updates (about five or six months is acceptable.) →evin290
- I really think that with the new main page, this template is now unneeded, and instead we can direct users directly to Updates '05. Anybody object? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- No objections here. I think having two pages violates Once And Only Once. You have a good idea there, Thunderbird. I'm late joining the party, but I must say your contributions to the 2001-2003 updates were most appreciated, Thunderbird. —THE PAPER PREEEOW 5:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

RSS Feed?
Is it at all possible to make this page an RSS feed? computerdude33
- See HRWiki talk:FAQ#RSS or ATOM. -- Tom 23:48, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. -computerdude33
- Also, I found this feed, provided and hosted by theblackforge.net. More information can be found in this livejournal post, the livejournal feed page, and the livejournal feed info page. -- Tom 17:45, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
is it me or
are the H*R.com updates getting smaller and smaller? We have not had a short in more than 2 months!! -Kinsey
They have been focusing all of their work on the DVD, and the Strong Bad emails. Me thinks. Oh yeah, and Stinkoman too. They are just busy. User:Rogue Leader.sig
And why does it say that when the "I'M THE HUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" quote came out the font was changed bauhaus 93. When was it not Bauhaus 93? ——↑Darklinkskywalker|Talk_|i did this stuff_↓ 14:24, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I swear I saw this in the Store on Wednesday, was it just on display then? Or has it just been noticed. --82.32.90.55 08:18, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- You know, I swear I saw this prior to Friday. I just can't remember when. I just didn't think much about it. Shame on me. —BazookaJoe 09:23, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- In an effort to find the correct date of release, I've found our good friends at BHZ have documented the first sighting on Tuesday, August 16, 2005, 09:57:46 PM (my forum time), which is August 16, 8:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time, which is 00:57 UTC 17 Aug 2005. We can only assume that it came out shortly before that, on Tuesday. —BazookaJoe 10:15, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Main Page Messages
What do we do to the days that have a Main Page message like "new sbemail a-comin'" and "new toon soon"? Remove them once the full update comes out or keep them? —BazookaJoe 14:19, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Dude, I don't know. Really, they DO come soon. So I'll be ready when needed. The 386
- Joe- I say keep 'em. I think it's nice to keep a record of these things. —FireBird|Talk 23:20, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Email Rap and Random Email feature
What proof do you have that this was released on Friday, September 9? I don't remember seeing it until today. —BazookaJoe 11:51, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Did you look there September 9 and not see it? - Joshua
- I don't remember seeing it this weekend. I'm surprised it wasn't added until today. Wouldn't someone notice that before then? —BazookaJoe 15:41, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Well, the wiki was down during the weekend. Didn't you know that? - Joshua
- Find me a forum entry or anything noting this change well-prior to Sunday night (circa 0300 UTC Sept 12), and I will be content. Because I can't find any trace of anybody noticing this change before then, and I find that hard to believe. —BazookaJoe 19:37, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Somebody could have found it but never bothered to post it. But I have no proof for and against it. Who posted the update at that time? I would think it would have been released at the same time as the main page version. - Joshua
Turns out it was some IP adress. Go ahead and change it. We have no proof either way. - Joshua
- I don't know why Tom said in his edit summary, "Random toon was on Friday the 9th," but I am going to move Random Email feature and Email Rap to the Monday update. I still can't find any note about this being updated on Friday, not even from BHZ; and I am fairly confident it was still "And that's why I like to scroll with scroll buttons" when I checked it yesterday. —BazookaJoe 21:21, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- The edit summary was my mistake. I didn't see the Random Button on the front page at the time, which was why I changed it back in the very next edit with an edit summary of "Okay, there we go." I think the way we have the dates now is correct, with the additions of the random stuff all happening on Monday. -- Tom 02:36, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- Whew! And that's a wrap! —BazookaJoe 02:38, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Active Desktop page?
Would it be possible to make an active desktop page for updates? So that it would tell you on your desktop when a new H*R update is available, and have a link directly to hrwiki.org and homestarrunner.com . . . All it would have to be would be a page with only the newest updates in a square box, small enough not to disturb the desktop.. i was thinking of just putting the whole home page of hrwiki.org as a desktop item (as its called in XP) but then it would have the whole side bar and everythign else, and is designed to be viewed full screen. Another idea is an IE toolbar that just flashes when somehting new you haven't seen has been added to the hrwiki or h*R.com. just an idea. i always go to hrwiki.org when i first get on internet explorer, but it would be cool if it tells me when something is new to save me the trouble of going there in the first place. --Collin 21:13, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
