:I figured out a scrolling method that allows one text box to be visible at a time, then chipped away at the game in a Notepad document over the course of a few months. Then did it again for the second one.

Revision as of 00:53, 22 November 2022
bit o help there?Sup Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, Im here to give you a couple pointers on a few things. 3. Show Preview: I've that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I'd like to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right, or checking to se if the above templates exist. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded.
Outdated ConversationsHey Gfdgsgxgzgdrc; just thought you should know that it is generally advised not to reply to conversations that are more than a couple months old unless you have an argument of some kind to bring up. People are on the ball around here, and things are generally taken care of pretty quickly. basically, pay more attention to the timestamps. if there isn't one, look around the talk post for others that are logically nearby. If the talk post was added in 2006, the discussion is probably dead by now. Also, if you want to put something on the talk page of a user who hasn't been here in a while, on the left side of the screen, right under the search box is a "toolbox" menu. you can click on "User contributions" in that menu and see how long ago the most recent date was. If they haven't been here in a couple years, maybe refrain from putting anything on their talk page. These are just basic guidelines to follow to keep the wiki running more smoothly.

April Fools'Regarding your recent edit to the Main talk page, it's not as bad of an idea imo as the follow-up edit would suggest. The problem with your idea this time is the fact that you suggested it in the first place. If you spend much time on the forum, it's just like proposed Halloween costumes: suggesting one practically eliminates any chance of it ever being used on the site. It removes the element of surprise. Additionally, as far as i'm aware, the bureaucrats aren't really looking for suggestions, and even if they were, they would not want the suggestions to be publicly announced for the same reason. However, if you believe that it is a great April Fools' Day prank, you are more than welcome to replace your user page with it when the time comes. The Knights Who Say Ni 06:49, 28 December 2011 (UTC) Scalawaggery"It's", with the apostrophe, is always short for "it is". If "it is" does not make sense, the correct spelling is "its". You wouldn't say "Strong Bad's Computer Exceeding It Is Technical Specifications", would you? --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 02:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Homsar WikiHey Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, I noticed that picture you have of Homsar. It's really funny. I was bored and decided to make an improved one for you, but you don't have to use it though. Hope you like it! Tenerence Love 22:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Main Page 15How was the Main Page 15 picture without the button effects better? The other main page pictures have buttons turned on. --Fangoriously 12:34, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
fish i lenzI fixed the Fish Eye Lens subtitles some time ago and found out today that it was you that broke it. The Gfdgsgxgzgdrc. is GROUNDED. - Catjaz63 22:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Edit SummariesHi Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, I wanted to drop a reminder about edit summaries. I wish I had noticed this sooner but almost none of your contributions have any edit summaries. Edit Summaries help other editors know at a glance what it is that your edits are changing. So please don't neglect edit summaries and let the community know what it is that you're working on. Thanks and keep on tranglin'. --Stux 19:00, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Main Page 26 subtitlesWhy does Main Page 26 have subtitles? the amount of frames you're listing isn't even on the page for me and none of the buttons use the Flash frames. Is it just me? - Catjaz63 13:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Meat and Cheese SubsYou gonna finish those subtitles? - Catjaz63 00:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm honored, but......is it really important enough to redirect "Purple Wrench" to Hremail 62? Are users searching for it a lot? I mean, I guess Homestar Dinoland does redirect there too... -- ■■ PURPLE WRENCH ■■00:29, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Hey man.Thanks for helping me with uploading pictures. I didn't even know that! Anyway, I kinda need some more help with creating a signature. I dont know how to do that. -Mml554
new update!!!!!Dude,Homestar Runner's LIVE!! There's a new update!!!! :D Mml554 talk
Thanks man! My only problem is I don't know how to make that my sig, since copy/paste doesn't work.
The orange one should do.
Nope. Thanks! Mml554 talk Sorry to bother you, but can you make the picture a link to my talk page? Thanks, Mml554 talk Incomplete articles are not necessarily stubsYou nearly doubled the size of that article. (Great! Unfortunately the "Others" section is rather unwieldy and is in dire need of further organization.) Still, that didn't necessarily make it a stub. A stub is an article that is so bare bones that it can't be considered encyclopedic yet. The stub template is supposed to be a cue to the reader that the current content is basically a placeholder. Once there's some real meat to the article, it loses its stub status, even if it can still be expanded quite a bit. Likewise very short articles that can't be expanded because there's nothing else to add are not stubs. They're just short. I did a random sampling of the articles currently in the stub category and noticed that most of them are probably not stubs. Also, edit summaries of articles are in general a poor place to make editorial comments directed at specific users. Cheers. — It's dot com 05:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Subtitle TipsHey there! First of all, thanks for doing the subtitles. And so far, they've been great! But I want to give a few criticisms if you're fine with that. First, you should edit in your subtitles in one go. Use Notepad++ (I recommend Notepad++ heavily) or whatever text editor you desire and just type down the whole subtitles and release it in one go. There's really no point in releasing it in segments like with transcripts. Speaking of transcripts, don't include elements in transcripts such as italics on shows or other material like Seinfeld and don't include notes such as {speaking in a southern accent}. Transcripts are supposed to be a secondary source of the toons' actions while subtitles are meant to be a guide to the toons. Subtitles are supposed to simply show what the characters are saying and nothing else. (Besides SFX) Also, speaking of editing, test, test, test. Your last subtitles update has numerous errors in it, including a pretty obvious error with a line's start being before the end of a former line and an odd error where you had a starting bracket in the middle of a line which the all-in-one mistakes for a target. Testing subtitles before release and checking the timings to be as close as you want are good ways to make great subtitles. Other than that... you did a great jorb. - Catjaz63 02:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
Anahnimus KuntribewtoreYour edit summaries have not gone unappreciated. TheThingé 06:07, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
Creating redirects for a potential renameHey, I've noticed that a couple of times, there has been a discussion of renaming an article, and you've created a redirect in the intended move space to the already existing title. This actually achieves the opposite result than what we're looking to do, since it effectively keeps the page from being moved to that title. (I once tried to move Family Resemblence to the correct spelling of "resemblance" but was informed that I couldn't because the redirect was in place. I didn't know at the time that it was intentionally spelled that way.) Most recently you supported a move from "Keyboard Strong Bad" to "Casio Head Strong Bad", but then you created that redirect back to the original title. If we want to move it, we don't want the "Casio Head Strong Bad" redirect to exist, or it probably won't be moved there, as was the case with The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects with its suggested move to The Brothers Chaps' Other Projects. If you could chill on that for a while, that'd be great. The Knights Who Say Ni 17:32, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Transparent imagesHi, Gfdgsgxgzgdrc. I've noticed you've been uploading images with transparent backgrounds. I question the necessity of that because it removes important context from the images. If you think this is something we should embrace, I'd like to see a discussion on HRWiki:Standards about it first. Even if we do decide to do it, you should not overwrite the old images. Please upload using a new filename instead. — It's dot com 03:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
WhoaWow, I didn't realize you were CoolGuyBug from Scratch! I'm i-like-luigi, by the way, if you didn't already know. -- Mml554 talk 23:42, 24 January 2017 (UTC) About "Cut it out"Hey. Just thought I'd mention something to you: Usually, telling a troll or vandal to stop won't help. Many of them actually like it when people are angry or annoyed at them, so in some cases, it may only encourage them toward more trolling and/or vandalism. Usually it's best just to make a simple edit summary like "rv/v". Anyway, thanks for the reverts, and keep on tranglin'. Heimstern Läufer 06:20, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
Transparent images improvalPlease improve the transparencies on humidibot.png and AWFy.PNG. I can see visible pixels around both images. --78.160.150.38 21:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
ThanksHey, I just wanted to say thanks for cleaning up my edits yesterday. It's been quite a while since I edited the wiki, I just saw an unfinished project that seemed easy to work on and did a bunch of them when I had some free time. Freshasabagel 04:13, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Replacing the content of an imageHello. I'd like to direct your attention to File:SB bathroom.PNG and File:LaundryRoom.PNG, which are just two examples of images that you've replaced recently. I don't have a problem with updated or stitched-together versions of images, but if the content of the new image is dramatically different from the previous version, the new version should be uploaded under its own filename, especially if the old image has stood for years. With rare exceptions, we should completely overwrite an image only to improve some technical or compositional aspect of the image without changing the subject. — It's dot com 23:42, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Look here...Look here bud... My contributions were worth while... OK? (My notices and legal stuff were kinda stupid... BUT STILL!) The reason I edited that "FeedBruner" Article was because none of the "Old Feed Content was not old and is still on the FEEDBRUNER! So I suggest you all get with the program, and by "program", I mean the guidelines set forth on... Er... Eeeerrr... OH YEAH! https://www.gov.uk! (Oh wait I don't own that website... DOH! Don't go on it you won't find me there... I was just... thinking... of a website... to use...) Anyway! My main point is, please at your immediate convenience, talk to me at my talk page, so we can deal with this matter. Hows that? Huh? I may be a kid, I may be naive, I may be stupid, I may of only joined this wiki yesterday! But I'm very political and kinda know my law stuff! OK?... M'KAY!?!? CoachZiscool1978 (Man now I feel like Derek Savage, I gotta stop getting angry at miniscule things...)
Lets talk ok? I was very mad at what you "did" to me, and... I guess the anger got over me a little... bit... yeah. (Thats what I'm going with) But I'm sorry if what I did was upsetting to you... I just fight back when I'm mad. On a higher note, You like my Coach Z? I took a lot of care into making look unique so I wouldn't be a user with a boring Coach Z... CoachZiscool1978 08:16 5th September 2017 (UTC) PS: The whole thing about "So I suggest you all get with the program" thing is just edited quotes from Marzipan's Answering Machine 17.2
Ok I'll take note of that... CoachZiscool1978 21:54, 5th September 2017 Because I can't put it any better than It's dot com did that one timeTake a look at this. It was in the aftermath of this catch by a new user.

Template:@Just wanted to say a quick thanks with regards to your template work, and more specifically about the {{@}} template. Turns out the template helped me inadvertently fix an issue! In this edit I switched to using the template and didn't notice until I was checking the preview that the old link was incorrect! So pretty cool beans! --Stux 13:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Glitchy Glitches?Hi Gfd, I noticed that a lot of entries had been removed from the Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches page. (The RC shows a 1354 character reduction which doesn't balance out with the 272 character increase in remarks.) Were those removed because they were no longer an issue in the latest version of the application? Or were they never an issue in the first place? Or were they perhaps out of scope from what the page should cover? I started trying to go over them but realized many of these needed to be played through and/or carefully reviewed. I just wanted to get your rationale since a somewhat significant portion of content ahd been removed. Cheers, --Stux 07:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
