Problem with this extension at HRFWiki:HRFWiki talk:Autocolumn. I don't think he's using it right, but this is way over my head, so I don't really know. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 03:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure (in fact, it's just a random guess) but perhaps the templates are being expanded before the autocolumn thing does its work... so if the userboxes take up more than one line of code, it might be split in the middle... I'll have a tinker. --phlip ^T_C 03:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, so that's not it... --phlip ^T_C 03:55, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, whatever it is, it's not a direct problem with anything that the extension or The Mu are doing... if you remove everything on the page except for the userboxes, they work fine. I remember something on Venusy's page, where unless you removed the userbox tower, all the <pre> and <nowiki> tags would stop working... I don't know if we ever found the cause then, either. --phlip ^T_C 04:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

And it's a similar problem here... if you remove and/or subst the {{User:The Mu/Homsarquote}} thing, it fixes the problem. Don't ask me why. --phlip ^T_C 04:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

This is another case where I think the enhancements I've made to both homsarquotes and autocolumn for version 1.6 will work better for cases like this. Unfortunately, I can't apply the same fixes to the 1.5 version, as they depend on features only available in the new version. I do have hope, however, that our upgrade will happen soon. — It's dot com 04:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Isn't 1.12 > 1.6? — Defender1031*Talk 07:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
