[edit] Editing problems

Hey, I saw on the main page talk that you had editing issues. One guy tried to answer, but he needs more info, I guess. You should touch base with him, or me, or someone, if you still have questions. Adjust your trucker cap sidewise, - Qermaq - (^T/C) 00:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Using Show Preview

Hello F123979, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want 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. 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. Thanks, — Defender1031*Talk 18:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

If you throw a {{userboxtop}} above your userboxes, put a line break between them, and end them with a |} you'll be able to fix your userboxes. Also, if you move your userboxes above your main text, they will float directly to the right of your text rather than below and to the right. Anyway, for your convenience, this is how your current userboxes would work:

{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox | border=#000000 | mainbkgd=#ED9121 | codebkgd=#FFFFFF | codecolor=#000000 | code=[[Image:Ffox.png|53px]] | msg=This user contributes using '''[[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]]'''.}}
{{userbox | border=#FFA500 | mainbkgd=#FFCE7B | codebkgd=#FFA500 | codecolor=#FFFFFF | code=[[Image:everybody-poster.PNG|50px]] | msg=This user's favorite character is '''BiscutDoughHandsMan'''.}}
|}

I hope that helps! OptimisticFool 20:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, F123979. An edit was recently made to your user page by an unknown IP address. According to wiki policy, this edit was reverted.

[edit] My sig and time

Thanks ^^! -F123979'd!

Your sig page there has no data in it, so of course it would be a red/dead link. Also, once you fill out your sig page there, go over to your preferences, stick {{User:F123979/sig}} into the signature box AND check the "Raw Signatures" checkbox. After you do all that, use ~~~~ (four tildes) to post both your new signature from the sig page AND the time/date automagically AFTER your new sig. For an example of what you can put in a sig page, you can check out mine.
