I still have the preview image cached - it was an pseudo-instructional video about how to install the Digital Video adapter kit for analog TVs... something like that, anyway. —Dr Ishmael

Music Userbox

Can you plz help me (and all who read) I'm trying to created a Music Userbox but I can't get it right. My goal is to make it just like the {{user Xfire|Username} So sort of like this: {{User Music|xKVPWMvi_ko=en&fs|Rock}} If I look at the Xfire Userbox it puts the username there by Replacing {{{1}}} so the Music User box Has {{{1}}}} and {{{2}}} Wich 1 will be Youtube so the song in the Logo and 2 will be the text in the Userbox. Can you plz help me. Your the only one I know with self created userboxes. Here is what I have and what it Sould have been (there only tests):

EmbedVideo received the bad id "{{{1}}}=1|Made by: **The Falling One**" for the service "youtube".

{{{2}}}

Regardless of whether it is excessive or not, I think it can't be done because the <youtube> tag can't work that way.

In the end, wouldn't Userbox do the same? Sure, slightly different color, but that's adjustable. ---

-- (contribs) (talk) 15:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but you can say that for most userboxes. This one has the different default colors and a centered, styled font for the song title, so it does make sense to have it. --◄mendel► 16:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Uhm well... Your the expert :P But what’s up with that Rick? Isn't music better in there? {as I said your the expert xD)-- † The Falling One© 20:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's the default title for the default music. Why is "music" better? Do you think someone copies the youtube code and forgets to write a text for it? --◄mendel► 20:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes because:

Hi, nice to see you're back, hope you had a nice trip, stop kicking Warwick please.

I was afk or I'd have taken it up with you directly, but kicking Warwick off irc because of what Nova quoted above (is it even true?) and the second time because Warwick said the wiki loads slowly is completely random to me; it appears to be unfair, and the stuff good quality drama is made of.

What you're seeing is the private seller price (Amazon no longer stocks it); books that are no longer in print sometimes go that high. --◄mendel► 00:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I know, but the fact that Amazon puts a tick saying "low item price" makes me lol Random Time 00:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Interesting spam

I just received an email entitled "your health site" from the "webmaster" of "acne assassin": My comments in italics

Hello, As I was surfing around msn

So, MSN is the internet now?,

I discovered your website: http://guildwars.wikia.com

May I point out that nowhere I have said that I own GuildWiki, however, complementing spammer is complementing

I am trying to add as many informative websites as possible to my site. Which in turn will benefit my users as well as provide you with relevant traffic to your site. I have a website with about 5,000 - 7,000 people on it per day who fit the same demographic as your site.

Obviously trying to sell some kind of ad deal, I can see the potential, apart from your target audience is spotty teenagers

If you follow this link,

<REMOVED> - the site's name is acne assassin, if you're curious

you will see that I put your link on my homepage.

no such link found when I copy/pased the URL

Some website owners do not like when other sites link to them so I thought I might ask for your review.

Please get back to me when you have a chance, to let me know if the link I have placed suits your needs. Also if you would like a custom Title for it just send me a email and I will get it updated.

Have a good weekend, Olivia Reynolds

So -

How did "Olivia Reynolds" (Herafter refered to as "that clever spammer" discover that I, Randomtime was the sole owner and site admin of GuildWiki, a fact that I didn't know myself?
Should I continue the conversation, if so, suggetstions please? :P
And will GuildWiki ever accept me as their new leader?

All these questions will probably never be answered on User talk:Randomtime

Comments? Random Time 18:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

If I was still bcrat right now, I'd promote you just for kicks so you could go forth as our official liasion to Acne Assassin. Just think - ProActiv could buy us from Wikia!...

For your rather nasty comments of me on my userpage. Is that how you welcome new people who are trying to help GuildWiki? Sorry if I came across a bit of a dickhead, but what's the point of a userpage if I has to be utterly factual, boring and unhumorous? AMFan 15:03, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there!

You may remember giving me a stamp, I'm here to ask your permission to use it out of context.

I can't tell you what for "out of context" so I'm afraid you'll have to take a shot in the dark, but it will be used, only, on my UserPage.

STRange, I guess we need to CONcentrate and find who or what (someone called DEXter, I think) is doing this, it should be an INTernational effort - involving many lucky CHArms. we need the most WISe from both wikis working on this Random Time 21:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

There are far too many games using those stats for it to be a reference to any single one. D&D most likely, knowing you.

in-game browser

I know you don't like to write articles (if I don't confuse you with somebody else), but could you review/update In-game browser via Steam and stub me an article (or a section on the steam thing if you shortened that) for the playxpert widget? Or maybe just reply here with some details? --◄mendel► 22:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind article writing, I'm just better at other stuff, PlayXpert's wikia widget is basicaly an ingame browser which runs via PlayXpert which in turn is a modular tool for in game multitasking (you can install widgets to do most things, wikia widget came installed) Random Time 17:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that article is now a lot shorter. What do you think, could we add comments on PlayXpert and Xfire into it and move it to "in-game browsing"? --◄mendel► 19:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that would probably work Random Time 20:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
