Isn't that picture to big of a file size? →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 00:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

According to policy the image should not top over 150kb. This image is 374 KB, and also not named right. --TalkPeople of Antioch 00:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thought so. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 00:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

...Well what else am i supposed to do for my layout. This stuffs worse then HTML. I dont see why you can just use normal comp. desig code --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:MechanicalMedusa (talk).

...You can use HTML? Calor Talk
(Edit conflict) I think I could pull it off with some time, but I really don't know about the font type.. Or, you could be cheap and break the images into 3 different files and pull them on under each other. I see nothing that says you can't. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 02:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The breaking it up into different images doesnt sound like a bad idea actually. But im just wondering why the big image file causes a lot of problems? Does it take up bandwith? Or the like?

Nav bar[edit]

So I hurd u ned a nav bar? →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 02:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeas, yes i do =S --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:MechanicalMedusa (talk).
Tell me what links you need, like Sandbox, builds, etc. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 02:28, 1 June 2008

Mkkay "Hero Details"
"Tracking"
"Guild"
"Armory"
"Extras"

=) Thanks so much for this <33 the font is Arrial Narrow fnt 11 if you need it.. Ooh btw, is there anyway to make the nav bar pictures of text instead of text,because i wanted to keep the same SpringTime text im using on the name. Just wondering. Okay thank you =D

Well, do you also want a Home and Talk tab? →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 04:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Home sure ... what would the Talk tab be for?
To take you to this page right here. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 04:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Ooh sure, hope theres anouth room for it ... MechanicalMedusa 05:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


Okay here's a simple as possible one. Tell me if you need any changes, color pictures and what not.

Home Talk Hero Details Tracking Guild Armory Extras


And yes, I can put pictures in there. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 05:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

mmkay, ill give you the pics for it, anyway you can make it the same size as my picture? the width not height that is so it fits perfectly ontop ... and no border if thats possible inbetween them
The width and hight automatically adjust to it. And yeah I can take the borders off. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 06:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Weird, i copied and pasted it into my profile, right above the image file and it just shows up as HTML do i need things like < div > </ div > etc?

You need everything

{|cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="5px" border="1" style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:0px;"
|- valign="top"
| width="12.5%" style="border-bottom:0px;" | [[User:MechanicalMedusa|<span style="color:Black;">Home</span>]]
| width="12.5%" style="border-bottom:0px;" | [[User Talk:MechanicalMedusa|<span style="color:Black;">Talk</span>]]
| width="12.5%" style="border-bottom:0px;" | [[User:MechanicalMedusa/Hero Details|<span style="color:Black;">Hero Details</span>]]
| width="12.5%" style="border-bottom:0px;" | [[User:MechanicalMedusa/Tracking|<span style="color:Black;">Tracking</span>]]

I'm going to work on the Arial 11 font thing. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 16:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually making the images right now so you wont have to worry about it, we can just match the background color to the color the images and plug em in. Should i upload it through this site or can i do it thorugh photobucket? MechanicalMedusa 16:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
You have to uploaded em under your user space. The [Img] tags doesn't work on wiki. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 16:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Another thing[edit]

(Edit conflict x9000) Try Category:Users providing user page layouts. They'll also help you out. I can code somewhat with wiki, but if you want to learn more about it, this will also speed you along. --TalkPeople of Antioch 05:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Image Naming[edit]

Hi MechanicalMedusa, images you have uploaded have been tagged for deletion due to improper naming, please see our image policy for proper image naming. Images uploaded for use on your user page should be named in the following format: user <user name> <image name>.<file extension>. For example, the image you uploaded here should be re-uploaded as User MechanicalMedusa Untitled-14 copy.jpg although a more descriptive title would be preferable such as User MechanicalMedusa Talk.jpg. Also when uploading please select the user space option under Image Use or manually place {{user image}} in the Summary field, thanks. --Kakarot Talk 16:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Can i go back and upload new versions of the image with the proper naming? Or will it end up beeing deleted anyway MechanicalMedusa 16:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
You will have to reupload them under the correct name as a new upload since thats the only way to rename images on a wiki. --Kakarot Talk 16:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) I found a problem with the image splitting though.. User's pages can be no bigger than 300k total. so I'll have to also make your page some what. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 16:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Well if the nav bar works out i can take some things off and put it on a different page? Or is your whole user info with all links and extra pages added onto it have to be 300k or under. Or is it just per page = 300K or lower? The preceding unsigned comment was added by MechanicalMedusa (talk • contribs) at 16:49, June 1, 2008 (UTC).
Per page. --Kakarot Talk 16:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
K, fixing it right now --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:MechanicalMedusa (talk).
I know we are a horrible pain in the butt, but your page is almost twice the 300k allowed. It looks cool, but it's just too large because of all the images. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 17:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Naah it's alright, i bet im the pain in the butt here with my fancyness xD MechanicalMedusa 17:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC) Edit:: I uploaded the cut images cut everytime i put them underneath each other they leave little white spaces inbetween each other. Anyway i can fix that? And i wont be using these two images: User_MechanicalMedusa_Middle2Info.jpg and User_MechanicalMedusa_Bottoninfo.jpg, could they be deleted please? MechanicalMedusa 17:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Use {{delete|u1 user request|speedy}} on the images. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 17:27, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Where? Theres no editing box or anything
Like, replace the page with that. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 17:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Wiki ing[edit]

Heya, I know you are looking for a 'style' but the images are just not going to work. The whole beauty of wikicode is how easy and flexible it is. I would recommend you spend some time designing a template that will give you your style but in wikicode. It's not that much different than html. You just can't be as image heavy because of our size constraints. We are not trying to harrass you, we'd all be happy to help. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 17:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, We could make that purple box with wiki. And everything on it. All we need is the little pictures. Like, the characters and etc. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 17:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, is this image too big? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/AnaLInfection/GW/backgroundCharacterInfo.jpg Exuce the user name. Is that okay for a background?

It's 91kb, not bad. I dunno if there is a background thing. →[ »Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png (talk ]← 18:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I was bored, so I did this. It's still a little big, but I wanted you to see that a nice page can be done with wikicode and still have some style. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 20:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Woaw that looks so awesome! Do i have to make it smaller to use?

No, you can just copy it over to your userpage if you'd like. The thing about using wiki code to do it is that you can easily change the information as you go, without having to reupload a new image each time. --Wyn's Talk page Wynthyst 15:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
