As per your IRC query

The transparent version of the file doesn't look great, but you were the one who uploaded it... so I don't see why you asked. User Felix Omni Signature.pngelix Omni 00:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Ummm... no, I wasn't the one that uploaded it, I put a drop shadow around it to give it some definition on the yellow background of the front page.... look at the file history again before you say stupid things. Oh.. and btw, I made the change to it AFTER my IRC inquiry was left unanswered by anyone for several minutes. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 00:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Yea, it was quite hard to see until I hit Ctrl+F5, The drop shadow makes it far better on the eyes.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 01:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
K, I won't bother answering your questions anymore. User Felix Omni Signature.pngelix Omni 02:03, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Link to a section

How do you link to a section within a page? I know there is a way to do it, but for the life of me I cant find it (Tried looking through your archive, people like stuff in there all the time, but got nowhere fast). If you or anyone can tell me how, Id appreciate it ^^.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 22:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

[[Pagename#Section Header]], like User talk:Wynthyst#Link to a section WhyUser talk:Why 22:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Haha, I thought it was that, but didn't try it. Thanks.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 23:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Transparency

>_< Incredibly sorry to bother you again, but I have a problem. I tried to make a new sig pic (thanks to whoever added the SUBST part, figured that out bout 30 min after I templated my signature) that wasnt a PNG. The reason being is my monitor displays all PNG files extremely dark, and I have no clue why. It never happened till I actually IDed the monitor and got the drivers for it, but now I cant fix it. Anyways, I made a new sig [2] using GIMP, and made it a GIF file following instructions that would make it have a transparent background. Well, it didn't work. So do you know how I can make it transparent as a GIF, or know anyone that would be able to fix it for me? Not having Photoshop is killing my editing skills.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 01:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I can fix it, but just so you know you aren't allowed to make a sig template as per GWW:SIGN. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 01:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
/steps on toes User Felix Omni Signature.pngelix Omni 01:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
File:User Neithan Diniem Sig2.png I made it a png. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 01:14, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I checked the GWW:SIGN and followed the Transclusion rule that is the only exception. Also, unfortunately PNGs are extremely dark on my monitor >_<, I can barely make out that pic. Do you know how to make it a transparency with GIF?--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 01:25, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I made your current sig pic transparent already. :) User Felix Omni Signature.pngelix Omni 01:33, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Ive used your change to give me an idea, Hoping itll work. Your change accidentally made the white of the helmet transparent as well, So I'm gona try separating the helm from the white, then add the transparency to the background. Similar to what I saw you do, but hopefully leaving the helm intact. Thanks for the help so far guys, I appreciate it.----Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 02:12, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
That's why I didn't make it a gif. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 02:25, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
I get what your saying too, now that I tried my idea. Yea, Im gona need it to be a PNG for it to work correctny, but my blasted monitor is just... Gah. Ill compromise with what I made so far I guess, then fix it for certain when I get a new monitor. Thanks for the help though, and sorry to cause this trouble.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 02:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
...Or I can get a tech guy to tell me how to do a roll-back on my monitor's drivers... Wow. Sorry to have caused trouble, but Now PNGs look right and I got a sig pic that looks good. Extremely sorry to have put anyone to any trouble, again. But at least I guess I got this danged problem fixed. Now just to add a delete tag to a few pages I made because of this and get them removed. (Fixed the sigs above, they were improperly named in my preferences, but they work now)--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 03:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
You should be able to calibrate your monitor, or adjust the gamma to solve the problem, regardless of the drivers. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 04:15, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Nah, it was only PNG images that were effected, something in the color file the monitor used. I tried to change the file but it changed nothing. Gamma made everything mess up. Having the default "Plug and play" driver Windows throws on all devices that run w/o factory drivers works better than the one they give me.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 04:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

my talk page

Wyn, im in need of help, on my talk, as far as i can tell, all the coding is fine, but there is content below what is displayed on the page, mind taking a look at it? thx --The Scythe User The Scythe Has Fallen Sig2.png Has Fallen 02:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

My being eligible to vote in the election

I left a message on my own talk page, but just in case you don't check there I'll copy it here as well. From what I can see I have 156 edits in the Main namespace, so I don't see how I couldn't vote. Also 51 in the File namespace, so unless I'm missing something important here, I'm more than eligible to vote. RazoR39999 23:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Also since the voting starting on the 19th I had 152 main contribs, but that's still 52 more than 100. RazoR39999 23:44, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Userpage help

Hey Wyn, i need some help with my userpage layout... anything you can do would be great! Spotina 23:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, you need to tell me a bit about what you want.... -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 01:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

:-)

I was stalking your page, and i saw that most people only ask you for wiki help, so I decided to leave you a message about something else ^_^... so how's it going? :P Spotina Talk 14:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

LOL! It's going fine. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 14:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Your Hero Builds

I found them quite helpful and original. I actually run a majority of them the second I get the hero and they don't break the bank on equipment to make them work. Great job and thanks for posting! For The Quin 16:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I think your Anton build has become outdated due to a skill update though. Great builds none the less.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 16:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
All of them are ancient. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 16:34, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Well 95% still work better than what I've come up with. What's the deal with Goren and Norgu not having elites though? I just threw one in but I was wondering why there wasn't one in the first place haha. For The Quin 08:43, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

User page template thing

Hi, im trying to make a page for myself but coding isnt really my thing, i break more things then i can fix (thank god for preview button) and i was hoping that you could help me with it. I managed to get the fun box to work (sort of), but i figure i really need a pro for the rest --

PS: Hi, hows it going DX DemonicFahrir 10:31, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Feedback section talk pages

Hey, Ive noticed that several of the talk pages for feedback sections have had suggestions posted in them. I made a mock-up notice template that could be posted on these talk pages stating what that page is for and the like. Wanted to know what you thought. Here is the template (Uses the {{PAGENAME}} template). Maybe put in the notice that suggestions improperly posted will be deleted from the talk page or something. Just wondering if you would want to use something like this for the feedback space to help keep it tidy (big notice signs seem help sometimes).

Hope you have a nice day ^^.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 06:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I made a few changes, I'm not fond of a lot of bold text in your face. I also adjusted the colors to match the feedback space. I'm not so keen on the red warning icon... -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 08:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Its not a problem for those kinds of changes, what I made was only a suggestion. Once a generally accepted form of the template is made, moving it to a real template page would be best. Having it in my userspace would probably not be good.--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 21:12, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Ryslaw and his vandalisms

Hi, Wyn! Please do something with Ryslaw. He still do vandalism's in Polish Localization Bugs feedback pages. Reports was ticked by Yes, but I checked it in game and it was still unsolved. edit=autoconfirm? User Demonical Monk av.png Demonical Monk 16:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

He wrote me, he is from Albion Localisations. Please contact with him and agree or disagree his oficial position. User Demonical Monk av.png Demonical Monk 16:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey

I have to talk to you. - Reanimated X 11:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Wanted by the Shining Blade

On the talk for this page, Someone has noted that the quest list is out of order. Would you know how to re-organize the Category to show the quests in proper order?--Neithan DiniemUser Talk:Neithan Diniem 00:01, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Categories are automatically sorted alpha by page name. You can force sort by placing the variable in the category tag. The problem however is not with the category. I believe it's the DPL that is alpha sorting them, and if there is a way to specify the sort order in DPL, I don't know what it is. Ask poke. -- Wyn User Wynthyst sig icon2.png talk 03:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
