Talkback
Please remember: Please use the template as so:   when you reply to one of my messages. I like to receive more messages. Math Cool  10  Sign! 01:34, 26 December 2008 (UTC) Also, you said Wikipedia was blocked. How did you manage to gain access?  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 04:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the talkback template causes confusion and trouble. And he unblocked Wikipedia because I needed it for my Islam review.  - electricRush  (  T   C  ) Sign!  04:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

monobook.js
You should move to somewhere like User:ElectricRush/Welcome New User.js, then add (or equivalent) to your monobook.js. This way the monobook.js stays cleaner.  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 05:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestion, I'll do that. - electricRush  (  T   C  ) Sign!  05:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Signature
For your signature, you could add  or whatever subpage you want for you signature into the signature box in "my preferences," then copy your signature into User:ElectricRush/Signature. This allows you to not have a signature length issue. Keep in mind that signatures should be (at most) 2-3 lines long. Hope you like my suggestion!  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 20:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will do that. - electricRush  ( T C )Sign! 22:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Woohoo! Done! - electricRush (  T   C  )Sign! 22:33, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Seriously, stop imitating everything I do (such as using my warning templates, updating your signature to have your style match mine). It's annoying.  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 03:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * For the warning templates, I needed to have a reference. As for the signature, I recall that I had that style a long time ago, other than the Sign! thing.  Anyways, you've copied my "Me on Other Wikimedia Projects" design and my bouncy wikipedia logo.  - electricRush  (  T   C  )Sign! 03:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I got the bouncy Wikipedia logo from another user's userpage (his/hers had a caption saying "The Wikimedia logo, except it usually doesn't bounce" or something of the sort). PLEASE USE THE Talkback TEMPLATE!  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 04:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Archive
You should create an archive here because it isn't 2008 anymore.  Math Cool  10  Sign here! 05:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It'll get automatically created. - electricRush  (  T   C  ) Sign!  05:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not getting created: your messages are being archived to the December 2008 archive instead of the January 2009 archive. Try fixing this. Math Cool 10 Sign here! 03:23, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Those are because the last post was in December 2008. - electricRush  (  T   C  ) Sign!  04:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Block tempates
I added some block templates that you can use to your user page. Math Cool 10 Sign here! 20:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Block Me
helpme Could an admin please block me from editing pages other than those on my watchlist until January 17th, if possible? Otherwise, just block me until January 17th as I am not taking my wikibreak as I am supposed to. ;) - electricRush  (  T   C  )Sign! 18:16, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Partial blocking is not possible yet, but check out the Wikibreak enforcer. NuclearWarfare  ( Talk ) 18:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Lol! But how were you able to reply then? Math Cool 10 Sign here! 20:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was using my IP like I am now. I just copied and pasted my signature.  - electricRush  (  T   C  )Sign! 18:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikibreak Enforcer
helpme Hello, this is electricRush. Could someone please remove the wikibreak enforcer from my User:ElectricRush/monobook.js? I am too addicted... I have already contacted several administrators about this but they don't seem to want to respond. Thank you very much! 71.112.82.91 (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Hmm... purging won't work. I guess I'll have to wait or try a different computer.  71.112.82.91 (talk) 04:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Science Debate Forum
This invitation you have added to several user talk pages, including mine, is pure spam and not accepted on wikipedia. Please stop. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  08:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * See here:

Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam.

 * Again, I question your relevance. The template was intended to warn users about placing links on articles, not talk pages.  For example, it sates, "If you feel the link should be added to the article," which infers the template refers to the adding of links on an article.  - electricRush  (  T   C  )Sign! 02:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

ElectricRush, continue adding your spam to user talk pages and you will be blocked. It's that simple. Additionally, take it out of your signature as it is against our signature guidelines to have external links in a signature. either way (talk) 02:33, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I suggest you either follow the directions correctly, or get a different archive bot, because this one isn't working.

Is there a way to display a random image, selected from a list of images, every time you visit a page? It would be very helpful for me.

 * I don't know of any particular template that does this but here is the link for randomly accessing freely licensed Wikipedia images http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random/Image and here's the one for random Commons images (all 3,841,889 of them): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Random/Image Someone better than me at coding would probably be able to make a template that automatically displays the images each time you visit your userpage. I'll leave up the helpme template to see if someone knows of an existing way to do this.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

 * (e/c)x2 Since a lot of people have seen this and not answered, I figured I'd do the next best thing. You'd have to go into your monobook and input the code to do it there - yes, it is possible, I just don't know CSS well enough to tell you how to do it.
