User boxes?
Hi, I saw you created a couple userboxes, how do you do it? I'd like to make an anti-trivia one --AW 18:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

user oops does not work on sub pages
I have a subpage for user boxes, not sure how many others do, but I found that I had to subst the user oops template and add the link to my talk page manually, since the function returned User_Talk:Jonaboff/UBX (a page that does not exist). Simply replacing with  will not affect the use of the template on user pages, but will allow use on first level sub pages.

Subst'ing the template was ok for me, but may not be for users less familiar with wiki mark-up.

I would have made the changes myself, but I thought this was the most polite thing to do.

Thanks, -- Jonabofftalk 13:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I have changed the template, and have also added usage instructions to the template page. I have done the same to the other 3 versions. Thanks, Jonabofftalk 20:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I like your talk page... can I 'borrow' some ideas?
I am just enquiring as to whether you would mind me 'borrowing' the banner from the top of your talk page and the method of archival from your talk page.

Are they original ideas, or did you borrow them from someone else?

I also think that the "hidden comment method" should be included on How to archive a talk page, as I think it is a simple, efficient and effective method. Unless you have objections I will go ahead and do this.

I have added the Werdnabot template to my page and set up an /archive subpage, although nothing has, as yet, been moved as my talk page has not been in use for very long. Thanks, Jonabofftalk 20:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * After some 30 seconds of deliberation, I decided to make my own talk page banner, although I am still interested in using the archive method. I may stick to the Werdnabot method anyway, so that my archive is searchable and can be linked to (why I want this, I don't quite know) but either way I think its simplicity would benefit other users so would like to add it to the How-to. Thanks, Jonabofftalk 20:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, and thanks. I'm finally happy with my user space, so I can get back to editing articles =D. See you around! Thanks, Jonabofftalk 17:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

RE: Help on Ogg
Thank you for the help. What I ended up doing was simply using RealPlayer to open these files instead of Windows Media Player. I want to be able to use the ogg files, here on wikipedia, without having to open a window and then drop them in. I'd much rather just be able to click on the ogg, here, and have them come up in, and that was accomplished through making RealPlayer my default for these kind of files. Is it possible to do this with Windows Media Player, though (i.e. simply opening ogg from Wikipedia and having them play in the player)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Criticalthinker (talk • contribs) 20:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Re. Portal:Portugal
Thank you for your support. I guess I'll step into it alright. It's a pity that such a nice portal is being neglected. Best regards,--Húsönd 18:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I knew about Esperanza. A couple of MfD's put an end to it. It could've been reformed, but it just had too many foes and little will to revive what used to be a great project. Pretty sad. :-( Regards,--Húsönd 19:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am now a maintainer of Portal:Portugal and suggested the portal to implement the rotation system of Portal:Basque. Your opinion would be most welcome. Cheers,--Húsönd 21:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am the creator and one of the maintainers of Portal:Basque. Me and another maintainer had to create a policy to organize our rotation system. I proposed applying this to Portal:Portugal coz I have no idea how they used to choose the selected content there. Anyway, Portal:Portugal's been stalled for months now so I guess it's a bit awkward for someone to oppose such a change.--Húsönd 23:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hi Saoshyant, please tell me where I did write the / on the wrong side. Lucky those who never make mistakes... In fact, whatever side you choose, it is the same, isn't it ? I will prove it to you: Nonsense.HeRV- waiting for your reply. 18:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)~
