==Matt feedback loop file==
== [[Special:Wantedpages]] problem ==
My computer (and probably a few others') do not support .ogg format. Would you mind reuploading [[Image:Powers peter matt.ogg]]. [[User:Shoyru1177|Shoyru1177]] 18:51, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

* Unfortunately, .OGG is the only audio format supported by MediaWiki for uploads by default, in part because it's free and open source. Codecs like MP3 are actually proprietary and licensed and thus cost money.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
Hey I don't think you're on right now, but if you get this, could you check out a problem that some people are having with the red links page? [[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] says it might be that someone swapped in the test.heroeswiki.com domain this morning for the home page. I'm a bit clueless. See [[User_talk:Ryangibsonstewart#Episode:EpisodeTitle|here]] for details. Thanks! &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 20:05, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
* I think [[User:Admin|Admin]]'s the only one who could have done so. We had the same problem back when he created the Episode: namespace, and he was able to fix it by running an update of some sort. I assume the same applies now.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 21:02, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
**Thanks. That's kinda what I thought, but wasn't sure. Techno jargon is not my strong point. :) &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 21:21, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
*** What's this about test.heroeswiki.com? That's a test site I use personally and nothing here should reference it. Did something happen? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 23:09, 2 May 2007 (EDT))
**** Dunno. [[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] said the main page and some templates are pulling from it, but I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:10, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

== Rubber stamp ==

[http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Molly_Walker&diff=prev&oldid=60952 As requested], here is your <nowiki>[[User:Ryangibsonstewart/Rubber stamp|rubber stamp]]</nowiki>.

== Thanks ==
Thank you for helping format my posts. Sometimes I get so caught up trying to get information out to everyone that I don't concentrate on proper formatting. Thanks bunches!! [[User:Disney42|Disney42]] 21:13, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

==New Page==
I was going to set up a new page for Goofs, but I was wondering what catagory I should put it under groups, or things, or something else? Get back to me! Thank You!--[[User:Perullama429|Patrick]] 16:42, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
* [[:Category:Production]] has all of the behind-the-scenes stuff (everything that's about the show itself, rather than about the plot and characters and such).--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:01, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

==Where I use to live==
Oh I'm from Powys.--[[User:Sage18|Sage18]] 14:47, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Oh that kinda funny, Well it was nice meeting you. How long have you worked on this is wiki?--[[User:Sage18|Sage18]] 15:15, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
* Since very nearly the beginning. My user number is 6, I think.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:20, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

WOW!--[[User:Sage18|Sage18]] 18:52, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

== Upgrade ==

* Not sure if you saw my note on the [[Heroes Wiki:Administrator Portal|Administrator Portal]], but I upgraded MediaWiki from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0 over the weekend. Has a few new features that are documented in the release notes (there's a link to them on the portal). ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:49, 21 May 2007 (EDT))
** I looked through the release notes a bit. Nothing monumental, but some nice little changes.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:50, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
***One small thing that I like is that the amount of bytes are included in the history. It'd be nice to have the +bytes and -bytes, but that's okay, I can do some simple math. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 14:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
****They didn't release a patch from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0. I think they wanted a full upgrade, but I've modified some of the code and really didn't feel like having to go back and find all the changes. Fortunately a quick "svn diff" between their 1.9.3 and 1.10.0 releases gave me a nice patch file that I was able to test and apply successfully to bring the version up to date. Keep a lookout for any messed up PNG thumbnails. I had to pull that code out prior to applying the patch because it looks like they may have fixed that issue themselves. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:55, 21 May 2007 (EDT))

== Why hello there ==

*There is a crazy person stalking me all over the internets, and I stumbled on this wiki with plans to wreak havoc and was surprised to see your name on the sysop list, so I didn't since I recognized you from ED and think ED is (or was) the shit. Anyway, this person months back put on your userpage that I impersonated you and now I'm edit warring with him over it... it seems like the polite thing to tell you. [[User:Miltopia|Miltopia]] 14:14, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
** So it looks like making Hardvice a sysop has definitely paid off! ;) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 14:16, 24 May 2007 (EDT))
*** Fun and excitement follows me every step of the way. Much fun can be had by checking out [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Hardvice Hardvice's contribs] on Wikipedia (no, he's not me.)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:51, 24 May 2007 (EDT)
****Saw that a while ago. My favorite were the additions to [[wikipedia:obesity|obesity]]...and the justification that it was a self portrait. Classic. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 17:16, 24 May 2007 (EDT)


So Miltopia said he found this wiki "with plans to wreak havoc" which means he planned to vandalize and troll and it's doubtful he even watches the TV show. Good thing Hardvice is a sysop here. Of course Miltopia is lying as he is the one who stalks everyone (e.g. MONGO, Tbeatty, etc.) Also I only linked to diffs saying hardvice was impersonated on Wikipedia and the text links only said "here."

Miltopia also claims that everyone who hates him (and it's a lot of people) is just one person and if you want to have fun, if you revert Miltopia then his paranoid fantasy will include you as the one person who is after him. [[User:Bugmenot|Bugmenot]] 03:03, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

== Happy Birthday, me! ==

So I just got a DVD recorder for my birthday. Awesome. I've recorded a few episodes onto DVDs, but I'm wondering what the next step is. I know you recommend Virtual Dub, which I'm downloading right now. Is there anything else I should know? &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 20:06, 28 May 2007 (EDT)

== CBR ==

Looks like you got one of your questions answered in one of the recent CBR [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10692 interviews]. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 21:38, 31 May 2007 (EDT))

== Everything ok? ==

* Haven't seen you around much. Everything ok, or just been busy?
** My laptop is out of commission, so I have extremely limited Internet time ATM.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 02:54, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
***Well we've certainly missed having you around. I thought you might've been hanging out with [[User:Orne|Orne]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:56, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

== New Series Crew Portal ==

Hey there. I know you're not around as much lately, but on the off chance you might be checking in, I was wondering if you could help me out. I added [[Portal:Effects Department]], and I have a feeling more series crew portals will be coming. Adding in the 64 combinations to the See Also list at the bottom of [[template:crewnav]] is, well, a pain in the ass. My thought is to get rid of the logic and just go for a straightforward list instead. That would mean the see also would include a second link to the portal for that person, but I don't think that's a big deal or a bad thing. Unless you want to work out the logic for adding a new portal (or give me some tips on how to do it), I'd rather drop the logic altogether. Thanks for your help, Hardvice. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:31, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
* *Sniff* I love that template. If you can wait a day or so, I'll fix the logic. It's a pain, but it does exactly what we want. I'd hate to compromise just because it's easier.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:21, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
**That's cool, I'm in no rush. I love it too, but I haven't cracked it yet. I just wasn't sure if you'd be around to fix it up. I do plan to add another portal or two sometime soon, so you're in for some challenges. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 03:24, 20 June 2007 (EDT)
***Just a quick update: there's actually two new portals to add to [[template:crewnav|crewnav]]: [[Stunts]] and [[Effects]]. By my count, that makes 128 combinations. Good luck. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:27, 21 June 2007 (EDT)


== Voice of Reason ==
== [[Intuitive aptitude]] ==


It's good to have you back...or at least to see your name more than just once a day in the RCs. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:08, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)
* Looks like it! BTW, I should be back full-time on Monday (project is wrapping up) -- anything major I've missed in the last two weeks?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:51, 7 February 2008 (EST)
* Yeah, welcome back. This mean a new laptop? :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:11, 28 June 2007 (EDT))
**The server crashed and I single-handedly recreated the entire site... :) Nothing major, just a few fun graphic novels. Evolutions has been quite slow lately. Glad to see you back. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:54, 7 February 2008 (EST)
*** Currently using my Wii. Typing is very slow and I h8 Opera, but hey...--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:07, 1 July 2007 (EDT)
*** Please... as if I don't keep backups. :) As for the intuitive aptitude, that's really neat. I find it amusing when I see people call it that even on Wikipedia when I believe it was a term Hardvice coined right here. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST))
**** [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Sylar&diff=next&oldid=9670 The proof is in the pudding]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:08, 7 February 2008 (EST)
*****I'm glad to see it got shown on tonight's episode. Not all of us get to impact the show in such a way, y'know? --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 02:40, 17 February 2009 (EST)


== [[:Category:Characters]] autocat ==
== DVD ripper ==


Is there DVD ripping software you particularly like? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:58, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
Why was the autocategorization for [[:Category:Characters]] [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Template%3ACharacter_box&diff=160568&oldid=158029 removed]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
* [http://www.slysoft.com/en/ AnyDVD + CloneDVD]. DVDShrink used to be the best, but I think it's been abandoned. For pure ripping (as opposed to ripping, reencoding, and burning), you can't beat DVD Decrypter. It's a bit slow but it does a fantastic job and has good error correction.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 21:47, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
* I don't recall exactly.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:33, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
**Thanks. Much appreciated. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:57, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
** So no objection if we restore it? I'd rather have the template autocat all the characters than have some characters have the cat and others not. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:36, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
*** I'm pretty sure it was doing something undesirable, but I guess we'll find out what if we restore it.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 18:37, 7 May 2008 (EDT)


== He lives! ==
== Account Removal ==


Do you think you could remove my account and the associated user and user talk pages, then remove this? --[[User:Sgtbenc|Sgtbenc]] 20:17, 11 May 2008 (EDT)
* It's a miracle! :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 00:48, 18 August 2007 (EDT))
**I'm thinking we should fill the site with spelling mistakes to draw him out. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 01:11, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
*** Yeah, I still haven't replaced my laptop (long story), so while I'm still ''reading'' RC, editing anything is a bear until after 10 PM (by which time I've got a ton of other stuff to do) since I'm stuck using the browser on the Wii. But I'm still here, I swear.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 01:14, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
**** So does the increasing number of edits recently mean you've replaced your laptop now? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 12:59, 6 September 2007 (EDT))
***** Still no. But now that the weather's better, my dogs are willing to spend more time outside and don't need to be babysat constantly, so I can sneak into the office a bit more.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:00, 6 September 2007 (EDT)


== Lostpedia Family Tree Help ==
== crewnav ==


[http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Family_Trees Lostpedia] are trying to do a Family Tree thing like the ones here. I don't know if you watch LOST, but I heard you could make the trees. Help would be appreciated! You don't have to. Thanks [[User:DECBOY23|DECBOY23]] 13:44, 14 May 2008 (EDT)[[User:DECBOY23|DECBOY23]]
Hey, when you get a second, will you add [[Portal:Stunts]] and [[Portal:Effects Department]] to [[template:crewnav]], or at least give me the lowdown on how to do it? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:38, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
* I'll get on it tonight. I'd explain how, but first I have to ''remember'' how. :) --[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:57, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
** What is it you actually want to do? Expand the the "See also" list? [[Template:Stunts]] and [[Template:FX]] are already included as options...and when I look at people in Stunts and FX, links to [[Portal:Stunts]] and [[Portal:Effects_Department]] are already appearing on the left-side.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 19:15, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
*** Right, it's not expanding the "See Also" section to list all of the Series crew portals to which the person in question doesn't belong. That requires a lot of expansion of the portal's logic. It's pretty easy to do, but the number of options increases geometrically as you add new portals. So it's not hard, but it's a bunch of fiddly edits.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:23, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
*** Here's an RTF file with the logic tree in it as it stands. Basically, in the first section, each <nowiki>{{#if: {{{other|}}}</nowiki> needs to be split into two options for FX, and each <nowiki>{{#if: {{{FX|}}}</nowiki> needs to be split into two options for stunts, making 4x the current number of combinations.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:38, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
**** It's not or it is? If it's not, why the long explanation for doing that?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 21:34, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
***** It is not currently set up properly. Instead of saying "See Also: Series Crew • Graphic Novel Crew • Cast", like it does now, it should say "See Also: Art Department • Directors • Effects Department • Producers • Writers • Other Crew Members • Graphic Novel Crew • Cast". Compare [[Elle Alexander]] (stunts only) to [[Tim Sale]] (art dept. only) and you'll see the difference. Plus, there's no logic in place for someone who is both an effects artist and a director or any other double/triple/quadruple threats that might come along involving effects/stunt people. Fixing this requires adding logic for FX and stunts to the template, which is what Ryan and I were discussing.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 21:47, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
***** Ah, I understand your confusion. By "it's not expanding the "See Also" section", I mean "the template is not expanding the "See Also" section". You took it as me saying "the issue isn't expanding the "See Also" section." Damned antecedents.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 22:00, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
****** Exactly... that was my confusion.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 22:04, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
**** Thanks for the logic tree, Hardvice--it helps a lot. Would you like to add the logic, or would you like me to do it? I'd feel more comfortable with you doing it, but if your computer is an obstacle, let me know and I'll go ahead and make the changes tomorrow. I just don't want to double the work if you're planning on doing it. :) Thanks. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:03, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
***** I'm working on it, but it's going to take me a while to get it all typed out. I keep getting distracted and losing my place, but ti should be done sometime tomorrow.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:20, 10 September 2007 (EDT)


== Power names help page ==
== Gun identification ==


Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of [[the Bennets' gun]] is? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
* If you feel so inclined, do you think you could take your [[Talk:Bliss_and_horror#Power_Names|discussion]] on power naming and create a help page based on it? It looks like a good start to a policy on naming powers and it's clear the issue of naming powers isn't going to go away anytime soon. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 02:40, 25 September 2007 (EDT))
** Sure thing. Will do so tomorrow, provided I don't sink into a Halo hole.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:01, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
* I really can't tell from the pictures we have.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
**I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Taurus-605-left.jpg] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [http://www.waffen-hanje.de/Hanje-27-10-03/Taurus-605.jpg] [[User:Chrisyu357|Chrisyu357]] 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
*** I'm not an expert either, but the grip in [[:Image:Noah_grabs_his_gun.jpg|this image]] doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the [http://www.meprolightoutlet.com/item/9863_Taurus_Hand_Guns_Pistols__85__Ultra_Light_Re.aspx Taurus 85 Ultra Light], but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

== t-shirt ==
* I fixed [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]], but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
**Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
*** Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

I was reading your userpage and I couldn't stop laughing at your theories. I really understand what you mean. Also love your skeptisism, Kinesokinesialkinesis and Autodefenestrokinesis but you forgot to add Claire to it as all she seems to do is throw herself out of windows :) --{{User:Irony/Signature}} 11:28, 14 February 2009 (EST)
* Sent you an email... letting you know in case I'm still going to spam. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 21:55, 29 September 2007 (EDT))
** Looks like somehow you dropped off the whitelist. Weird. You're back on. In any case, I'm back on FF but I can check on IE in a few minutes.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 22:27, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
*** Works great! How do it do it? Nifty indeed.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 22:31, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
**** It's explained [http://webdesign.html.it/articoli/leggi/528/more-nifty-corners here]. I'll bring over the CSS and JavaScript so we can retrofit the templates at some point. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:33, 29 September 2007 (EDT))
***** Hmm... though for people without JavaScript enabled it could be a pain. Plus since it's JavaScript based I've noticed a brief delay when refreshing where the borders aren't rounded and then as the JavaScript is applied it rounds them. The first part I'm not as worried about, but the second part could be annoying. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:46, 29 September 2007 (EDT))
****** Actually, the refresh issue only appears to be when I do a full refresh and it has to redownload the Common.js. So on normal page loads it would be ok. Not a big deal then. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:51, 29 September 2007 (EDT))
******* Would we be looking to replace the moz corners, or can we make the Javascript browser-specific? The rounded corners in Firefox are still better (in that they don't have to load), so it would be nice if we only ran the Nifty corners for non-Gecko browsers.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:45, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
******** The JavaScript can be browser specific and we can tell it to only use Nifty for IE... as long as it's possible for us to apply Nifty to those templates without any changes that disrupt the display in Firefox. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 23:48, 29 September 2007 (EDT))
********* Yeah, I was monkeying around a bit over there to see how compatible I could make the CSS side of it with elements we're already using. We might have to add a bunch of special classes, but I think it can work pretty well, with some finagling.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:58, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
****** As for JS disabled, they show an example and it looks like it works pretty seamlessly: [http://html.it/articoli/esempi/articoli_pro/nifty2/nifty10js.html enabled] -- [http://html.it/articoli/esempi/articoli_pro/nifty2/nifty10nojs.html disabled].--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:46, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

Matt feedback loop file

My computer (and probably a few others') do not support .ogg format. Would you mind reuploading File:Powers peter matt.ogg. Shoyru1177 18:51, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Unfortunately, .OGG is the only audio format supported by MediaWiki for uploads by default, in part because it's free and open source. Codecs like MP3 are actually proprietary and licensed and thus cost money.--Hardvice (talk) 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Intuitive aptitude

I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)

  • Looks like it! BTW, I should be back full-time on Monday (project is wrapping up) -- anything major I've missed in the last two weeks?--Hardvice (talk) 17:51, 7 February 2008 (EST)
    • The server crashed and I single-handedly recreated the entire site... :) Nothing major, just a few fun graphic novels. Evolutions has been quite slow lately. Glad to see you back. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2008 (EST)
      • Please... as if I don't keep backups. :) As for the intuitive aptitude, that's really neat. I find it amusing when I see people call it that even on Wikipedia when I believe it was a term Hardvice coined right here. (Admin 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST))

Category:Characters autocat

Why was the autocategorization for Category:Characters removed? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

  • I don't recall exactly.--Hardvice (talk) 18:33, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
    • So no objection if we restore it? I'd rather have the template autocat all the characters than have some characters have the cat and others not. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:36, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
      • I'm pretty sure it was doing something undesirable, but I guess we'll find out what if we restore it.--Hardvice (talk) 18:37, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Account Removal

Do you think you could remove my account and the associated user and user talk pages, then remove this? --Sgtbenc 20:17, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Lostpedia Family Tree Help

Lostpedia are trying to do a Family Tree thing like the ones here. I don't know if you watch LOST, but I heard you could make the trees. Help would be appreciated! You don't have to. Thanks DECBOY23 13:44, 14 May 2008 (EDT)DECBOY23

Gun identification

Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of the Bennets' gun is? Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

  • I really can't tell from the pictures we have.--Hardvice (talk) 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
    • I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [1] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [2] Chrisyu357 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
      • I'm not an expert either, but the grip in this image doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the Taurus 85 Ultra Light, but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Help with a useful template you made

Hey, I have a problem with Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two. I used Template:gueststarsnavcell, but I can't get the random pipes to go away. Any suggestions??? Thanks.--Bob (talk) 00:08, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

  • I fixed Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two, but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
    • Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--Bob (talk) 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
      • Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Talk:Portal:Future Characters

Can you come contribute to this discussion Talk:Portal:Future Characters when you get a free minute...trying to avoid a potential snowballing problem with all the new stuff being added. Thanks --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 09/23/2008 12:57 (EST)
