Man, that picture of Ugly Betty starring you down on the main page needs to hurry up and go! Yuucchhh!!! I'd much rather see [[Jason Badower]]'s drawings of Hana from (''[[The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 1|The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 1]]'' or ''[[The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2|2]]'') !! <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 06/29/2007 15:46 (EST)</small> |

* And that's only Part 1! Let's hope she turns into her [[Candice|future form]] quickly in Part 2! ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:49, 29 June 2007 (EDT)) |
|||
**In Part 2 there won't be any hints of her future form, but she will change her look quite a bit. Just look for her to try to fit in a bit. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:49, 29 June 2007 (EDT) |
|||
I changed the very old "Next Graphic Novel" section to direct to [[Heroes Reborn]]. No spoilers, just a point to the new page. I figure that it should be a bit more prominent than it is. Also, I figure that's what people are looking for when they come to the site. Any objections? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:21, 20 April 2014 (EDT) |
|||
== possible look change? == |
|||
== Language Bar == |
|||
Dunno where to discus this or how much sense It'll make but here goes: I think This site needs to have a look that is significantly different than the default carbon-copy-of-Wikipedia look. |
|||
reasons: |
|||
1) Aside from the comic book cover logo, the site looks exactly like Wikipedia. I recreationally browse both here and there, and at times forget where I am at because of the same look for both sites. I realize this when I go to look up something, say lemons, and find no articles here on lemons. If it were similar to, say [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Main_Page Memory Alpha], in that it does not look like Wikipedia with a logo change, this might be avoided. |
|||
2) It looks to sterile for a cool show such as Heroes. |
|||
Am I right or is it just me?--[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 17:49, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* Last I heard, Admin is still open to add/reviewing new skins, that's what really controls the layout. When I checked it out before, it looked a bit complicated to make one, and Admin himself has to add it (you have to e-mail the file to him, I think). That said, there are already several skins in the options. You can change what skin you use by changing your preferences.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 18:11, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Ok, how do you make a skin for this and what can be done to make it the default for everyone?--[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 18:36, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*** You can read the main help on skins at [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Skin]] and examples of other skins at [[Wikipedia:Meta:Gallery_of_user_styles]]. That should get you started.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 18:49, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
****Personally, I like the skin we have, and wouldn't want a different one to be my default. However, I think it'd be cool if somebody wanted to do a test to redesign the main page to look a little more like a comic book. Maybe take a cue from the inside of the new [[DVD]] with panels that overlap, perhaps add some text bubbles. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:10, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* Yes, I'm still open to a new default skin or changing the default colors of the current skin somewhat. Regardless I'd make sure the old unchanged skin was still available for selection. It's a bit of work to create a new skin, so what I'd suggest is if someone's skilled at it they come up with some conceptual drawings of what the new skin would look like and present them here for feedback prior to actually implementing the skin.

** I'm not too familiar with the coding, but I'll help with whatever needs to be done (I'll just have to look at some examples done to get a feel for it). So if someone does have an idea, I'll be more than willing to help knock out some code for it. I used to do a lot of HTML coding in high school.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 20:41, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*** [[Wikipedia:Meta:Gallery_of_user_styles]] has some good examples of what can be done... the internal coding looks to be in PHP language. I've done some PHP coding but I'm not good at it yet.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 21:43, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**** I had a PHP class last semester, so I can use my text to help out with that (I got pretty good towards the end of the class).--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 22:55, 2 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**** Taking a look at that link, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_user_styles#Skinori_Bluedi this one] looks prety good, something like that would look nice, perhapse with a color like the 9thwonders.com background--[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 01:24, 3 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* What I did to tell the difference is download this thing called Stylish, and then got a new userstyle for Wikipedia. As far as I know, however, it only works on Firefox. Its a pretty good short-term solution. As for a new look, I'm pretty good with graphics, so if you guys want a new logo or anything like that, leave me a post on my page or something. I'd love to help out. --[[User:Avenger29|Avenger]] 05:11, 22 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
I combined the [[Template:languagebar|languagebar]] with the [[Template:mediabar|mediabar]] since the language bar was looking kind of skimpy. I changed the name to the all-encompassing "Sites Related to Heroes Wiki". If it's an issue, let me know and I can revert everything. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:57, 8 April 2015 (EDT) |

==Season Two Characters== |

* Looks good to me! ([[User:Admin|Admin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 17:00, 8 April 2015 (EDT)) |
|||
*Aren't Takezo (David Anders) and Monica (Dana Davis) going to be 3 of the two new main characters, along with Maya? Theres Sylar, Ando, MAya, Monica and Kensai. Right? Or am i wrong. o.O So confused... lol. P.S. MAth B sucks! [[User:Jason Garrick|Jason Garrick]] 15:46, 30 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** David Anders was not credited with the Principal Cast in ''Four Months Later''. Dana Davis hasn't appeared yet, and neither has Sylar, so we have no actual confirmation about whether they are "officially" regulars or not.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:06, 30 September 2007 (EDT) |

== appearance in different browsers == |
|||
[[image:HW_FF_IE7_SBS.jpg|right|500px]] |
|||
Something curious I noticed today about the difference in appearance of the main page in Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. We are square in IE 7, but well rounded in Firefox. :) --[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 19:25, 8 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*It's a problem we're working on. See [[User talk:Hardvice/May#Email|here]] and [[User talk:Admin#Rounded Corners - involved?|here]] to read a little bit of our disjointed discussion about the issue. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:35, 8 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**I don't believe thats a problem. Its just the different rendering software used in Firefox. Firefox tends to make alot of graphical changes to pages. So yeah, thats not a site problem. Just a feature of The Fox.--[[User:Avenger29|Avenger]] 05:11, 22 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** The fix ends up being more trouble than it's worth for something so minor as rounded corners. I'm just glad that's essentially the extent that IE7 mangles the site. If anyone using IE7 wants the rounded corners, there's a simple solution... and links to that simple solution all the way at the bottom of this page.

== Newest articles special page? == |
|||
I like seeing the number of articles on our little site grow, but I would like to see the newest ones that qualify as content. Is there any way to see that, or any work on making that possible, similar to as seen on is on Wikipedia?--[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 01:25, 28 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* [[Special:newpages]]. Is that what you're looking for? I find it to be really nice because I can specify the namespace. For instance, I periodically check to see if there are any new theory pages, since they sometimes are neglected from being added to the theory portals. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 01:30, 28 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Ah! thank you!--[[User:SacValleyDweller|SacValleyDweller]] 01:48, 28 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
== "Article of the week" == |
|||
Our "article of the week" is not really an article of the week. It's really just the latest episode, and probably always will be. To match "Latest Graphic Novel", I think we should change the heading to "Latest Episode". Any objections? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:25, 16 November 2007 (EST) |
|||
* I think we should still have an "Article of the week", though adding a subtitle such as: "Article of the Week: Latest Episode" is a good idea, imho.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 23:20, 16 November 2007 (EST) |
|||
* I thought about that a while ago. I say rename it to "Latest Episode" like you suggest. If we ever do start using it for anything else we can always rename it very easily. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 22:30, 16 November 2007 (EST)) |
|||
* One question: what happens in a couple weeks when we have neither new episodes nor new GNs? Or are they getting non-TV writers to do the GNs like they did for the summer?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 22:31, 16 November 2007 (EST) |
|||
**I haven't heard anything. I don't know what to do if we have no new content, that'll be a first. I suppose for the main page we could actually do an article of the week. As for everything else, I'm going to catch up on my sleep. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:36, 16 November 2007 (EST) |
|||
***I agree--{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 22:41, 16 November 2007 (EST) |
|||
**** I'm not sure they're hiring any new GN writers like they did for the summer. According to Jason Badower's blog, Jason was contacted about drawing/coloring for the GN after the eleventh episode, but the GN was pulled when the writer (who is on strike), asked for it to be pulled. Jason also mentioned that the writer had an artist friend in mind to do the drawing. Also, the producer Tim Kring is on strike, so is unavailable to vet new GN scripts, so it's not like they can just hire outside writers. As far as I know, NBC isn't yet suing its show-runners/producers to get them back on the job (CBS is, though...). My recommendation is that since there is no new episode or GN, that we should cover the strike in "Article of the Week". I think the writers, producers and actors would appreciate the solidarity from the fans. Since we are just *fans*, it can be an objective take summarizing both sides. Anyways, that's my suggestion.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 23:20, 16 November 2007 (EST) |

Heroes Reborn
I changed the very old "Next Graphic Novel" section to direct to Heroes Reborn. No spoilers, just a point to the new page. I figure that it should be a bit more prominent than it is. Also, I figure that's what people are looking for when they come to the site. Any objections? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:21, 20 April 2014 (EDT)
Language Bar
I combined the languagebar with the mediabar since the language bar was looking kind of skimpy. I changed the name to the all-encompassing "Sites Related to Heroes Wiki". If it's an issue, let me know and I can revert everything. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2015 (EDT)
