Announcement: I'm no longer active. My talk page is still your best bet to get in touch. —Aichon— 04:39, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Please be aware of the following guidelines before posting here.

• New conversations should be started at the bottom using a level two header (e.g. ==Header==).
• I like to keep conversations wherever they start, but if a conversation ends up here, I will keep it here.
• I will format comments for stylistic reasons, delete comments for whatever reason, and generally do anything else within reason.

Thanks. —Aichon—

Thanks. I'll look into it on my copy of FF and see if I can come up with an idea of what's up. I don't really check most of my releases in FF, since 99% of the stuff just works in it as well as Safari, but it's possible it's something I miscoded for FF or else something interacting oddly with those scripts. —Aichon— 19:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Aichon. I just noticed something. [1] Take a look at the inventory. Now look through the drop-down list for dropping items. It says I have a Toolbox, but it doesn't show up in my inventory. If I disable the Item Combiner of yours, the toolbox will appear, like seen here: [2]. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 00:24, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I have that script and I do believe it hides certain buttons like spray can and flak jacket. Stuff that wastesAP if clicked on fron your inventory. That's probably it but Aichon could tell you for sure. ~ 00:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Yep, Vapor got it. It hides a few buttons that simply waste AP if clicked. It doesn't even get them all honestly, since I was lazy with implementing it, but I was just tired of having these buttons that didn't do anything and took up AP if you mis-clicked. —Aichon— 02:35, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Could really use some help....

I'm really confused on the if then templates, and was hoping you could help me. I'm looking to use the templates to create a chunk of code that would work similarly to the random page feature, but for items underneath my user namespace. Is it possable to do with the if then templates? -Estacado^Talk 23:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

You have run out of Aichon Points
Aichon Points regenerate at the rate of 1 per non-douchebag move. Please come back tomorrow or when you've proven you aren't a douche.

~ 00:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Is that right?
Well, you know what I heard? PISS OFF, that’s what I heard!

-Estacado^Talk 00:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I lol'd. I usually call my arbitrary point system just "bonus points", but I might have to nick that from you since it's clever and obvious. —Aichon— 02:39, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're asking for (I blame it on the lack of sleep and illness...a few hours ago, I was speaking gibberish since I was so tired apparently). Anyway, if what you're trying to do is have a random page/template appear as a chunk of another page in your userspace, you might want to take a look at what Mis has done with his main user page. You can't actually do random, but you can have it vary by date and time. If you can explain to me, in detail, what a working concept would look like to the end user, I can probably give you better instructions for how to do it. —Aichon— 02:39, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Basically, Special:Random, but for my namespace.... ie,.... click the link, and you go to a random subpage of mine. -Estacado^Talk 03:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

No. You can create a link that will appear random, but not a truly random one. You'd need to nest two Switches together, probably CURRENTHOUR and CURRENTMINUTE, although just the latter would probably work on its own. Then list the outcomes for each possibility, badda bing. 03:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Yep, Mis is right. Basically, you don't need the if templates at all, and should instead look into the switch one. With this version of the wiki software, there's no way to do truly random stuff like that, but Mis' answer is the best one we have. —Aichon— 03:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Cool,...? -Estacado^Talk 03:29, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Possable.,,,! -- LEMON #1 03:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

could really use some help,,,,,,,,,,,,.............

I'm really confused on being a decent user, and was hoping you could help me. I'm looking to use the wiki to create helpful information that would work similarly to a normal website, but just for urban dead. Is it possable to do without being a shitcunt? -- LEMON #1 02:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

PS I'll spam you for every minute you don't respond. Then when someone tells me not to I'll relentlessly recite lines from Diana from Paul Anka. -- LEMON #1 02:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have a "no newb" policy on this page, and since you're trying to be polite, it's obvious you have no idea what you're doing around here. Unless you cause a scene right now, you're going to have to leave. I'm taking you to rabies, VD, and Miscondick anyway though. I have principles, after all. —Aichon— 02:44, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

-Estacado^Talk 03:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh, but that was really f'ing funny! -Estacado^Talk 03:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't, which is why you're such a pathetic person to watch. Every second you spend on here you think you're hilarious, when you're just projecting a 5 year old making a penis in the sand and laughing hysterically at it. -- LEMON #1 03:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Better to be someone ignorant enough to not know any better, than someone smart enough to, and care less. At least I don't instigate. -Estacado^Talk 03:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

That for real? 03:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Haha yeah fuck off. And of course you don't instigate. -- LEMON #1 03:35, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh you're just pissed I can do shit like that, and get away with it. -Estacado^Talk 03:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I can't speak for him, but I'm annoyed, not because you get away with it, but because you do it at all. —Aichon— 03:42, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm bound to try it again too... shit like this inspired me the first time... -Estacado^Talk 03:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

It was okay. I've never been a big fan of image-based humor, however. There are some that are good, of course, but by and large, I feel that it's overused. —Aichon— 04:17, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

You know what... DDR wins... he's always screwing with me... So.. I'll pull an iscariot and just leave... -Estacado^Talk 03:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

You'll never have that man's class. 03:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Do it if you want, if the only two options for you are a) be a pest or b) leave the wiki, I'd much rather you leave. This time, I'll be left without regret. -- LEMON #1 04:18, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Humourous suggestions

I was going through the history of our latest n00b's talk page, and noticed that you said that the humourous suggestions edits where in archives, and shouldn't be changed. AFAIK, they may be archived, but are left open for comments/mock votes regardless. After all, it is humourous, and voting is never tallied up and closed -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:21 20 December 2010 (BST)

Yeah, I realized that quite a bit after the fact, and you're 100% correct. I had thought the archives weren't supposed to be edited, but yesterday or the day before when I was reviewing his edits, I realized I had made a mistake in saying that when I noticed some text somewhere saying that it was permissible to edit them. Humorous Suggestions have never been a part of the wiki that I've been especially familiar with, since I don't follow them or their proceedings, so I had assumed that they functioned somewhat similarly to the main suggestion system, where once they are done, they're done. I was going to re-review his edits at some point and see if I needed to restore them, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. —Aichon— 18:16, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Humourous suggestions is a quiet backwater of the wiki, with no real rules, just common sense, where people just fix things up the way they want without any drama. Doesn't get much press ;) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:15 20 December 2010 (BST)

Hmph

You know, I never thought you were a Knight, although in hindsight it should have really clicked a lot earlier. If not simply for the educated method of posting, then definitely for the white mask and notches in your gun. --Ash  ^{|  T  |  яя  |} 13:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, since I play all sorts of different characters, it's not surprising that people don't realize I have ones in certain groups or playing certain ways. And unless the Knights come up around here, my affiliation with them usually goes unmentioned. Besides, having secretive members is part of who we are. —Aichon— 19:58, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I have a knack for telling which Knight is which. You may proclaim to be secretive, but I know you all like to personalize the insides of your mask. DT draws ponies on his.

Happy hunting! --Ash  ^{|  T  |  яя  |} 18:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

My bad

There was no bad intention in messing with your vote, just... poor judgement. My bad, please don't take it as assholery. ~m ^T! 03:45, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

I didn't take it that way at all. I just wanted to make clear that it's not something that I wanted done to my comment and that it wasn't necessary in this case. In other places it may be necessary, but not here, thankfully. —Aichon— 06:24, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

A'ight, then. You know, we all have our fits of dumbness and assholery and all this shit from time to time, I was just making sure. ~m ^T! 19:50, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

No!!!!!!!

-MHSstaff 03:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Lol. Like I said in the edit summary when I posted that, I'll likely be around for a few more weeks, but I didn't want to take anyone by surprise, so I'm posting it now. —Aichon— 05:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

You'll be sorely missed around here when you go, Aichon. I like the way you're stepping out, though. Like you're weening us all off slowly. Good luck with the degree and all and be sure to poke your head in from time-to-time and check in on us. From one Texan to another, farewell. ~ 05:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I like to ease out of places most of the time since there are less questions. Plus, I don't have anything else at the moment to fill in the time I've been spending here, so that'll likely keep me coming back for a bit. If you ever find yourself in College Station, let me know so I can treat you to lunch/dinner. And who knows where I'll end up come this summer? —Aichon— 06:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I have a cousin graduating at A&M this summer so I might be able to take you up on that if you'll be there. ~ 06:25, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, if things go well, I'm afraid I won't be here, but we'll see. —Aichon— 07:08, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

A sad day indeed. -- Spiderzed▋ 13:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, nobody ever leaves the wiki. Just ask me. Linkthewindow  Talk  06:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, same thing happens to old message boards I left years ago. I'm sure I'll be around. ;) —Aichon— 07:08, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

another post I note, I know you couldn't leave whilst people continue to make random statements on the wiki! --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 18:43, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Almost sounds like you're trying to get rid of me. :P Anyway, I said I'd be around for another few weeks, and I meant it. While my contribs may have dropped off, I'm still lurking almost as much as ever. —Aichon— 18:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Not at all, a lurking Aichon is better than users who post on everything regardless, and the feedback from ex sops is really appreciated on the various promotion bids. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 18:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

How bad would a

single 54-case switch be as far as tree-hugging, terrorist-supporting wiki page magic inclusion things be? Would it kill the FA page?-MHSstaff 23:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

It'd actually be a 108 case switch statements (54 for current and 54 for previous), and it wouldn't be that bad. Each case would basically just have the unique portion of the link to each FA blurb, which would likely just be a few characters long, and anything that was common to the link could be put before or after the switch in the template so that it didn't have to get repeated 108 times. Shouldn't even be close to page-breaking if done right, but I'd suggest sandboxing it first to make sure anyway. —Aichon— 05:23, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Here is what I am thinking. A master switch template that calls one of 54 pre-generated templates based on the number of FA articles we have. Those templates then get the correct FA article based on the current week. I basically have a program that spits out the wiki code so its just a matter of copying and pasting. Here is the 17-article version for example, and here is a 43 article version. Here is sorta what the main template would like, and here is where I am calling it. This way, you wouldn't have to update as you voted in new articles. You just change the number of articles (nofa) variable in the page calling main driver template, make a new FA blurb page, and the main template picks the right one for cycling. What changes should be made? I can update the code to spit out the version with your suggestions but there is no point in copying and pasting it until we have something we all like. -MHSstaff 19:16, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Otherwise, you would have to edit the cases in the template each time you add in articles so the new ones will get called during their week, which would kinda suck. -MHSstaff 19:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

This was pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I had some time to wrap my brain around it. The only change I would make is to have a page (or template) which contains the nofo variable. User then just creates a new blurb and updates the page with number of variables and wiki magic does the rest. ~ 19:43, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I know exactly what you are saying, but I am not sure what that page would look like. Do you have an example?-MHSstaff 19:49, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

It would be a low content page. It's only content would be number of articles. That page is then transcluded on User:MHSstaff/Projects/TestingGrounds4 after the nofa variable. It would just save people from having to edit the main template which is doing the work. I guess it's not really necessary but might make things as simple for editors as it can possibly get. ~ 19:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, we wouldn't need 54 templates. Since there are already 18 articles, we could start there and go up to 54. Since only one of these templates would be in use at any given time, we'd need to have an ark to keep them off the scheduled deletion list. When a new article is added, the unnecessary template should be deleted.

I keep trying to think of a way of getting around creating 36 new templates but can't wrap my brain around it. ~ 20:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

It's easier to just mass create them at the beginning using a code, copy/paste, and store them in an ark IMO. Doing these by hand each time would be a pain. Plus with the prefix variable, it could be used for other things so there is really no penalty to having them already made-MHSstaff 20:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

No need to ark them, since they shouldn't be speedy deleted. They all have a purpose after all, and unlike images, which get deleted if they go unused, articles do not automatically get deleted. Anyway, I like the general idea, but having to have multiple different templates (e.g. 17, 43, x) seems like a lot of work.

Honestly, all of our solutions will work out worse than what we currently have, in my opinion, since all of them will end up repeating some articles before they are supposed to be repeated (e.g. we may end the year on FA8 and will then start the new year over again, losing FA9+ for a cycle), and will involve having to edit multiple pages when adding new FA. What we have now works, and it's even easier now that we've gone through the whole FA list, since all you have to do is cut/paste the last blurb up to the top of the FA page and then move the old ones down a notch. Why don't we just focus on making that process easier, rather than trying to automate the whole shebang? —Aichon— 20:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

For me, it is going to be used to rotate MHS content every week or so. But if you want to keep on truckin' with a)creating a new FA schedule everytime a new FA is added, actually having users remember to stick by that schedule, and copy/pasting blurbs every two weeks, that's cool too. If the current system is working, we're probably best off not worring about it then.-MHSstaff 21:10, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

You shall be incredibly proud

Got Chrome. :D --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 08:09, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Sweet! It'll take some getting used to, but you should notice the speed it has going for it, as well as the fact that it just does some things most of the others don't (e.g. it actually displays my name correctly at the top of this page, whereas none of the others besides Safari does that).—Aichon— 15:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Yep. I've installed it on my new laptop, and I'm trying to slowly make myself use it on here instead of IE. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 15:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Your signature is awesome, btw.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Don't I know it! A shame that more people can't see it as it's meant to be seen. It's best if you have the Cochin font installed too. —Aichon— 17:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

What is happening with the signature? Is it going woop! woop! and flashing and stuff?--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 11:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Much more subtle than that. Get a real browser and you can see the difference. ;) —Aichon— 11:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

BASEPAGENAME

Hey, I thought you'd be a pretty good person to ask. I'm wondering why {{BASEPAGENAME}} doesn't really seem to work on some pages. For example, if the magic word is placed on Fight Factory/Nav, it returns Fight Factory/Nav instead of Fight Factory like I would expect. The help section mentions that {{BASEPAGENAME}} only works on namespaces that have subpages enabled. It leads me to believe that pages in the main space do not have subpages enabled. Do you think that's the case? My eventual goal is to create some subcategories of some inclusion only pages that I use for groups I'm involved in and I'd like the group name to be the subcategory name. Hope that makes since. See here for one of my attempts [3]. ~ 06:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't believe subpages are enabled in the main namespace, which basically means that, technically, X/Y is a page named "X/Y" (hence the BASEPAGENAME issues) rather than a page Y that is a subpage of X. You can tell because if you go to something like User:Aichon/Other, Other will have a link near the top that will take you back to User:Aichon, whereas similar behavior doesn't happen in the main namespace.

Anyway, since I'm beyond tired after researching companies for a career fair today, I'll just point you in a few directions. One is that you might look at [[Category:CAT_NAME|GROUP_NAME]] to do stuff. Not sure if it helps. The other is Template:Subcat, which you can see in use here. It may be useful. I'll let you poke through those and see what works, but it should still be doable, though you'll likely not be able to use the magic words. You might also ping DDR or Rooster, since they both have significantly more categorization wiki-fu than I do. I always left that stuff alone since it was messy and hard to see. —Aichon— 11:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Sig

What's your issue with it? I know that some people have trouble with the special characters. And Trips complained once about the green-on-black colour scheme. -- Spiderzed▋ 20:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I just think it looks tacky. Purely aesthetic reasons. The monospaced green on black is not something I'm a fan of, nor do I particularly like the box-like shapes around names in sigs, unless it's just an outline rather than filled in. You don't actually have to change it (maybe I should add that note to A/PM, since it wasn't entirely clear I was kidding), but for some reason I kinda always cringe whenever I see it. I really have no idea why I dislike it as much as I do. —Aichon— 20:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Being a fan of old home computers, I actually like the retro-look of monospaced green on black. I might slightly adjust the tone, but it wouldn't be the same if it was only done with an outline. The black box is also needed to replicate the FU logo with text. (And using solely text is important to me, as I dislike pictures in sigs, and as pictures in sigs have occassionally caused trouble as with Mis' and DDR's sig for a while.) For the other group links it's not so much needed, but I still used boxes for them to make them look more similar. As for the kidding, I figured as much. -- Spiderzed▋ 20:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

What exactly is the FU text? Is that unicode? Foreign language chartacters? I've always wondered. ~ 20:53, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

The FU text is done with Unicode block elements. You might remember some of them if you are old enough to have worked with text-based pseudo-graphical interfaces as Norton Commander. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:26, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I know you're going for the retro look. ;) Still though, I'm just not a fan, but I know that you can't please everyone, it'd definitely lose its retro feel if you went with an outline, and I'm being rather uncompromising here, which is not fair to you at all. I certainly appreciate that last fact, so I'm not actually advocating you change your sig. I'm just giving you a tough time while I can. As for images in sigs, DDR and Mis were both using old code (an experimental copy of a new version of Template:Click that I had made) that had been obsoleted because of the problems it had. Had they been using the newer code (the current Template:Click), there wouldn't have been any issues. —Aichon— 21:01, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Random beginnings

It's only fair that as I start to go inactive I take a long look back at my time here. I was glancing through the history for my talk page, and I noticed that I got quite varied introductions from some of the typical wiki personalities around here, which, in many ways, ended up being indicative of my later interactions with them. In order of appearance, here are 30 of them:

1. August 2009: Yonn WN'd me. His first real post on the page wasn't until January of 2010, however, when he hit me up for GSGM 2010 info.
2. October 2009: Giles clarified something I had misunderstood when working on the update to the barricade plan template (my first wiki project).
3. October 2009: Ross wanted to talk about large-AP repairs and then thanked me for being sensible during a (N)POV dispute on a suburb page involving one of my groups.
4. October 2009: Rory complimented me on my then-new page design (it wasn't nearly as good as it is now).
5. October 2009: SA chimed in with random comments regarding page theft. <3 SA.
6. November 2009: Lelouch wanted to find out how I had discovered his secret society on the wiki.
7. November 2009: Midianian asked if I wanted to adopt his userscripts.
8. November 2009: AHLG complimented Macs.
9. November 2009: DDR expressed his love for DOTA. And then he referred to my brother as a faggot indirectly. <3 DDR too.
10. November 2009: Read offered an insightful and helpful comment suggested SA and I start dating.
11. November 2009: J3D was the first user to have a comment deleted from my page.
12. November 2009: Maverick came by to compliment my user page by letting me know he was stealing some of it.
13. December 2009: Bob made a joke and offered a quick encouragement that I may be a decent person for sysop eventually.
14. December 2009: Iscariot dragged wiki politics about RHO's A/PM bid into the conversation.
15. January 2010: Mis apologized for making mistakes and offered me a copy of the internet as compensation for harm done. I told him I already had it.
16. January 2010: Chief Seagull offered information and suggestions for userscripts I had.
17. January 2010: Rooster chimed in with a veteran perspective on the GSGM 2010 affairs.
18. March 2010: Thad complimented my new (and currently still in-use) page design, saying that it reminded him of Assassin's Creed.
19. April 2010: Link congratulated me on my promotion to sysop.
20. April 2010: Poodle of doom asked a technical question for something relatively simple. Misanthropy sniped the answer. This happened a lot, come to think of it. Both the simple questions and the sniping.
21. May 2010: Cornholioo was uncharacteristically polite in asking a decent question. If only we knew then what we know now...
22. May 2010: Spiderzed offered some useful advice to a userscript user in need of some help.
23. June 2010: Axe gave me a cookie for fixing a sig problem he had.
24. July 2010: RHO interjected with a random comment and then disappeared.
25. July 2010: TripleU asked for a custom-coded userscript that would help him destroy all of the Christmas Trees in the game.
26. August 2010: Cheese informed me that I had acted improperly by permabanning Cornholioo when I did. Me banning people too early was a bit of a recurring theme around here...
27. September 2010: Vapor asked about an experimental template he wanted to use that I had been developing but not really publicizing.
28. September 2010: Sexualharrison asked for help after a wikicode mistake left the news on the front page in shambles.
29. October 2010: MHSstaff asked for some design help with the best newspaper in the game.
30. December 2010: Boxy finally made an appearance and informed me very politely that I had made a mistake in correcting something that I thought was a mistake.

So yeah, fun stuff. It's interesting to see who all has stopped by. There are definitely a few notable absences (e.g. I can't believe Revenant never said anything here), but it seems that my talk page has managed to attract a lot of attention while I've been around. —Aichon— 22:52, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

And may I say I am honoured to have WN'd you.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:03, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I have to say, I lawled when I saw it was you that had done it to me, since I couldn't remember. —Aichon— 23:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

It's especially surprising, considering how few people I actually WN'd. Epic stuff though. What's the bet the other people I WN'd become sysops?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:09, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Maybe you just know how to pick 'em? :D But yeah, when I saw it, it was one of those, "That's awesome. I can't believe he WN'd me." type of things. As I laughed, of course. —Aichon— 23:15, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I also WN'd Zensaga, but nobody else notable. I'll never know who WN'd me, because it was sometime in early to mid 2008 that I got an account, and I didn't save my template anywhere. I'd like to think it was Grim or Gnome or somebody, but it was probably just some +1er. :( --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

If Zensaga ever makes it as an Op (which is unlikely. He rarely uses the wiki), I claim the fact that he's only playing this game because I introduced him to it, and that includes the good ol' wiki. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Don't leave us, Aichon!!! We love you!!! D= --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:10, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey, attention whoring like what I'm doing here only keeps me around longer. >_> Err...did I say that out loud? —Aichon— 23:15, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

We'll give you an undeclinable promotion, then you'll have to stay! >:D--Thadeous Oakley Talk 23:26, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Looking at that list makes me sad. Man, I miss the good old days, when guys like Cyberbob, J3D, SA and even Iscariot were active. If only I wasn't such a dick back then, it would have been even better. God damn you Kevan :( --Thadeous Oakley Talk 23:31, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Aichon, if you do not stay, I will go on a hunger strike. How's would you like that to be on your conscience? ...Are you gonna eat that stapler? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

So...you mean I'd actually have a chance at being the most-linked user? Maybe that would bring me back. :P —Aichon— 00:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Lol! Dota Rox! -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 23:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, yours was another one I really laughed at. Such a wacky first series of posts here, all interjected in the middle of a massive conversation SA and I were having back then. —Aichon— 00:12, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Umm...

I was reading your talk page's archive(2010), and it appears that most of the templated sigs were copied incorrectly. It starts from here, all the way to the bottom (with a few exceptions). Sorry. (I am saying sorry because this makes me feel like some self-important noob for some reason. Sorry if I do come across as such.) -- †  talk ? f.u. 11:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Too many template inclusions. Its the wiki's creakyness, not aichon. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:11, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

That's a relief. Much better it than him. And now I know not to include too many templates, too! -- †  talk ? f.u. 13:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, if you view the source for the page (as in, use your browser to actually view the HTML source for the page, not use the wiki to edit the page) and then do a search for the word "bytes", you should eventually find some commented out lines of code that will specify the "pre-expand include size", the "post-expand include size", the "template argument size", and the "maximum". If those first three sum to exceed the last one, then templates start breaking and showing up as just links. The simple way around it is to just break the page up into smaller parts, which is what a lot of folks do, but for archival purposes, I'd rather have them all together. —Aichon— 15:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

On another note, where can I get the thingy that lets me view someone's profile on mouseover? I think sexualharrison uses something like that. Thanks (I use chrome). -- †  talk ? f.u. 14:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

That's a userscript that I never really used since it doesn't work in Safari. Can't remember the name of it or where to find it, I'm afraid. —Aichon— 15:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Let me be of help: It's Profile Viewer. An older version is floating around somewhere on the wiki - the linked version has been altered by me to use the current RG link, rather than the old one. -- Spiderzed▋ 15:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

it works fine in firefox, which i happen only to use when i play UD. i prefer safari and chrome. better integration with my mail and cal apps and what not.--

Help with a Template

Hey Aichon, I made this template: User:Thoroaeborus/Sandbox3, and want to use it here: User:Thoroaeborus/Sandbox4. The problem is that when I add more of this template the next boxes appear below the previous one and I'd like a way to make them appear at the right side (like a map). I've tried using the span tag since this one is used at the Template:CodeInline to produce "in line" results but it didn't change anything. If you know any way to make the boxes appear one after the other, be it editing the template directly or the page where I use it, then it'll be very helpfull. Thanks ~THOROAEBORUS 01:43, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Should be fixed for you now. The long and short of it is that CodeInline works on text because text is inherently an inline element. Tables, on the other hand, which is what you were using, are considered to be block level elements. Block level elements naturally go one under the other, unless you position them using special CSS stuff. So, I added a "float:left" to the table you were using, which tells each Sandbox3 that they should try and move as far to the left as they can, and shouldn't bump other block to the next line. After that, it was a simple matter of removing the extra line breaks you had on Sandbox4 in order to get them to show up next to each other. Hope that works for you! —Aichon— 02:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

It's perfect now, thank you very much! ~THOROAEBORUS 16:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Your sig

Finally using Chrome, so I'm seeing your sig as I'm meant to. Not worth the installation time. 16:54, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

I doubt you have the Cochin font installed. ;) Oh, and check my name at the top of my userspace pages to see how it looks spiffy. The sig doesn't show it off much. —Aichon— 17:03, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

you sir are a wiki dragon!--

bitch 17:12 14 March 2011 (UTC)

The slight fade effect is nice but I feel like something must be missing. 17:14, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Cochin. Great font. Times, which is probably what you're seeing, isn't really a substitute for it. Otherwise, nope. I like to keep things low-key and not too flashy. —Aichon— 17:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Me? Nah. I don't really swoop through and do swaths of work any more. Rooster or RHO would be the wiki dragons around here, I should think. —Aichon— 17:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Rooster and Dragon are less active than you and became "less active" with much less style. You're therefore still residing dragon. ~ _{17:47, 14 March 2011}

But that's the Template:Wikipedia, which is why I say they're both better dragons than I am. Personally, I'd say that I was more of a Template:Wikipedia back when I was more active (with a bit of Template:Wikipedia), and am more of a Template:Wikipedia now at this point, though I'm a bit light on the socializing. —Aichon— 18:26, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Christ just learn to take a fucking compliment :P --

bitch 18:47 14 March 2011 (UTC)

But then I wouldn't get so much attention. ;) —Aichon— 19:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

So in other words, you're a WikiPlatypus. ~ _{18:58, 14 March 2011}

I figure I'm the otter. Prove me wrong. 19:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Not gonna hear any disagreement from me. I'd lump both you and Rev in there. —Aichon— 19:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Nah. Mis, you're definitely the WikiZombie kidding, kidding ~ _{19:23, 14 March 2011}

Cite your source. 19:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

*whistles*. ~ _{20:00, 14 March 2011}

Not a Platypus. The WikiPlatypus doesn't know why it does what it does, whereas the Gryphon changes as the need arises. —Aichon— 19:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

how do I get rid of the white crap around my header box?--

bitch 19:03 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Fixed. You had left in a 10px padding on either side of it. 19:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
