User talk:An unlucky guy

Need any help?

And now a more personal greeting, let me know if you need any help with editing. Its always a good idea to click the preview button before you save changes, stop s pages going all screwy. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:03, 11 July 2008 (BST)

1. Re:

as a matter of fact, i would like to know if i'm doing this right, this is my first page and not to mention am i even replying to your question right?

you're doing really well. You've even got a category on it. The only thing i'd add at this point is sign anything you write using ~~~~ at the end. It automatically dates and links to who you are. THeres a button at the top of the page when you edit something (between the crossed out W and the line. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:24, 11 July 2008 (BST)

okay, thanks :D also could you tell me how to get a link to my user page? so it just says "an unlucky guy" without it saying User:An unlucky guy?

You can either click the sig button when you edit a page, or type: ~~~~ (missing the nowiki tags if you're looking at this in edit mode). -- Cheese 19:29, 11 July 2008 (BST)

Whoops. Misread. Go to "My Preferences" up in the far top right. In the bit it says Nickname type: [[User:An unlucky guy]]. Again, no <noiki> tags if you look at this in edit mode. -- Cheese 19:32, 11 July 2008 (BST)

There are many ways. You could manually type [[User:An unlucky guy|An unlucky Guy]] Or go through this link User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Help/c and work it out automatically. For further help follow this link, --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:36, 11 July 2008 (BST)

thanks a lot you guys :D--[[User:An unlucky guy]] 19:38, 11 July 2008 (BST)

Hurrah! Another new wiki user successfully signs a post. You've taken your first step into a huge and scary world!. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:40, 11 July 2008 (BST)

And he's got it much faster than some other guys. :P I think you've got a couple of extra set's of square brackets but it's not bad. I'm seeing it on the edit screen as [[User:An unlucky guy|[[User:An unlucky guy]]]] but if you change it to [[User:An unlucky guy|An unlucky Guy]] that'll go away. :) Good attempt though. -- Cheese 19:44, 11 July 2008 (BST)

hmmmm :( lol i still want to get rid of it saying user tho, but i'll get around to that after im done with the group page --[[User:An unlucky guy]] 19:42, 11 July 2008 (BST)

any further help you need, just post on my talk page. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:43, 11 July 2008 (BST)

thanks a million :D --[[User:An unlucky guy|An unlucky Guy]] 19:48, 11 July 2008 (BST)

By the way, have you ticked the box that says raw signatures on the preferences screen? That might help as well. -- Cheese 19:57, 11 July 2008 (BST)

Either that or delete the entire thingy of text in nickname and replace it with [[User:An unlucky guy|An unlucky Guy]]. -- Cheese 19:58, 11 July 2008 (BST)
