Sub page

Hey Sherry, you can make a sub-page of your user page by making a page at http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:Sherry_Stringfield/Randallbank or something like that. That way, it doesn't take up your personal user page. --Dazaras 00:22, 1 September 2009 (BST)

Thanks Daz, I'll do that - just as soon as I can think of something useful to put on my personal page ... --Sherry Stringfield 11:15, 1 September 2009 (BST)

You could start with the MCM template --Posydon ^{(talk)(MCM)(UBCS)} 09:01, 5 September 2009 (BST)

Status Reporting

I can see from here that you report the status of buildings in Eastonwood on your map. It would be really helpful if you could also update their statuses on their respective Danger Reports. Thanks. --Rahrah^{Come join the #party!}20:34, 22 October 2009 (BST)

Thanks, Rahrah, I'll do that. --Sherry _{talk MCM} 02:52, 24 October 2009 (BST)

Sig

You just forgot the closing tags, </sub> at the end of your sig. I've fixed it for you. :) --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:41, 24 October 2009 (BST)

This just to say that A Helpful Little Gnome fixed my sig problem before I'd even finished editing my message asking for his help. Amazing gnome! Thank you! Of course now I'm slave to a gnome for life, but it's a small price to pay for a working sig ... --Sherry _{talk MCM} 02:52, 24 October 2009 (BST)

No problem. As my newest slave, you can fetch me a bag of Cheesy Poofs. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:55, 24 October 2009 (BST)

Sorry about that. Honestly though, he's not a member of our forum, or our group. Our group tags read Umbrella Corporation. Full spelling and everything. We don't use abbreviations for our group tag or anything like that. The only other thing I'd be able to say is to report the PK's to Rogues Gallery. If there's anything else you have a question about, ask away and I'll do my best to answer them. Hope that helps and see you around. --DBHT 15:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I know we've had a few people running around with our group tag PKing people "In Our Name". There really isn't too much we can do about it other than report to Rogues Gallery and try to deal with it that way. --DBHT 02:22, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Iwitness

You can still find, and access, the iwitness records. However you have to change the URL to reflect the 'temporary' location of the 'temporary' folder. For example:

• [1] - No longer exists at its current location, but if you alter the URL to
• [2] - it can be accessed currently.

I keep saying temporary in inverted commas because Karek said that it was a temporary folder a month ago, and as you're aware nothing has been done. Remember it took him nearly two months to reveal that iwit wasn't broken and was just hiding the records elsewhere.

A solution I'd recommend is to use the URL alteration I demonstrate above to view each individual record and then take a screenshot of each using screengrab. Then this image can be uploaded to the wiki and, provided it is linked in the correct way, will remain in easily accessable existence until the wiki itself burns out and dies. If you would like I'd be happy to advise you on the correct way to organise such a project. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately just changing the URLs as you have might not be enough. Karek gave no notice for two months when they moved to their current location. I doubt there'll be any when they get moved back, rendering your new addresses as dead as the old ones. I think you'd be better taking hard copy images and hosting them on the wiki. The wiki is controlled and run by Kevan, it's almost certain it will be around as long as the game. There is no such certainty with the various witness systems. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 17:52, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I used the temporary fix just as a way of getting the archive up and running again, but I entirely take your point about getting hard copy images. I know how to upload images to the wiki, but is there a particular way of doing the screengrab, or any other part of the procedure, that I should know about? Very grateful for your help with this. --Sherry _{talk MCM} 18:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

If you wish I'll set the whole thing up for you based on a similar scheme to the current misconduct archives. I'd organise in your group space, organised by lecturer and then have an individual page with each lecture on it. It'd also let me create a new category for the system that would mean it would be easy to check everything rather than going through each link individually.

I use 'Screengrab!', a Firefox add-on to make my screenshots with as it captures the entire page, even if you'd normally have to scroll down to get all the information on your screen. If you were doing this yourself, you could use this, any similar screen capture program/extension or simply by using the Print Screen option afforded to all users of a keyboard. It's up to you which way you want to do it. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:25, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

That's an incredibly kind offer, but for now I'm working something out with Scoth, who has adapted Dumbwit so that it can copy Iwit perfectly. If he ever gives up on UD completely, I'll upload screengrabs to the wiki then. Thanks so much, Iscariot.
