Talk! Newbie question Hi Dr Eddie. You posted the welcome message to my talk page about a week ago, so I figure you're somewhat beginner friendly :-) I have a game specific question, for which I'm looking for peoples rationalisation i.e. it's not a how does this work, but rather why does it work this way question. I figure that's a better way to start than throwing something in the developing suggestions page. Where is the best place to do something like that? --Roorgh 07:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC) I saw this on RC, so I'll take the liberty of answering ;P. You could try the main page talk for those types of questions - that page is the closest we have to a "general discussion area." There isn't a page dedicated to answering stuff like that. Of course, there's Developing Suggestions and the FAQ. Just post back here (as I'm sure Dr Eddie will have a response for when I'm not being a stalker,) or at my talk page. Good luck! Linkthewindow  Talk  09:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC) The Corporation / redirect thanks for the speedy response eddie, and the heads up i'll get started on that group page soon. thanks again Jack S13 T! PC 00:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Congratulations! Hey Eddie, I saw that you're now the president of the UC, so I just wanted to congratulate you with your new job --William Lanfried 15:43, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks Will. Where did you see that?? --D.E.ATalk 15:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC) On your forum? --William Lanfried 16:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Okay doke! --D.E.ATalk 16:30, 12 March 2009 (UTC) A little late, but congrats, Eddie. --Haliman - Talk 01:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Ruddlebank Why was the group page edited with the UC and UBCS removed? I actually found an old UBCS member whos name was Bug something, anyway has the UCC been shut down? Are we no longer to advertise for the real UBCS?--President Jackson 07:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC) I think that's Bug Maclock you're talking about. Anyway in regards to the UBCS and UCC.. after Thad informed me that we only had like 4 members in our UBCS, I decided in the best of interests to remove it and the UCC from the group listings. Umbrella is our main group/division, and UBCS is our sub-group/division. But because its lacking in numbers, as everyone prefers to join our Umbrella instead and I'm not sure if its even active anymore, it was best to have it removed from the listings. Also our UCC isn't really a group, its a place for the public.. OUR place for the public. Therefore there's no reason for it being on the listings either. If you want our UBCS back up then you go ahead and add it. I just felt, because we had links to it on our Miltary Services page, that there was no need for it being added to the listings at all. --D.E.ATalk 11:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks A FREE COOKIE Linkthewindow has given Dr Eddie Ashford a cookie for for helping with the great suburb group massacre Thanks - good luck with all those {{wn?}}'s Linkthewindow  Talk  05:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Ooo.. a cookie! Yum! Thanks Link. :) --D.E.ATalk 18:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Sigma Wiki Page can you update the Sigma roster on the wiki for me? I would do it myself but im a bit occupied at the moment. if you cant get to it no problem i will do it some other day. Use this for reference: Sigma Platoon Roster Also i could use some help with making a siggy for the wiki cause each time i try it gets all messed up, i will show you what i got so far latter. Thanks in advance. Fanglord2 00:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Ok nevermind about the siggy thing i almost have it done then i will use it. Anyway can i use the main layout for your user page but edit it for my own? I would really apreciate it, hope to hear back from ya. Fanglord2 17:17, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Ok i got my siggy check it out User:Fanglord2/sig but how do i make it apear as my actual sig instead of this one --->Fanglord2 00:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Apologies Didn't mean any harm, normally I wouldn't do it. I just thought I wouldn't bother you by something insignificant as just fixing the link. Will keep that in mind. Have a nice day :) DarthRevan 15:42, 24 February 2009 (UTC) Help I know how you can use different colors for backgrounds but how, if at all, can you set imagines as a background instead of a color?--Senior EliteThadeous Oakley 10:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC) Example. Is this what you mean? --D.E.ATalk 11:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC) No, I don't think so. What I am typing now appears on a white background. I want an image to serve as my background. Its probably very hard to do, and I wouldnt be surprised if the wiki can't do it.--Thadeous Oakley 12:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC) No, it CAN be done Thad. That link I provided above shows you. But I don't know how to do it though. O_o --D.E.ATalk 12:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC) Project It really aint much. See my user page, recent changes and a dangerreport page I already did. Like Dakerstown. If you want to help you can start on the down side of the suburb map ;).--Thadeous Oakley 14:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Thanks anyway Thad, but I'll leave it in your capable hands. I'm currently undertaking some work of my own atm. You're sorting suburb danger levels, I'm sorting suburb location wiki pages (buildings, etc). Also the link you leave on the danger level pages is wrong - it should link to Project Wiki Patrol, not Project Welcome. --D.E.ATalk 15:33, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Well, the people that can't revert pages back are likely newbies and more suitable for Project Welcome. That was my thought on it.--Thadeous Oakley 18:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC) Thanks Thank you for your help Eddie, I appreciate it.--Thadeous Oakley 23:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC) No problem Thad. Glad I could help! --D.E.ATalk 10:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Hacker Head I just thought it'd be polite to reply and say thanks for the welcome. I really appreciate it! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hacker Head (talk • contribs) at 16:13, 21 January 2009.. Fanglord2 Not bad, not bad at all your wiki pages are very nice. I understand now why you are called the Umbrella Wiki expert. I just thought id come over say hello. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fanglord2 (talk • contribs) at 18:57, 19 January 2009.. Dark Blue Helmet Did I do this right so far? User:Dark Blue Helmet/sig Thank you Dr. Eddie. --Dark Blue Helmet 15:27, 31 December 2008 (UTC) As you can tell, I was playing around with it a little yesterday. How do I tab in the beginning of this line? --Dark Blue Helmet 15:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC) right? --Dark Blue Helmet 15:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Figured I'd ask this here, how do you get the background to appear black and how do you view the different fonts? I'm working on updating my wiki finally. Also, how do I create a user talk page? I thought I had one when I made my page to begin with. --Dark Blue Helmet 02:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC) This is part of the coding from my page (I edited it for your page) - {| style="width:100%; font-family: sans-serif; background-color:Black; color:white"| . Just change sans-serif to whatever you like (the wiki is pre-set to using verdana I think, so if you want that as your font, just remove the font-family part of the coding). The color is what your font color will be. Stick this code in at the very top of your user page (I preview tested it so it'll work). Section titles work differenty so to give them color, use this <font color="color name">"title name"</font>. Any problems, let me know, either on my talk page or the forum. :) --D.E.ATalk 15:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC) Hmmm, I can't seem to get it to work.--Dark Blue Helmet 02:23, 20 February 2009 (UTC) Beau made the same mistake last night. You need to copy the code exactly as it is, from {| <-to this-> |. Make sure to put the "|" on a new line underneath ok. --D.E.ATalk 10:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC) I can't tell if it worked on my stupid work computer. I do see a small black bar across the top of the page though. I'll have to check it out when I get home again. --Dark Blue Helmet 13:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC) The reason you saw a black bar at the top is because you put in ->{|<- instead of just this ->|<-. Never mind though, I've fixed it for you.... you're welcome btw! :P --D.E.ATalk 15:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC) Can you look over Whiskey's wiki page and let me know what you think? Thanks. --Dark Blue Helmet 19:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Victor Platoon? You took William's job. 0.o He wont be too happy! Anyways... *Breaks out the champagne* Congrats, Eddie. Long overdue. May you only experience good fortunes, and may the meth be with you. I hope that even through this whole endeavor, we can remain friends. 5th of November/2008 Since Umbrella hates me, care to show them that? It will probably be my last event before I dissolve into the games history, so I MUST get everyone on the same page and reclaim Ridleybank. Not for me. Not for you. Not for Umbrella. For humanity! By the way, you never changed the leadership in the group box. --/\Haliman/\ T | P! | W! 01:55, 9 September 2008 (BST) William actually stepped down as Victor Commander. A poll was run to determine the new replacement; either Myself, Cody or "other" and at the end the results were 6-6-1, so William made the final decision and chose me as his successor and Cody as the new XO. The 5th of November... there's been talk about participating this year and where. This will be first btw. I'll post it into the forum so everyone can view it. Group box.... damn, I knew I forgot something.. meh! Best go change that then *leaves conversation* --D.E.ATalk 10:17, 9 September 2008 (BST) Stepped down... Hmmm.... Didn't I tell you right at the start of our last convo you were a true warrior?! "This will be first btw." First for what? Your first 5ON? Well, nonetheless, it is a great occasion. I hope to see you there, and hope there aren't orders to... uhh.... kill me. CB. --/\Haliman/\ T | P! | W! 12:40, 9 September 2008 (BST) Also, your forgot to change the executive officer in the memberlist. I would do all this, but then people get pissed. 0.o. --/\Haliman/\ T | P! | W! 13:01, 9 September 2008 (BST) Yeah, he said he wanted to try something different. This will be very first 5ON participation, so I'm definetely looking forward to it. If there's any orders to "kill you"... you know who will have ordered the hit. And I haven't changed the executive officer in the memberlist because Cody has informed me, he wants to remain as XO until Vincent returns so I'm not making a lot of changes until I know who my second in command is gonna be. --D.E.ATalk 15:49, 9 September 2008 (BST) Well, Vincent emailed me from an internet cafe saying his internet is down, and he does not know how long until it was back up and to tell you guys that when/if you miss him. If there's any orders to "kill you"... you know who will have ordered the hit. Thadeous, yes? Why would he want his guys to waste ap killing me when he could have them killing, cading, and healing?? Bad use of resources, eh? Well, your first 5ON, I will do everything in my power to make it the best one to date. Wish me luck! Cb. --/\Haliman/\ T | P! | W! 20:46, 9 September 2008 (BST) Fanglord2 and the navigation bar Main • Umbrella Civilian Center is this what you wanted? less links or more links?--Fanglord2 18:45, 29 August 2008 (BST) well i fixed it checked out all the links heres an example ofm the mistake were making when you put #Victor_Platoon you dont need the # and the _ it should have looked like this: this would be the exact name of the page->Victor Platoon|{{c|red|Victor Platoon<-is what you want it to apear as on the navbar here it is finished i think unless you want to add more to it. Victor Platoon | Omega Platoon | Whiskey Platoon | U.B.C.S Fanglord2 17:20, 30 August 2008 (BST) oh i understand i will try to see if i can fix it up a bit also could you give me a link to his user page thing and yes i did take the postion of second-in-comand.--Fanglord2 18:11, 30 August 2008 (BST) When you click one of the headings, it automatically takes you to that corresponding topic... correct me if i am wrong but dont they need to have their own topic/section for that? cause omega and whisky are in a section called platoons...Fanglord2 18:19, 30 August 2008 (BST) wait nvm i tried that on a different page and it dident work--Fanglord2 18:30, 30 August 2008 (BST) kk i finaly got it,it works but i think you need a section/topic for U.B.C.S. it wont work on this page because you do not have the topics but go ahead and try it on U.C. main page and it should work unless i overlocked somethingFanglord2 14:29, 31 August 2008 (BST) Victor Platoon | Omega Platoon | Whiskey Platoon | U.B.C.S Jackson Sweet it works!!! Thanks Eddie! Okay why is the time messed up? --President Jackson 18:48, 9 August 2008 (BST) The reason your timestamp is doing that is because of this --> (<span style="color: red">)... Once you remove that line of code, the problem should be fixed =). --D.E.ATalk 19:19, 9 August 2008 (BST) Hey Eddie! Super nice wiki page! Wish I could figure out how to make borders and stuff and make mine look pretty<_<--President Jackson 14:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC) Well if you need any help Jackson, just let me know. That's what I'm here for :) --D.E.ATalk 19:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC) Thadeous Oakley You got one hell of a wiki page. Very nice, must have cost quite some time. Maybe I should concentrate some more time on my wiki page then on Umbrella :).--MisterGame 23:52, 6 August 2008 (BST) Well thank you Thad. I always appreciate comments regarding my wiki page. I did take quite some time to put together.. actually my wiki page has gone through more changes than I care to remember haha! =)--D.E.ATalk 10:05, 7 August 2008 (BST) WN Stuff I see that you're getting into the WN stuff. And also see that you're doing it the slow, and old, way ({{welcomenewbie}} --~~~~). Why don't you try this? It's fast and efficient: {{subst:WN}}. And for the one with the question mark at the end, try: {{subst:Wn?}}. Quick, efficient, and easier for when you're on a WN spree. And you don't even have to type in those 4 tildes. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:43, 3 August 2008 (BST) Yeah! I was only doing it the old, slow way because I wasn't quite up to speed with the whole WN deal. But now that you have pointed out {{subst:WN}} and {{subst:Wn?}}...(thanks for that btw), I'll be using these instead =) --D.E.ATalk 11:03, 3 August 2008 (BST) Haliman Well, I thought I would return the favor and visit you here too! Whats going on Eddie? --Haliman111 T PSI CC 22:32, 26 July 2008 (BST) Heya Hal! Not much, been messing about with my wiki page lately, adding stuff and moving stuff about. Sounds fun doesn't it lol! How's your trial coming along?? D.E.ATalk 10:30, 28 July 2008 (BST) Well they decided that the trial idea wouldn't be used, and cut me out behind closed doors. OH NOES! I had been chatting to William about Umbrella and how you guys are, and you came up! He had absolutely nothing bad to say, and praised you many times! Very nice, Eddie! There has always been something I wanted to tell you.... your first avatar in Umbrella, you know, the old guy with the white hair? He scared the crap outta me! Haha. How are you IRL as well? Best wishes, and good health to you! Comment back. --/\Haliman/\ T | CC | UC 01:41, 29 July 2008 (BST) An opportunity to give your side of the story and they decide to scrap it... thats politics for ya. First avatar.. first avatar.. oh yeah, the mad scientist looking guy. That was a good avatar. Now my avatar is the scene in the first Resi Evil movie at the bridge where Umbrella starts letting people leave the city before they realise the virus reached the gate. Now let me ask you something... that thing in your signature on the forum, the one that looks like a red bar and says Umbrella Corporation at one end and the Umbrella logo at the other. Where did you get that from? I'm good IRL, got a nice tan going here.. a first by Scottish weather.. its so unpredictable these days, one minute sunshine, the next rain Haha. And how are you IRL... hope everything's going well. -- D.E.ATalk 10:27, 29 July 2008 (BST) Well, I kinda saw it coming =(. To be honest, I am surprised you haven't lashed out in anger towards me... Thanks. My IRL situation is not going well. I had a panic attack 2 weeks ago and went into shock. I have had chest pain ever since then. As for my sig and userbar, I had them custom made for me. You like it? I could give you the link to the site... but away from all of these prying eyes... I never knew you were Scottish! I am a Scotsman myself as well! I have never been to Scotland yet, but I plan on going soon. Now apparently it is usually cold. YAY!!!!! I love cold. Chicago is a little to diverse with weather. Comment back. --/\Haliman/\ T | CC | UC 06:38, 30 July 2008 (BST) Ouch! A panic attack.. that sucks. Do you know why? Yep! I iz Scottish Haha. And you'd be right, it is usually cold here... sometimes we'll get the odd day of sunshine but more times than nought... its chucking it down with rain =). Nah! no need.. cos I think I may have found it anyway. I did a google search for "custom userbars". Quick question btw... do you have a signature page? Just wondering since you seem to be using your full coding rather than using {{User:Haliman111/sig}}. Its much easier using that rather than typing in the full code each time. --D.E.ATalk 11:20, 30 July 2008 (BST) Too much stress I suppose. I iz a Scotty too! I will be out there, probably next summer. Google deceives people... Well, if you can find a secure way for us to chat, I can give you my secrets on sigs and users, and avas. I am not literally typing my sig out, I am using the sig button on the wiki toolbar. Second last button. Comment back!--/\Haliman/\ T | CC | UC 17:59, 30 July 2008 (BST) Yeah! The signature with timestamp button. Alright, I was just wondering since it looked like you were typing out your signature code each time your made a post lol! =) --D.E.ATalk 19:06, 30 July 2008 (BST) I am not THAT crazy! Lol. That would really take forever. =(. --/\Haliman/\ T | CC | UC | P! | W! 19:12, 30 July 2008 (BST) Vincent Your page is Kick Ass. --VincenT | Third Echelon | Umbrella Corporation --14:49, 6 June 2008 (BST) Thanks Vince. --D.E.ATalk 15:53, 6 June 2008 (BST) Look at our Sigs...We both used Dashed Code. Do you want me to change mine? --VincenT | Third Echelon | Umbrella Corporation --18:49, 8 July 2008 (BST) Nah! Don't be silly, keep it. I'm still experimenting with my sig anyway. --D.E.ATalk 19:40, 8 July 2008 (BST) Cody Mac Your page is cool, simple, and straight to the point kind of thing that I like, if you know what I’m trying to say. And I noticed your Scottish template, that’s pretty cool although I have not ran in to any Native American templates as of yet. I think the templates are a cool sort of thing… they get out what’s on your mind with out actually spending an hour of thinking of how to say things. And computer code is not as hard as I think I think it is…?... thank god for those computer classes I went to and did not sleep through. I still got a lot of work to do on it and figure out how to do it is the hard part. If I need help with something else I hope I have the confidence that I can ask you. Talk to you later and see you around UD. --Cody Mac 17:28, 25 May 2008 (BST) Rogue Sergeant Hey, you're allowed to use what you wish from my page. After all it is a Wiki, and it's all open source :P ... Great re-design, I like it. Kudos mate. -- Rogue  Sergeant  04:27, 6 May 2008 (BST) Thanks mate :). I'm quite surprised how well its turned out myself. Yeah, I realise that being a wiki it is an open source, but its always nice to ask I guess! :P --D.E.ATalk 09:47 6 May 2008 (GMT) Gifts/Quiz Prizes A FREE COOKIE Axe Hack has given Dr Eddie Ashford a cookie for meeting Goofy on the open road.
