[edit] Question

How do I do a tag that displays the status of a user? For example, "Status of User: Online".

Hi! I do mine like this, which you can convert:

<!-- Credit to [[User:Misza13]] --> <div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:10px; top:40px;" class="metadata" >This user is: {{#switch:{{{1}}} | on=<span style="color: green;">online [[Image:ButtonGreen.png|40px]]</span> | off=<span style="color: yellow;">offline [[Image:ButtonRed.png|40px]]</span> }}</div>

put that in a user subpage(c/p to User:Btg2290/online) and to display it type one of the following:

{{User:Btg2290/online|on}} {{User:Btg2290/online|off}}

Thanks for the smile :) -- lucasbfr ^talk 16:59, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Helpme tag

It might be better to ask at the help desk. The people monitering the IRC channel have no idea how it works. Just make sure you take the tag off your page if you do ask at the help desk. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 23:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Fountain

I've recently revamped the article for The Fountain. Since you were one of the last people to leave a comment about it on its talk page, I thought I'd give you a heads up on the renovation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Erik (^talk/_contrib) @ 21:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks much, I have yet to see the movie, so I may not be able to add (much) to the discussion, but again, thanks for the heads up... btg2290 03:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't Use The Word Obvious

"Therefore a² is even because it is equal to 2 b² which is obviously even."

How is it obvious? I didn't know it was even. If you say something is obvious and the reader didn't know it, it makes them feel stupid.

It's obvious because it's 2 times another integer. That's what "even" means. Michael Hardy 23:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your user page

I'd be glad to help you out. What sort of theme/colors/style do you like? ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 03:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I like the way yours looks :P but in terms of theme/colors/style i am not even close to sure, cause i dont know what kind of stuff you can do :P --^{(b·talk·contribs)} 03:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I put together a draft of your user page at User:Amalas/sandbox. I didn't know what color you liked, so I went with a green theme. The colors are pretty easy to tweak if you want something else. Let me know what you think and if you have any more suggestions. Let me know when you copy the code over to your page so I can delete that sandbox page. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 18:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
