[edit] Colors

Can someone change the background in this userbox so that the text is more easily read? Thanks. AscendedAnathema 06:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking maybe if we bold the white text it'll be easier to read. Anyone else? --BarkerJr 03:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Busted -> Bust

I changed the infobox from BUSTED to BUST for a simple reason: I don't think it looks as good with it being so long.

If you want to get all in-depth, the argument can be made that "BUST" fits the concept of the show better than "BUSTED" does, as the latter is only a sometimes arrived-at conclusion of the myths, whereas "BUST" is a more accurate description of what they strive to do (sometimes arriving at Plausible or Confirmed conclusions instead).

But "BUST" gives rise to some inevitable puns...XD Oh well, doesn't matter. _dk 00:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I could upload an image of the text "BUSTED" that's diagonally oriented, but I don't know where/how I should upload it. Ryulong 23:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded it, but I don't know how long it will last. Ryulong 23:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks good to me. EVula 21:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pic

^{Can't use it, as that is a (potentially) fair-use image. You should tag it properly before it gets deleted. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)}

[edit] Link?

I think that it should link to the page on Adam Savage, rather than the Mythbusters page. Alx xlA 03:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, while Adam does say it, it is very much a Mythbusters-related quote... considering the fact that "Busted" also relates to the show (and the name of the userbox is "mythbusters"), I think the link is fine as-is. EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gender adaptable?

How about a modification to allow "his" or "her" if specified? (Should be fairly easy. I'll be glad to do it when I have the time, if all are amenable.) --Joe Sewell 21:17, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, you could fairly easily modify it so that if the gender is set, it displays that, but if there's no setting, it just defaults to what is currently displayed. That would let people who don't change it to not see a notice (it'd be a little odd if a female with the userbox all of a sudden had it refer to "him"). EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I was just about to make an attempt and doing this myself, but I realized that I don't know how to do an "if/elseif/then" statement, just "if/then". Hrm. :\ EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] category

i recently created "Category:Wikipedians who like MythBusters" becuse MB is so popular, and i was wondering if i could use your userbox on there. if so, can the code for the category be added to this userbox? thanks! EvilHom3r 13:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
