Interrobang

There is a userbox that says, "This user is a punctuation stickler.", so I suggest a counterpart that states that the user uses the interrobang instead of "!?". --Gray Porpoise 00:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Reads Science Fiction NOT Sci-Fi

I'd like to see a userbox for "This person enjoys reading Science Fiction" without a UFO "alien" graphic or the much-despised term "Sci-Fi" on it: a simple rocketship or planet graphic, perhaps. Can somebody more skilled in programming help me here? belated signature of Orange Mike 03:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

and here it is:

This user reads Science Fiction.

Windows Vista

(Ra-Ra-Rasputin 07:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC))

My two ideas that I think are kickass but you probably won't care for

1) Says: This user is a psychobilly psycho. Picture: Something related to B-grade horror movies. Maybe Tor Johnson's face from Plan 9 From Outer Space?

2) Says: This user loves chinese food. Picture: Carryout box of rice. --Lurcho 09:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I couldn't find a picture with the carryout box and I made the assumption you were refering to American Chinese food. Ra-Ra-Rasputin 02:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use image use

I've removed a rather large number of fair use image violations from this page. Please, all of you read Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. The use of fair use (i.e., copyrighted) tagged images on non-main article namespace pages is strictly proscribed. Logos, screenshots, album covers...all of these things are almost always used here on Wikipedia under terms of fair use and they may not be used as people have attempted to use them here. If any of you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 20:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Habbo Hotel Userbox

I am horrible at creating userboxes, so I was thinking we could create a userbox for Habbo Hotel. It is very popular now and it would just say something simple like "This user is a Habbo." and it could go in the Userboxes/Games category. I think it would be a great idea. I would use it. --S-man 05:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

- Something like this except the left part would probably be white. So, here you go. --S-man 05:37, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking obviously {{user Habbo}}. We could also probably do one where the user could put in his/her Habbo's name. Like {{User Habbo|habbo name}} or something. I don't know. --S-man 07:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

How about this? James Brown 21:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that would -- actually, yeah, I like that. Though I really think we should add in the name so it would be like "This user's Habbo is (user's Habbo's name)." So I guess we could do it your way, but we add in the name thing. --S-man 08:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Uh oh, looks like the picture's gone missing :S James Brown 14:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I think this is a cleaner private pilot box.

this should be "this user" to follow format, and it is unnecessarily bolded. --teh tennisman 16:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Two and a Half Men?

I'm not good with creating userboxes. Can someone do a Two and a Half Men userbox with

This user is addicted to MySpace

Yes, I did make it myself after many, many attempts. This is my first userbox.

Kousekouse 20:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

this should have Myspace as a link to the WP page-I did that for you, but it could be a better color. --teh tennisman 16:20, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

That text color might look better. --teh tennisman 16:33, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

How's this? :-) - Aerobird 18:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Chinese Zodiac and Others

These are just a few ideas:

at User:Yuanchosaan/Userbox/User Roosterzodiac and

at User:Yuanchosaan/Userbox/User Dogzodiac

I noticed that there are no Chinese zodiac userboxes so I made these. Are these good? Only problem is where to put them... Also these ones:

at User:Yuanchosaan/Userbox/User Baduserbox

at User:Yuanchosaan/Userbox/User Makesbox

Please comment on these and sorry if I do need the third userbox! Yuanchosaan 09:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe that are already Chinese zodiac boxes. I have a Horse one on my page.

I could make them, but they wouldn't have any pictures since all of those characters are copyright protected. If you can come up with an alternative copyright free symbol then I'll make them. --The Dark Side 01:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

-For that matter, would anyone mind making userbox's for each belt color, esp black --a note, many schools use different systems, but the common colors are white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, red, brown, and then black and many schools do mix belts like red/black instead of brown.

Such a Problem with Images

I have a userbox template and made one successfully using an image of Colette (French Authoress) and I cannot get images to show in the ID sectiion of the userbox. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I pretty much copied the Colette box and inserted another image and all I get is a link in the box and NOT the actual picture. HELP! OneWomanArmy

I may be wrong, but the problem could possibly be that you're forgetting to put brackets before and after the image URL. -- The M.P. 23:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts

I don't think it will turn out, but it's worth a shot. Does this violate the copyright agreements? Nichlok 21:36, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Nichlok

Hey I like it.Phoenix741 00:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's fantastic. Can you put it in the computer and video game section? Yuanchosaan 06:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure how. Apparently it has something to do with making template pages, but I'm not clear on that. I'll be glad to if someone could enlighten me on the correct process. Nichlok 20:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nichlok

I think you just put all the userbox information but with tl| in front of it(but still in the parenttheses). Like this I think.(Click edit to view what I did. Sorry but I don't know any other way to do this).

{{Userbox}}

Which should show up without the tl| as:

Is that good? I think you have to change the name of the userbox on the original template yourself though. Think you can do it? And can you please make one for "This user is a Heartless" when you are finished? Thanks for making that one. It is really good. Yuanchosaan 10:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Does this work?

I'll work on a Heartless one. Nichlok 21:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Nichlok

Great, but where's the template located? Thanks for making it.Yuanchosaan 01:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry that it took so long to reply. I just made the template. It's Template:Kingdom Hearts. Enjoy! ChromeWulf ZX 19:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I did it wrong the first time >_<. Anyway I moved the box per the Userbox migration policy. So:

is now at User:Nichlok/Userbox/User Nobody

Place double braces ({) around the name to insert the box and double brackets ([) to insert the link. Enjoy! Yuanchosaan 23:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Could someone please make me a couple of user boxes?

If anyone could make boxes that are "This user likes kiwis" and "This user is afraid of mushrooms" that would be greatly appreciated. Teak the Kiwi 01:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
