User talk:Bromar Stranglehold

Welcome to the wiki! Don't hesitate to ask any questions. — Seru Talk 03:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

What he said. Also, please don't shy away from two things: "Show preview" and "minor edit". Using both will certainly refine your GWW skills. The first, allows you to make mulitple edits without making it final and the second will clean up the "recent changes" list that many, many people like to lurk.- Vanguard 03:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

recent edit.

I can see you are using fox007's page as a template, which is cool, but please remember not to edit his actual pages and instead copy the content and coding into your own personal user page subdirectories. As you are kinda messing his page up for him. -- Salome 03:54, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

No worries, I'm pretty decent with coding and I would never try to mess with someone else's page, I just saw it while looking at some armor and thought it was awesome--Bromar Stranglehold 12:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry

Yeah, I noticed that whenever I tried to customize something I changed his page too, I always changed it back but I asked him what was going on and if he'd mind that I was using the template. thanks for that Salome :)--Bromar Stranglehold 12:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

If you wish some assistance in setting up your own templates all you have to do is ask :D -- Wyn 12:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You have to copy the code to your own page... User:Bromar Stranglehold/Announcement box and then make the changes there. -- Wyn 12:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yup, what wyn said. I just went ahead and changed a little bit of the coding on it as it was still leading to the edit Fox page and not edit your own page. Also if you could sign your comments after you make them with 4 tidles as so ~~~~ , as it just makes it easier for us to follow the thread of a discussion. -- Salome 12:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

LOL You picked a doozey of a page to copy :P-- Wyn 12:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Dont worry about it matey, we we're all new at some point. If you need help getting yourself sorted, just ask and myself and others would be glad to help you. Also just a wee heads up, but in chats like this you just add your next comments under the last comment in the topic at hand. For example if wynb says something after me, and you want to reply to me, then you should still put your comment after wyns but use Colons to show who you are chatting to, As colons are whats used at the start of a paragraph to indent the paragraph e.g. my post at the moment is indented 5 times using the following ":::::" , if you were to reply to me you should add an extra colon to that start of your own paragraph, like so  :::::: and that will indent your paragraph 6 places and thus make it obvious you are replying to me. The only reason im telling you this, is that ive noticed that you seem to be completely rewriting your old posts which is something that you aren't really allowed to do unless your fixing typos and making the sentence run more fluidly. Don't worry about it though, we all made these mistakes at the start. :) -- Salome 12:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help you two, this is confusing the heck outta me XD although I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I might have messed up the announcement box though, it's redirecting to fox's page again....--Bromar Stranglehold 12:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a wee look at it. -- Salome 12:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :) Gonna take a break from this coding and see if I can't start on something smaller first, like my siggy--Bromar Stranglehold 12:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay that's fixed now. its the redirect at the top, you just have to remember to put your username in and not fox's. This is the redirect to edit your announcement box: [http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=User:Bromar_Stranglehold/Announcement_box&action=edit +] -- Salome 12:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank a lot man, btw, I read up on how to create a signature but I didn't find how to put a little pic in it, how'd you do it?--Bromar Stranglehold 12:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You need to upload a pic you like. The pic has to look good at 19x19 resolution and can't be a something which is copy written or trademarked to someone other than yourself. then upload the picture and name it something like Image:User_Bromar_Stranglehold_sig.jpg. Then in your signature settings you can put something like this in [[Image:User_Bromar_Stranglehold_sig.jpg|19px]] and it will display your wee picture everytime you sign. -- Salome 12:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

hmmm.... whenever I try to upload my picture I get a page that says the file is corrupt or something....--Bromar Stranglehold 13:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Odd. It only accepts certain file formats though. Are you sure you are uplaoding in one of the required formats? -- Salome 13:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing not, all I did was make a quick smiley on my paint program and tried uploading it, I'll look more closely at the restrictions this time--Bromar Stranglehold 13:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) ok... all the components are now in your name Bromar. If you go to your edit tab on your userpage, you will see the list of the different pages that make up the page. Anything that has your name on it you can feel free to edit to make it your own.-- Wyn 13:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks a lot wyn! testing my signature....--[[User:Bromar Stranglehold|Bromar Stranglehold]][[Image:User Bromar Stranglehold_60px-Dervish-tango-icon-200.png|19px]] 13:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Try this [[User:Bromar Stranglehold|Bromar Stranglehold]] [[Image:User Bromar Stranglehold_60px-Dervish-tango-icon-200.png|19px]] as your sig line. -- Wyn 13:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I would rename the image however.....-- Wyn 13:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

didn't work :( oh well, I'm gonna take a break and go play mercenaries or something, I'll be on later--[[User:Bromar Stranglehold|Bromar Stranglehold]][[Image:User Bromar Stranglehold_60px-Dervish-tango-icon-200.png|19px]] 13:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I renamed the image so, your sig line should be [[User:Bromar Stranglehold|Bromar Stranglehold]] [[Image:User Bromar Stranglehold sig icon.png|19px]] copy that and paste it into your preferences. -- Wyn 13:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot you guys for helping me with all of this, probably never would have gotten this far without you two--Bromar Stranglehold 14:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and I'm almost done my homepage, just need to edit some of the pictures, tell me what you think:).--Bromar Stranglehold 14:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I like it! Although your fun stuff box seems to have moved somewhere a bit funny on my screen. -- Salome 14:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

yeah, it seems to have moved to the bottom of the screen for some reason, I don't mind it though, probably fix it later. And I finally fixed the siggy :D just needed to check the raw signature box--Bromar Stranglehold 14:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. :D -- Wyn 14:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Next I'm gonna try to get a screenshot of all my characters and put em on my character page. Thanks again for all the help you guys, if you ever want to meet on GW sometime, just let me know--Bromar Stranglehold 14:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Removing comments from your talk page

You can feel free to archive comments off your talk page, but not just remove them, as per user page policy. Thanks! -- Wyn 11:40, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
