My skill unlock template...

is being weird. I spent hours working on it, and while the appearance is fine, something is wrong with any skill that has an apoostraphe on it (Nature's Renewal, Zojun's Shot, Tiger's Fury, etc.). I don't know what's wrong with the code, but I know that for the images, I had to add the %22 or %25 or something in front of them for some reason instead of the apostraphes or else the picture wouldn't show up. And now when I type for example Zojun's Shot = yes, it doesn't register to add a check mark to mean yes, it still sees it as being no. I don't know why, because it's typed in the exact same way in the code, unless there's something messed up with the apostrophes again. Could you please help me? I based it off your PvE/Elite skill template. hehehe Thanks, sorry about that. :( The link is here. Thanks! Tender Wolf

I'm assuming you did this in word because you've got ’ instead of ' and “” instead of "". –alistic 01:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Spellcheck FTW....... Drogo Boffin 01:54, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow, it's that picky with its coding? You have to be kidding me.../sigh Guess I better go fix that. Tender Wolf

Got it fixed! Thank goodness there aren't too many skills with the ' and the " and such. That took care of it, but I had no idea the code was like that. I did it in Word in case the Wiki went down and I lost all my work. Tender Wolf

Never, ever, ever code things in Word. Microsoft puts their bullshit encoding into anything you do on Word and it does dumb shit like that. Use Notepad (or any of the improved notepad knockoffs, like Crimson Editor or Notepad++). -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 03:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I code stuff in Word all the time Armond, you just have to know what you are doing. Find/Replace is the bomb. -- Wyn talk 05:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Way too much effort imo. Also, word doesn't give you line numbers or syntax highlighting. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 23:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

It has it's uses. I just dislike you telling someone on my talk page to Never, ever, ever code things in Word. You just have to know how to configure your Word options to not add the stuff you are talking about. -- Wyn talk 00:29, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, fine. Never, ever, ever code things in Word if you don't know what you're doing with it, which Tender has obviously proven already. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 01:37, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Textpad has find and replace, and it can comb multiple documents at once. elix Omni 01:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

One thing you guys should probably understand about me is that I teach classes in MS Office. I'm not going to clutter up my computer with multiple text editors when I can do everything I need to do with Word. -- Wyn talk 03:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Ironic, because I switched to OpenOffice because Word did nothing I wanted it to (properly, at least) and cost a lot more to boot. :/

I use two text editors: OpenOffice.writer for things like letters and essays where the ability to change your font and set formatting by paragraph are useful, and Crimson Editor for coding (because automatic indents, linked brackets, syntax highlighting, and line numbering are all excessively useful for debugging [which of course is around 80% of the work]). -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 03:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you found it difficult to set formatting by paragraph in Word, it's extraordinarily simple. For extensive coding, I can see using something else, but for wikicode, Word is fine. -- Wyn talk 03:29, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe I said I did. It just likes being a bitch about it. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 03:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

lol it or you? -- Wyn talk 04:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd agree with the 'it'. Coding in Word always was a pain in the ass. I would rather code poorly than code in Word (provided those were my only choices). ‹Lady Chani› 04:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Notepad --RIDDLE 05:07, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

You will notice, I agreed that for extensive coding, word would not be optimal, but for wikicode, word is fine. It's not like wikicode is even code unless you are poke and doing wild things with dpl.......... -- Wyn talk 08:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

GWG Auction "Custom Start/Stop Times"

I'm sure you're probably aware that you can't use the custom start/stop feature for auctions since the option "2010" doesn't appear in the year drop-down menu. Think I'll be fixed any time soon? I like running my listed auctions to start and stop all at once to keep track of things better. Thanks in advance for your reply. -- Natures Spirit 06:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, please keep Guru stuff on Guru. You will find a forum thread about this. Our programmer is and has been looking into it and as of yet has not been able to find the problem. -- Wyn talk 08:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh all right, sorry. In the past you told me to either PM you there or message you here. -- Natures Spirit 16:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if that came off bitchy, wasn't intended that way. Things have changed a bit since "the past", I'm not here as much as I used to be :D. -- Wyn talk 20:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey

You can delete the shadow form and BB pages of mine, if you like. -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 08:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

You can feel free to tag them for deletion by adding {{delete|U1|speedy}} or you can add | resolved = yes to the infobox to have it removed from the active lists of suggestions while still remaining available on your Feedback user page. What I was doing was simply correcting the erroneous tagging of pages by a non-owner of the page. -- Wyn talk 08:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Oops

I'm very sorry about that. I'm trying to leave a suggestion, but I'm confused as to where it needs to go... If there's an actual page i can go to for editing i don't know where it is. The help page says you need to start it in your own user page and that's what i was trying to do. help? :'( --Ravencroft0 11:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Wyn.--Ravencroft0 11:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again, Wyn. --Ravencroft0 12:38, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome. -- Wyn talk 13:16, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Stubborn code lol

Hey again! I've made a new template, but the info in it isn't very big, so I tried to shrink it down to 50% instead of 100%, but I think it would look much better if the two boxes were next to each other. The template is my hero template, and I thought maybe the ranger list could go next to the warrior one, the monk below the warrior with the necromancer next to it, and so on. Was wondering if you could perhaps help me out with that? Thanks a lot! :) *hides* I wish I wasn't such a code noob...rofl Oh, and while I'm at it, I want to use your PvE skill template (2nd one) but I'd like it to be expandable. I've tried to do it here, but no luck, so...yeah. hehe If you have some spare time, and it's not too much of a burden, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks! :) Tender Wolf

Given that there are a total of 26 heroes in the game, I wouldn't think you'd want to make it two columns or 50%, unless you are going to do 2 rows of 13. then what you have to do is create a table within the frame that is two columns wide....

I have to be totally honest with you and tell you that I am in the early stages of building a wiki for another MMO basically from scratch, so I don't have a lot of time to be doing extensive new templates here atm. -- Wyn talk 01:31, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I'll try that suggestion. :) No biggie. :D Tender Wolf

thank you

Thank you for fixing the cape pic on my guild page, we really appreciate it. Varn Carnage [RATM] --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.246.142.37 (talk).

Also thanks for dealing with the main page talk, I was considering doing it but decided against for the time being... -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 03:19, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

We don't need advertising spam on the main page talk. I can't see anyone objecting to it's removal. -- Wyn talk 11:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Wynn

I know it's been a while since i stopped in to ask you a Question. But I hope all is well with you. I am alright getting ready to move, so i'm trying to handle this matter before i leave. But i uploaded a Logo that the MS Society Gave us for Gaming Worlds Next Community Event. So I uploaded it up on there and It was marked for deletion. I, as well and Barbie, expressed why we have it up there with The permission of the Donation Group we are using for this Group. Toga_Party And with out any warning or a reason for us to discuss it it was deleted this morning. Now i know how wiki has this thing on copyrighted Images. But this Image is copyrighted by the company but it's Their Community Logo, meaning anyone can add it to Their event pages that are supporting the cause. I'm trying to Understand How we are not allowed to use it, since our event is in the Game of Guild Wars. We are trying to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. We have done with before For the Red Cross/Haiti. So if maybe a better explanation can be told to me, I would appreciate it. I have for now have put up a Alt Picture pretty much saying what the previous Picture said but it doesn't have "Copyrighted Content". But i would prefer to use the Logo that the MS Society provided for us. Any Help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks for your Time Wynn :)Kelli 01:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, because it is copyrighted by a third party, it is not available for use here. I'm sorry. Please see our GWW:COPYRIGHT policy for further information. If the owner of the copyright were to upload it here, thereby releasing it as a GFDL image, then it would be fine, but it is doubtful they would be willing to do so, not many organizations do. While they may have released it as Fair Use, Fair Use does not apply on GWW, and never has. This is something the ArenaNet legal team has been very adamant on, and I don't believe there is any reason they would change their position, nor do I feel it is right for us to make an exception (this would set a dangerous precedent). -- Wyn talk 04:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Gems Of Destiny

Hi Wyn,

I was browsing the Wiki when I saw your user page, that took me to the guild page. I have been playing GW for a couple of years but I have not joined a guild. I am interested in joining your guild if it is accepting new members. I have six characters, several are level 20. I am willing to help, particularly with the missions and quests that I have completed, but I am always willing to help regardless of my knowledge of the adventure. I am leaving you a message here because I read in your user page to do so in case one was interested in the guild. Thanks in advance. Renegmata 17:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Please disregard the request.I have joined another guild. Thanks anyway. Renegmata 14:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I hope you find a good fit. To be quite honest, I'm not playing Guild Wars much at the moment. The guild is still semi-active, with a few people who still play daily, but at this time, I'm not really looking for new members. Have fun playing! -- Wyn talk 15:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, Wyn. It's times like these where I question why you put aside your admin skills. :( G R E E N E R 09:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Your new wiki

What game? -- FreedomBound 17:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm really not broadcasting that here, as I seriously do not need to deal with a mass migration of GWW trolls to make my life difficult. -- Wyn talk 17:07, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok. I was just curious. -- FreedomBound 17:08, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Idk who got owned more here, Wyn for being the cat lady, or Auron for being... the cat lady. -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 18:19, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

At least neither can be called the crazy cat lady...that badge of honor goes to my fiance. — Gares 18:41, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I have a feeling I'm gonna have a lot of cats once my gf moves in, so I think I'll be dealing with that in the near future too -- Tha Reckoning File:User Tha Reckoning Sig2.jpg 18:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Cats are awesome! ... though I think dogs are still much better!! :D.--Lania Elderfire 18:48, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

No way =^-^= Cats are such much cuter--/ u /nendingfear File:User Unendingfear Avatar.png 18:54, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Dogs smell tbh. Cats are cleaner than the rest of the house, which is always a big plus. Thanks! NuVII 19:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

That's mostly because cats get their litter bloody everywhere. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 22:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
